Well it’s official … summer has arrived!!!!! Due to the warm weather we will be applying sun cream to your child when they access the outdoors. Should you wish to opt out of this, contact the school office. If you would prefer your child to use their own cream, send in a bottle labelled with their name.
Thank You
As part of our school improvement plan this year, the staff and myself have focussed on creating core curriculum planners and statements for health and wellbeing. To this end, I would like to invite parents who are interested along to the school to be part of a focus group to review our planners and provide feedback on them. The focus group will take place on Wednesday 8th June at 10 am to 11.30 am. Should you wish to be part of this group, please contact the school office.
As part of the school’s work towards a Recognition of Commitment Award for Rights Respecting Schools, we are having a ‘Day for Change’ on Friday 13th May 2016. Pupils can come to school wearing their own clothes if they bring in some loose change from home. Look for spare pennies and change about your house and send it in so we can donate to UNICEF to help keep children safe who are currently living in war zones.
Well done to our Termly Certificate winners who were presented with their certificates at this week’s assembly.

Unfortunately we have a viral infection lingering in school. Should your child arrive at school and have a high temperature, rash or cold and flu like symptoms we will send them home. If you are taking your child to the GP, it is advisable to let the GP know that there is a virus in school. Some of our children and young people have underlying health care needs and if they contract a virus this may lead them to being admitted to hospital. The school are taking additional precautions re health and hygiene procedures following advice from the school nurse. If you require further information or need advice please contact our school nurse, Karen Muir, you can contact her on 01294 272802.
Generation Science is visiting school today to deliver Ella’s Wobble workshop to the primary pupils. They will start off with a story all about sound, before making their own musical instruments to become part of the story. Keep an eye on your child’s class blog for photographs.

Happy long weekend everyone. Remember school returns on Tuesday.

Haysholm were delighted to welcome Janette Montague, a very experienced music therapist to our school this morning. Janette will be working with all of our children over the next couple of months providing music therapy. I popped into observe some sessions today because I have never had the chance to be involved in this therapy in all of the years that I have worked in Special Education. It was very interesting and it was lovely to observe Janette having a ‘conversation’ through music with some of our children and young people. I look forward to popping in again as the project develops over the next coming weeks.
