NEWSLETTER 13TH MARCH 2026 LAUNCHED!
F1 (NURSERY) AND F2 MOTHER’S DAY CAFÉS
Our F1 (Nursery) and F2 children had a truly special time celebrating their Mother’s Day Cafés with their families. In Nursery, the children delighted everyone by singing songs, proudly serving delicious treats and spending precious time playing with their grown-ups. Meanwhile, the children in F2 worked incredibly hard to prepare for the occasion, creating their very own placemats, baking cakes and designing beautiful banners to decorate the café. The classrooms were filled with smiles, laughter and love, making it a magical day and a wonderful memory for both the children and their families.
‘CHEEKY TUESDAY’ – TUESDAY 17TH MARCH – FOR CHILDREN IN YEAR 1 TO YEAR 6
Next Tuesday, we are having another ‘Cheeky Tuesday’, where your child can choose from the options below:
|
Squash in bottle |
20p |
|
Bring your own stationery (at your own risk) |
20p |
|
Nails painted |
50p |
|
Chocolate for your snack |
50p |
|
Wear your own jewellery |
50p |
|
Face painted |
50p |
|
Wacky hairstyle |
£1 |
|
Own clothes |
£1 |
These are all a little bit ‘cheeky’ because they are things that we wouldn’t usually allow on a normal Haydn school day. On this occasion, children can bring a cash donation or (preferably) make a donation on the Arbor app/portal.
The minimum donation on Arbor is £1 but there is no limit to how much you can donate. If you are paying on the app, please click ‘School Shop’ and make a payment there. Your child can choose one or all the options above.
Please do not bring items that are of sentimental or monetary value as school cannot be responsible for any items that go astray. We are holding a ‘Cheeky Tuesday’ to help fundraise for our OPAL play scheme. Thank you for your continued support.
RED NOSE DAY 2026

Next Friday 20th March is Red Nose Day and as usual we will be raising funds in school. The theme is ‘wear something to make us smile’ (non-uniform day). We would appreciate a donation of around £1 each but we ask that the children don’t bring cash to school. Donations can be made via the Arbor app/portal instead (please click on ‘School Shop’ to make a payment). Donations can be made from Monday 16th March until Monday 23rd March. Thank you.
