Welcome Back!
... and a warm welcome to all our new children and their families.
Everyone has made a great start to the new term and we have enjoyed seeing so many friendly faces and catching up with holiday news. We hope that this will be the best year every for the children of Hazlehurst School!
The first newsletter of the new school year is available on the ‘Newsletters’ page and the ‘Coming Soon’ section above will keep you up-to-date with all the important dates. Please get in touch if you need any information and, as always, you are most welcome to contribute to our Guest Book. The Golden Book will be updated every Friday.
Best wishes from all the staff.
 

Goodbye and Good Luck!
We said a fond farewell to all our Year 6 leavers and their families at the Leavers’ Assembly on the last day of the summer term. We will miss these lovely children and we send them all our best wishes for a happy and successful future. Keep in touch!

Congratulations!
Well done to everyone who was presented with an award at this year’s Prize Day. We are all very proud of your achievements.
Keep it up!

Ponds Mean Prizes!
Thanks to Costain for their fabulous donation of £5000 to make all our wildlife dreams come true. All the children and staff enjoyed the presentation ceremony and our cute home-made creatures enjoyed the event too from their perches on the new sculpture tree!
We composed our own special Wildlife Song to go with our entry. We hope you enjoy it!

Hello Ducky!
Year 5 had a great time learning about life cycles in nature at Martin Mere. They recreated an ant colony by acting out the different jobs of all the ants (including visits to the queen ant!); they cycled through the seasons in the Viking Village; they got close up and fed the birds, and they went a bit wild themselves in the adventure play area!
Thanks to all the staff for helping and to the children for their brilliant behaviour.

Junior Sports’ Day
Everyone had great fun taking part in this year’s sporting challenges. Lots of parents came to watch the action and at the end of the day our winning house team was Chester!
Well done to everyone involved.

2010 Summer Fair
The fair had a sporting theme, linked to the World Cup celebrations. The sun shone brightly all day and everyone had a wonderful time.
Thanks to everyone who helped to make it such a big success!

There’s no business like show business!
Our Key Stage 2 Summer Concert was a great success. The singing, dancing and acting was all superb, and the costumes were spectacular!
Well done to all the children and staff for putting on such a great show!

‘Oliver’ - by Years 5 and 6

Africa Day
Everyone had a fantastic time learning about African culture on our recent Africa Day. There were all kinds of fun activities, including art, cookery, mask-making, sports, research into Water-Aid, singing and an exciting drumming workshop. The school kitchen staff even prepared a special African menu for dinner time! It all ended with a celebration in the school hall where everyone shared what they had done during the day.
Thanks to all the staff for their hard work and preparation and to the children for their enthusiasm!

A Grand Day Out
Our Year 2 children had a great time on their recent trip to Blackpool Tower. They learned about the fish in the aquarium, watched a 3-D film about dinosaurs, saw some amazing circus acts, went wild in Jungle Jim’s, and saw the view from the top of the world famous Blackpool Tower. Some were even brave enough to take the ‘Walk of Faith’ - a glass walk-way with a view right down to the bottom! Thanks to all the staff who helped to run the trip!

A Night at the Oscars
Congratulations to our Year 6 pupils who won the award for Best Film produced by Key Stage 2 in the 2010 TCSC Media Awards. Their film was a moving documentary called Horrors of the Holocaust, which explores a child’s view of this tragic episode in human history. We are very proud of this sensitive piece of work and the children’s superb use of technology in putting it together.
Well done!

Action Stations!
It has been non-stop action on the Year 6 trip to Robinwood Activity Centre!
We were all very proud of the way the children faced up to all the challenges and their behaviour was excellent throughout the trip. They have been a credit to Hazlehurst.
Well done to everyone involved and thanks to the staff for making it all happen.

Thanks to everyone who helped to make our recent Family Treasure Hunt such a happy and successful event, especially the Martin family who prepared the questions and the Friends Association and staff for running the event.
