The school celebrated the Queen's 90th birthday today in true patriotic style! All children designed a stamp to commemorate the Queen's birthday or celebrating a British trandition/landmark. The stamps were displayed along the wall leading into the playground.They had a themed birthday picnic lunch in the playground and sung the national anthem, whilst waving Union Jack flags. In the afternoon, the children spent some time learning about the Royal family. As you'll see from the photos, the Queen was able to stop by for a photo opporunity with some of our pupils!

 

Sunshine class had a fantastic sunny day at Marwell Zoo! We got to see lots of animals including penguins, rhinos, meerkats, zebras and giraffes. We even got to see the leopard, who was walking around his cage and the tiger who was sleeping in the sunshine! 

 

We had a lovely picnic on the grass next to the ostrich! Then it was time for a workshop and we learnt about birds, mammals and reptiles!  We ended the end looking at the snow leopard and owls. It was a long and tiring day for the adults and children and some fell asleep on the minibus on the route home! 

Kingfisher class spent a glorious day challenging themselves on the adventure trail, making dens, climbing trees and map reading their way around the forest. They all got back safely, and nobody got lost!

Please be aware that there is a slight change to this weeks menu on Friday 13th May 2016.

The red choice will be Fish Fingers instead of Battered Fish.

Thank you.

Thank you to all members of the community who came to our meeting this week.  The children and adults came up with some amazing ideas with Hampshire Landscape Strategy on how we can best use our outdoor areas.

 

What a fantastic week we have had.  The children have been learning about the legend of St George, and the parents joined us on Friday for a celebration and concert.  Each class performed and we had poems, stories, songs and even a country dance!  The school wore red, white and blue and all the money raised is going towards BLESMA - our school charity.

 

Well done to the winners of the cake competition: Dylan, Jessica, Alexis and Alison. 

Kingfishers' class have been in the news this week.  See it here first!

On Thursday, Kingfisher class enjoyed working with 3  Apprentices from BAE Systems. Olivia, Jordan and Dan talked to the class about the exciting and varied work carried by BAE Systems in Portsmouth and around the world, and showed  a video about all the different job roles on offer within BAE Systems. The children were then challenged to design and build a marble run, with the winning team having the slowest moving marble. A big well done to Phoebe Hoyle, Oliver Twyman, Summer Pretlove and Oliver Dixon - Haselworth's marble run champions.

During the Easter break, a group of children attended the first Haselworth Gym Camp, a morning of gym-based activities, with an opportunity to earn a British Gymnastics Badge. Six of the children achieved the entry-level  8 badge, and another five also passed level 7 badge. Vanessa King and Mrs Millard were very impressed by the attitude of the children, who all showed great concentration, as well as clearing enjoying themselves.

Children have worked really hard during Science week! We have looked at using STEM, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths to investigate and solve real life problems. Children worked in small groups in class to design, build and test their ideas and use the Haselworth Learning Behaviours to evaluate and improve their work! It was lovely to see all children and adults working hard and enjoying the projects!
