CELEBRATING SPORTING SUCCESS

This can be anything from swimming badges to gymnastics awards, football trophies etc. Please email a photo and details to h.thieme@haydn.nottingham.sch.uk so this can be celebrated on the Sports Hall page on our website. Please click on the following link to see what fantastic achievements are on there already! https://www.haydn.nottingham.sch.uk/celebrating-sporting-success/

READING, READING, READING

We have loved hearing about all the reading that the children have enjoyed over the summer holidays and we’ll be finding lots of opportunities to talk about their favourites and authors as the term progresses in our Book Talk sessions.

 

Reading for pleasure is transformative for pupils’ academic success and personal wellbeing and with that in mind, we are having a Scholastic Book Fair in school from Friday 26^th September - Wednesday 1^st October from 3:20pm-3:45pm.

It is a pop-up celebration of reading and books and the children can come after school to choose something they might enjoy.
