Every Moment Counts!

This week we have seen the sun shine each day which has meant the children have been outside enjoying the new playground equipment in lovely weather. The children have embraced the variety of equipment on offer and finding new ways to play kindly together.

As the weather is changing all children need to come to school with a water bottle and sun hat. Please apply sun cream before they come to school in the morning. All children need to be well protected in the summer sunshine and have plenty of water to drink.

Children have been making excellent choices this week. Two children in Year 3 went and supported a child from another class who was feeling alone and they all played together. Year 3 have worked hard to help Mr Harding become a Rock Hero on Times Tables Rock Stars. They have given him helpful tips on learning his times-tables and getting faster. He is almost there. He just needs to practice his 12s!

Year 5 and 6 had a wonderful trip to the UEA this week. They met and learned from an award- winning author. They also created their own awesome pieces of poetry or creative writing. The children’s behaviour at all times was exceptional.

Shout out for support for new members/helpers for the Friends of HGPA. If you are interested then please contact the school office.

Unfortunately, there will not be a Summer Fair this year. Rather than rush something together that will not be good enough for our community, we want to begin planning now for a super Christmas Fayre. We hope you understand the reasons for this difficult decision.

Diarrhoea/Vomiting

Please be reminded that if you child has an episode of diarrhoea / vomiting they need to be at least 48 hours clear from the last episode before returning to school.
