A MESSAGE FROM MS PAULSON

We’ve come to the end of another busy and productive week in school. Many children across different year groups have been out on school visits, enriching their learning and making valuable memories. Year 2 children have been to White Post Farm, Year 4 children visited Perlethorpe Environmental Education Centre as well as the Albert Hall to take part in the ‘Great Orchestra Experiment’. Last week I was lucky enough to accompany four members of the school council to the Primary Parliament at the Council House where they gave a presentation to Nottingham City Councillors, schools and other agencies around the theme of ‘Safe, Positive Neighbourhoods’. All pupils represented the school beautifully and we are very proud of both their behaviour and their achievements. We look forward now to the Year 5 production of ‘The Tempest’ next week – prepared to be amazed! We feel privileged to be a Royal Shakespeare Company Associate School.

PARENTS’ EVENING

It was a pleasure seeing so many of you at the parents’ evenings this week. We hope you enjoyed looking at your child’s work and finding out about their progress in school. Thank you for filling in our annual survey. We value your views and contributions. This allows us to address any concerns or worries and continue to move forwards positively. There’s still time to complete the survey if you haven’t already -  details below.

EID MUBARAK FOR SUNDAY OR MONDAY!

Our Muslim families will soon be celebrating the end of Ramadan with the festival of Eid al-Fitr. This is expected to take place on Sunday 30^th or Monday 31^st March, depending on the moon. Enjoy this very special time together.

We are looking forward to our Eid celebration day in school after Easter (including a celebratory lunch) and we would love to create a display afterwards. If anybody would like to send us a photo of their children in their Eid clothes or celebrating Eid with their family, this would be great for our display in school. Please send any photos to Mrs Harris r.harris1@haydn.nottingham.sch.uk

  MUMS FOR LUNGS

Mums For Lungs is for all parents and carers. They are a national group who campaign for clean air for kids. Haydn is taking part in the Sustrans Big walk and Wheel challenge taking place until Friday 4^th April to help reduce air pollution around the school.

Air pollution is a mix of particles and gases that harm you when you breathe them in. Particulate matter (PM2.5) is one of the most dangerous pollutants, it’s made up of tiny particles of soot and dust. Gases like nitrogen dioxide, are emitted by (mainly diesel) vehicles.

Here are another couple of tips regarding air pollution and what you can do to reduce it:

No Idling – Turning your car engine off whenever you pull over is a really easy way to stop polluting the air and it saves fuel.

Rethink Online Deliveries – Collect deliveries from a local shop rather than get them delivered to your home, as this cuts down the amount of courier driving.

JOB VACANCY! – MIDDAY SUPERVISORS WANTED! We need two additional midday supervisors to support the children through mealtimes and lunchtime play. Can you spare 1 hour and 15 minutes each day? Please call at the school office for an application pack.

Children’s Book Project

A big thank you to everyone who donated to The Children’s Book Project, it really will make a difference to so many children. We collected nearly 300 and we are really proud of everyone who donated.
