First Week Back: Completed
Quiz Night Saturday
9th May
Get your thinking caps ready for
our PTA Quiz Night on Saturday 9th May 2026! It promises to be a
fantastic evening of fun, laughter and a little bit of healthy rivalry. I will
be taking on the very important role of Quiz Master. It would
be brilliant to see as many of you there as possible—whether you're in it to
win it or just in it for the laughs!
Swimming
During this half-term we will be
enjoying our very own pool! The children will be swimming on different days so
please ensure that swimming costumes, towels and any other important items
(swimming caps, etc.) are packed and ready to go. The children should know
which day of the week they are swimming each week but please remind your child
to bring in their kits.
Half
Term Project – My 1, 5 and 10 Year Plan - Due Monday 25th May
For this half-term
project, we are going to be exploring life after Little Heath Primary School. In
class we have started thinking about what we would like to do in the future,
from achieving targets by July to life in our 20s. I would like the children to
create a three-part presentation which explains their goals for a year from
now, five years from now and ten years from now. They can consider potential
learning targets, new behaviours, hobbies and even careers. It is important that
the children research what each goal or target entails (qualifications, personal
attributes, time spent to achieve, cost implications, etc.). Each presentation should
be no more than 2-3 minutes so please don’t worry about preparing mountains of information.
Remember that this is all about the children considering and understanding what
they need to do to reach their own aims.
We will be presenting
our plans in the final week of the half-term.
Spanish Day (Thursday)
We are really excited to be celebrating Spanish
Day in school on Thursday 23rd April!
Throughout the day, the children will
be taking part in a range of fun, cultural activities. Each class will enjoy
a flamenco workshop, giving them the opportunity to experience
traditional Spanish dance and music.
Children are invited to come to school
wearing Spanish colours (red and yellow) or Spanish-themed clothing.
There will also be a special
Spanish lunch menu available on the day.
It should be a fantastic day full of
music, creativity and cultural learning — we’re really looking forward to it.
