Goodbye Mrs Akers!

Today we said goodbye to Mrs Akers as she leaves us for pastures new. In celebration assembly we presented her with plants, flowers, gifts and cards to express our gratitude for the joy that she has brought to our school throughout her time here. A truly special person, we shall all miss you greatly.

Mrs Akers alongside Mrs Noden has provided children in our reception classes with the very best start to their learning journey. They open children’s minds to endless possibilities, create a love of learning and begin to establish and foster early relationships. Getting learning right in the early years plays a crucial role to establishing future success; creating the essential foundations for further opportunities. We have been so lucky to have such a strong team at Hodnet over the years.

Mrs Akers we thank you for all that you have done over the years and we wish you continued happiness and future success. We look forward to hopefully seeing you in school with trainee’s as you guide them on their path to being excellent early years educators.

Our Y5 Football team thoroughly enjoyed their afternoon yesterday participating in the tournament organised by Grove School, they played a series of games and won! We have celebrated their victory in our achievement assembly today where they proudly shared their individual trophies, certificates and stationary sets. Well done to all involved.

Y6 Residential OakerWood day 3

Class 6 are having a thoroughly enjoyable time on their residential. Everyone is busy, motivated and pushing themselves to engage in all the activities. We are so proud of them.

On day 3 they worked as a team to ‘Capture the Flag’ and dug deep to challenge themselves to take the ‘Leap of Faith’.

Football kits

We are in need of some new football kits or general sporting kits for school and would like to know if any parents know of any local sponsorship or support towards costs.

Our children are so passionate about sport and we facilitate lots of competitions, both at inter school and county level, but we are in need of some kit to ensure we look as super as we play!

If you could support this in anyway, please see Miss Manton our PE & Sports lead or Mrs Lyall.

WhatsApp

Some of our children in a range of classes, both KS1 and KS2, have shared that they have contact with pupils outside school using WhatsApp. A reminder that the age rating guidance for using WhatsApp is 13 years old. Staff are increasingly finding that they are dealing with issues relating to fall outs or discussions using communication channels or other social media platforms, which then impacts on school life. Staff can then be occupied dealing with issues instead of leading learning. We kindly ask that families support us as we endeavour to keep children safe online and reduce online bullying impacting children’s education.

Sunshine!

Its been lovely to see and feel the sunshine this week, our children have thoroughly enjoyed playtimes on the field playing in our extensive grounds. We hope the weather will be kind to us and this sunshine will stay around! As such, please can parents ensure that children come to school fully equipped for the day. Children need sun hats and fresh water bottles daily.

Thank you.

Hometime reminders

A polite reminder:

Please can we ask that children are collected promptly at the end of the school day and that children, including younger siblings, do not use the play equipment at the rear of school at pick up times. Unfortunately we’ve seen an increase in families playing on school site after school, and whilst it is lovely to see children having fun with their families, we need to ensure that our facilities are ready for our afterschool activities in addition to keeping everyone safe. Please do not encourage children to run around our ‘daily mile’ track or field at home time. There is a local park with a large field located through the WMC car park which may be of interest to families after school.

Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.

Mrs Lyall, Headteacher.
