Last week, Year 3 created their own pieces of artwork inspired by Raku Inoue. They used natural materials found in the woods to create different animals. Have a look at some of their amazing work!

Have a look at Year 4’s moustaches! We enjoyed wearing moustaches to support the ‘Movember’ campaign. 

HPS Food Bank 

A little reminder that our food bank collection is taking place on Friday. 

Please bring in a donation or two for the food bank and wear your non-school uniform. 

Thank you! 

Dear Parents and Carers, 

This festive season, our HPS Christmas post box will return! It will be located just outside of Mr Tribble’s office from Friday 1^st December and will remain there until the end of term.

If your child would like to deliver their Christmas cards using the post box, please ensure that all envelopes are clearly addressed with first names, last names and classes (or year groups at the very least). 

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

This week, we say well done to...

KS1 Maths: Y1 Ash 

KS2 Maths: Y5 Willow 

KS1 Spell: Y2 Elm 

KS2 Spell: Y5 Willow

On Friday, Year 4 had a great time supporting Children in Need. Look at all our spots!

Today, some of Willow class, organised themselves to share a piece of text together.  They took turns in reading paragraphs and then had an in depth discussion about what they had read.  They supported one another on their understanding of vocabulary whilst also discussing their thoughts and opinions of the texts.  Later, they went on to answer some challenging questions.

The maturity shown was great and clear to see as they sat, focused on the sofas together.

Well done guys!

This week in PSHE, Year 4 have been learning about the risks in six different local environments and how we can manage them. We had a whole class discussion first and then wrote down as many risks and management strategies as possible!

How well do you think you can run, jump, bounce and throw? Well, our brilliant athletes from years 5 & 6 proved they could do all of these with focus, energy and determination when they represented HPS at the inter-school competition on Friday. Races were run with lightning-quick speed - knocking 3+ seconds off of other schools’ times; jumps were long - even when faced with the triple jump for the first time; speed bounce counts were insane - 42+ in just 30 seconds! Yet, when baton change overs were not as smooth as we’d have liked or when slips and falls occurred when turning off from the reversa boards, they rallied around one another: the support and encouragement they had for one another was amazing! An incredible team performance - well done everyone. 🙂
