- Just a reminder school closes today until Tuesday 3rd November. Monday 2nd is a PD Day.
- Please don’t forget our recycling scheme for school uniform, we want parents to reuse the uniform to support our sustainability pledge, so please come to the lobby and have a look at what we have and take what you can use. Thank you so much for all our donations but we unfortunately can not take anymore items at present. We will let you know when we can accept some more uniform.
- Nursery pupils who have booked to attend Breakfast Club and Wraparound care, please inform school if the place is not required so we can cancel the additional staffing arrangements in place to accommodate Nursery pupils. Please note non attendance at clubs will still be charged.
- Parking is not permitted in the staff car park at drop off and pick up, this includes breakfast club and wraparound care. If family members wish to use the disabled space and have a valid blue badge, please see Mrs Lyall to make this arrangement.

Oakerwood Leisure by Year 6
This week year six went to Oakerwood Leisure and had an amazing week!
Our favourite activities were high ropes which included zipwire, quick jump, monkey climb and gladiator.
We also did many more fun activities including paintball, rafting, capture the flag, pizza making, crate stacking ,target shooting ,team building and woodland navigation.
The activities were great some were team challenges others individual. Crate stacking was very hard because it was on a bit of a slope! We all loved the zipwire which was very scary but as soon as we jumped off it was super fun Paintball was very hard, but we were determined to have a good time.
We all persevered and enjoyed all of the activities that required us to be a great team! We worked well together, had a of fun and loved doing something different together this week.
We all loved Oakerwood it was a great opportunity to be adventurous we hope we get another great opportunity to do something like this again.

Miss Darmanin would like to say how amazing the children in class 6 have been this week at Oakerwood. They have been respectful, resilient and shown great team work all week, never giving up on anything or each other.
Miss Darmanin and the Oakerwood Staff are so proud of the year 6 children and how they have represented Hodnet School. Well done.

Thomas Adams Enterprise Day
As soon as we got there we were very excited. The school ambassadors led us to the drama hall. The man at the front told us what we were going to do. We were going to design our own cereal boxes! It was really fun! Ours was full of yummy ingredients- like marshmallows, oats and chocolate. Everyone was very creative. One person said ” after you had a bite you breathe fire”.

Eco Team exciting project
Well done to our Eco Ambassador team who met with the team from Let’s Go Zero today. They made a plan to participate in Switch Off Fortnight from 23rd November. The Lets Go Zero team brought digital equipment including thermal imaging cameras which were great fun to use. They further inspired our team to make small changes to have a huge positive impact.
Mrs Lyall and our 318 Estates manager also met with Lets Go Zero to discuss ways to further support sustainability and make impactful energy saving cuts around school. They did a tour of school, finding some small enhancements which we can make to hopefully make a positive difference.
Look out for more information and developments next half term.
Visit the Lets Go Zero website for more details about this Department for Education endorsed climate change team.
