A MESSAGE FROM MS PAULSON

Dear Families, it has been another fantastic week of learning at Haydn. As we move further into the new academic year, it is wonderful to see how confidently the children have settled into their new classes. New routines are now well established, and classrooms are already buzzing with enthusiasm, hard work and a real eagerness to learn. 

We encourage families to keep checking Class Dojo, where teachers regularly share updates, alongside reminders about upcoming events, important notices and whole-school news. It remains a valuable way for us to celebrate achievements and strengthen the partnership between home and school.

This week, our whole school assembly focused on the importance of kindness, respect and good manners. These values are at the heart of everything we do and are consistently demonstrated by our pupils each day. We are incredibly fortunate to work with children who show such care and consideration towards others and we recognise the important role that families play in helping to nurture these qualities.

One of the greatest joys of being part of the Haydn community is seeing these values in action. Whether in classrooms, around the playground or in the corridors, our children are polite, friendly and welcoming. I am often greeted with a cheerful smile and a thoughtful, "How are you today, Ms Paulson?" It is these everyday moments that make our school such a special place and remind us of the wonderful young people we have the privilege to work with.

Thank you for your continued support and I wish you all a relaxing and enjoyable weekend.

TEACHERS RUNNING FOR CHARITY

Did you know that lots of teachers at our school love running together? Mrs Crawford, Mrs Green, Mrs Galpin and Miss Clarke are getting ready for two very exciting challenges! On Sunday 20th September, they will be running the Tissington Trail Half Marathon and then on Sunday 27th September, they will be running the Robin Hood Half Marathon around Nottingham.

They are running to raise money for a very special charity called ‘Breast Cancer Now’. They would be very grateful for any donations, to help raise as much money as possible. Every little bit will make a difference!

HOP ON THE SCHOOL BIKE BUS! 

Join us for our monthly fun, friendly and marshalled bike bus to school — complete with music along the way! It’s a brilliant way for children and families to start the school day together, while helping make our streets safer and our air cleaner.

Years 3 and below: children must be accompanied by an adult.

Years 4 and above: children who are confident cyclists and have previously joined at least one bike bus ride with an adult can join independently at parent's discretion.

Don’t have a bike? No problem! Pop in to see Anthony at ‘Bikes Love You’ to borrow an adult bike — including ebikes— completely FREE. Pick it up after school on Thursday and drop it back Friday morning.

Everyone is welcome — whether you’re a regular rider or want to give it a try for the first time.

Bike bus stops: 8.10am - Hood Street playground, 8.20am - Pirate Park playground (carpark), 8.30am - Jensen Way, 8.40am - Arrive at school.

You don't have to join on one of our official stops. If you see us passing by and want to join then hop aboard!

A MESSAGE FROM MUMS FOR LUNGS - SHOW YOU CARE

We teach our children about being kind and helpful. Let’s show them, as well as tell them. Some children and families at Haydn have access needs which mean they need to park close to school. If you can walk for a few minutes, please leave the spaces nearest school for those who can’t. You’ll make their school run a little easier, while also helping to keep the roads safer and the air cleaner for everyone.

If you drive, please park safely away from the gates and switch off your engine while waiting. A little patience and consideration towards residents, staff, families and volunteers makes the school run better for everyone.

You don’t need lots of spare time to join our Mums for Lungs group. You can attend occasionally, share ideas or simply help spread the word. It's not just for mums! To find out more, see www.mumsforlungs.org
