Children at Haselworth have been making cakes for that  someone special in their lives! The school has close links with the charity FareShare; a charity that takes surplus food, redistributes it around the country, where it is used by partner charities to help those who need it. We were fortunate enough to have most of the cake ingredients and decorations supplied by FareShare.

We made £53.50 profit, and this will be put towards improving our school grounds.

We were very proud to be in The News again this week for the work we are doing with Fareshare. It is available online http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/our-region/gosport/primary-school-working-to-deliver-free-breakfast-club-1-7802221

Children in Year 5 and 6 were invited to The Tech Deck at Landrover BAR HQ in Old Portsmouth. They had a behind-the-scenes experience with hands-on interactive exhibits, enabling all pupils to get close to the boats, people and technologies in development that will allow Land Rover BAR to fly faster and sail smarter. The interactive exhibits bring to life the real-world challenges that the team, its designers and engineers face in designing, building and racing in the America’s Cup.

The aim of the visit was to foster and ignite young people’s interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). Landrover BAR hope to inspire pupils to continue on to careers in these essential fields as well as learn about the team’s key focuses including sustainability and ocean health.

Yet again, the children’s behaviour was impeccable. They listened well, asked thoughtful questions and had fun using all the interactive exhibits.

Bradley in year 6 and his mum will be taking part in this years Marie Curie 2017 Swimathon.

The talented chefs in Kingfisher class created yet another delicious dish using the ingredients provided by FareShare. (A local charity we work alongside on a weekly basis.) We only had to buy a bag of macaroni as the  bacon, cheese sauce and sweetcorn were on the weekly delivery from FareShare. It was hoped that some of the macaroni cheese would make it home, but as you can see from the photos, it was just too tasty. Clean plates all round and lots of smiles.

Lego club met again this week.  The children worked together really well as a team, and the talking about designs was really helpful.  The winners of model of the week this week are Jessica and CJ.  Well done. We will update this each week.

Please be aware that this afternoons football match against Rowner has been cancelled. Please ensure children are collected at 3pm.

Today we invited our team of volunteers in to say thank you for all their hard work and dedication to the school.

We had a lovely Christmas dinner and a good time was had by all!

Today we celebrated the end of the year with a Christmas service at Holy Trinity Church, attended by the whole school and parents.

Led by Revd Davies and pupils from Year 6, the school sang and illuminated the church with small LED candles gifted by Holy Trinity.

Sunshine class and Wrens class sang songs ‘The First Christmas’ and ‘I have to Fly to Bethlehem’.

Owls performed their version of the Nativity with Makaton signing.

Puffins led the congregation in singing Away in a Manger.

Kingfishers read the ‘Four Candles of Advent Poem’.

And Oliver concluded the service by reading a Christmas Prayer.
