Irish dancing success

We have an Irish dancing beginner 2nd place world champion in our school! Wow! What an achievement! We celebrated her success in our assembly today and wanted to share her success with our school community so we can show her how proud we are of her. The multiple medals are from different elements of the competition in Dublin. She placed second in the Beginner level Worlds Championship, so moved up to Primary level. She also placed 4th in Four Hand Ceili and 5th in all four Solos.

 

We know of many children who celebrate success in dancing or gymnastics or other sporting areas, with others achieving goals in national and local championships and some who are aiming for future success at national dance schools. We celebrate children’s achievements in our weekly celebration assembly on Fridays, please send in achievements so we can share and congratulate in our school family.

Sporting competitions

Well done to our Y6 netball team who played in the county finals this week. They tried their best and were a credit to themselves and our school, they didn’t place, but they gave it their best shot and should feel proud of themselves.

A special mention again to Arthur C who came away with a teamwork medal for encouraging others, nominated by the watching staff.

 

Next week we have Tag Rugby finals.

Amazing Aladdin!

Huge well done to our class 3, 4 and 5 children who were simply outstanding in their panto production this week. Their singing, acting, humour and teamwork was exceptional – well done everyone, we are so proud of you! You all remembered your lines adn delivered them clearly and confidently and you sang the many songs beautifully. A shout out to the many soloists who bravely sang their parts with confidence and clarity.

A massive thank you to our staff who enabled this production, making props, organising the logistics, teaching the staging and acting – a huge task, but very well done. Each class presented one scene, with class 4 going first, class 3 in the middle and class 5 at the end. Each class had a full list of parts to fill and all classes learned the songs.

Thank you to all the parents and family members who came to watch, and helped their children with costumes and learning lines at home – your support is greatly appreciated.

 

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.

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.
