INTERFAITH WEEK ASSEMBLY

On Monday, Karen Worth, (ex Haydn parent) came into school to share with us the amazing work of Salaam Shalom kitchen, where Muslim and Jewish members of our community work together in Hyson Green to provide free meals and food to anyone who needs it.

We would like to support them, so if you would like to contribute to this worthy cause, please bring tinned or dried food donations or cash donations to the school office. Thank you.

PUNCTUALITY AND ATTENDANCE

A reminder to please ensure your child arrives punctually to begin school at 8.45am each day. School finishes at 3.15pm. Teachers begin planning meetings at 3.15pm so please do your best to collect on time. If you are running late, please ring the school office to let them know.

 

At Haydn we are committed to ensuring that all children have excellent school attendance. Our school target this year is 97%. We understand that children need to be off school when they are ill but other than that, they need to be in school. Holidays should not be taken in term time and we will contact you if your child’s attendance falls below 90%.

Anti-Bullying Week

This week is Anti-Bullying Week and the theme is: Choose Respect. Giving and receiving respect from others is important because it helps us to feel safe and valued.

 

There are many great books to choose that can help children understand what bullying is and how children can learn strategies to overcome it. Below are some examples of lovely books.

 

Peggy is an apologetic pigeon. She always assumes she’s in the wrong. Even when she’s the one getting bullied. But Joan, an older female seagull, gives her the necessary skills to stand up for herself. This hilarious tale from award-winning author Wendy Meddour contains an important message about the importance of being assertive.

An uplifting and empowering picture book about finding your inner strength when school life gets tough, from the winner of The Great British Bake Off and national treasure, Nadiya Hussain, beautifully illustrated by Ella Bailey.
