• Week Beginning 17th May

  Fri 14 May 2021

  Firstly to members of our school community who have been celebrating this week, we wish you all a very happy Eid!

  On Monday next week, our school photographer is coming in to take class photographs. Please ensure your children are wearing their full school uniform. If your child is in Reception and they usually have PE on this day, they do not need to bring their PE kit with them. However, children in Year 4 should bring their kit to school in a bag please.

  We look forward to welcoming back Class 8 on Monday. Well done for completing your home learning, we are looking forward to seeing  you back. Please may we remind all parents that if any children are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, a new continuous cough, a loss of taste or smell or a high temperature, you must take them for a PCR test and isolate with any siblings until the test results come back. This is to ensure everybody's safety. Please do not send children to school if they have any of these symptoms.

  On Friday (21^st), the children are invited to wear odd socks to support the Daniel Spargo Mabbs Foundation.  This is a charity that we work closely with to help educate our children about the dangers of drug taking. If you are able to support the charity, and the fantastic work they do in schools, please consider making a £1 donation. This can be paid on ParentPay. Thank you.

  Please can we remind parents, if you are providing your children with grapes in their packed lunch box, to slice these in half before you pack them. Whole grapes are a choking hazard for young children. We want to do everything we can to keep our children safe.

  The week beginning 24th May, will be our whole school History Week. Previously in History Week we looked at 'Historical Places in our local area'. This year the focus is on be 'People in History who are linked to our local area'. After the event, we will share some of the children’s learning on the gallery page of our school website.

  We wish you all a safe and happy weekend and thank you for your ongoing support.
  The Hayes Team.

  

• Week Beginning 10th May

  Fri 07 May 2021

  We hope you enjoyed the extra day together yesterday. As always, it was lovely to see the children back in school today.

  Snacks at break time: please may we remind parents that we hold the Healthy Schools award. This requires us to encourage our children to promote healthy life styles particularly in regards to food choices. In Key Stage One, the government provide a daily piece of fruit to the children for their mid-morning snack. The children in Key Stage 2 are not provided with a free piece of fruit but they are welcome to bring one in from home for break time, but this is all they are allowed to bring (unless they have an allergy to fruit, in which case, we are happy to discuss alternative healthy options). Since we have returned from lockdown, we have noticed a number of unhealthy snacks such as cakes, crisps, cookies or chocolate covered cereal bars being provided to the children for their mid-morning snack. This is not permitted.  If you wish to provide your children with a snack for break time, please ensure this is a piece of fruit or some vegetables e.g. cucumber chunk, raw carrot or sugar snap peas. Thank you.

  Face Coverings: we have also received some emails from concerned parents to say that a number of parents are not wearing face coverings at the end of the day whilst waiting in the playground to collect their children. Please may we remind you that the rules remain the same for now. We have a number of parents in our community that are clinically vulnerable. We know that cases of COVID-19 are asymptomatic for one 3^rd of people. Please do wear your coverings to protect yourself and each other.

  Roadmap Step 2: for parents and carers and children: please click on this link to access the Local Authority's flow chart for what you should do if your child or someone in your household has developed Covid-19 symptoms.

  Fun! We are in the process of trying to arrange lots of fun activities for the summer term. Whilst these may have to take a slightly different format to usual, we are hoping to host a Year 6 leavers production (virtual), sports events for the whole school (children) and other exciting activities. We will send you details of these as soon as possible.

  In the meantime, thank you for your ongoing support.
  Have a lovely weekend. ​
