A MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF

SCHOOL

‘Do not dwell in the past, do not dream

of the future, concentrate the mind on

the present’ This week has been our Healthy Body,

Healthy Mind week which has enabled

the whole school to focus on enhancing the offer within school for supporting

learners and their mental health and

wellbeing. The pupils have enjoyed Tai Chi, Mindfulness and Zones of Regulation

sessions as well as an inspiring assembly

by two of our year 5 pupils. HJS are not

only extremely proud of our academic achievements but also the wider

curriculum which is offered to all pupils.

Mr. James

HEALTHY BODY, HEALTHY MIND

This week, we have been celebrating

'Healthy Body, Healthy Mind' week. With

our continuing focus on supporting mental health and well-being, all the classes have

taken part in Tai Chi workshops. In the

classroom, daily mindfulness lessons have been giving the children the

opportunity to develop their mindful

techniques. We have also shared our Vision for Well Being with the children.

Mrs Aarons and Mrs Woolf

We also had an outstanding pupil voice

assembly by Poppy Perkins and Flo

Gardener on mental and physical health.

CHRISTMAS

POST BOX

The box for children to post their Christmas cards to their friends in HJS will be on

display in the reception area from Monday

2nd December. Please make sure your child marks the envelope clearly with the

1st name, surname and class of the

recipient, to avoid cards not being able to be

delivered.

YEAR 6 CHRISTMAS MARKET We are delighted to inform you that Year 6

will be holding their annual Christmas Market

extravaganza on Friday 13th December.

This is a brilliant event which is organised and run by the children with a goal of raising

money for their end of year celebrations.

Pupils in Years 3 to 5 will visit the market from 1.30-2.45pm. To participate they will

need money (no more than £6 in change)

in a named purse/wallet. Open to parents from 3.15-4.00pm.

THANK YOU

We have a magnificent tree in reception which was beautifully decorated by Mrs

Glynn (ex-member of staff). It would

outshine any tree in a Harrods window!!
