Fancy winning a £10 gift voucher? Why don’t you enter our ‘Green Fingers Competition’?

As the Gardeners of HWPS, we are working hard to look after and improve the outdoor areas of school, not only to improve the school environment but also so we can make greater use of the outdoor space to help us with our learning.

We are seeking the help and expertise of members of the school and local community. We wish to send out a letter to local businesses and community groups to ask them if they could support our projects by providing help and advice or materials.

We invite you to write a letter to inform members of the school and local community what we aim to do and asking for any support or advice. The person who pens the winning letter, chosen by the Gardeners, will win a £10.00 gift voucher and their letter will be sent out to the community.

All entries need to be handed to the Gardeners by Thursday 23rd February and the winner will be announced in the celebration assembly on Friday ^24th February.

So what are you waiting for, get those green fingers writing!

In literacy, Year 6 are learning about persuasive writing and in particular persuasive arguments. We have been finding out about graffiti and the differing views people have towards it. We will be debating the question, ‘Is it art or vandalism’, at the end of this week and we would value your own opinions on the subject.

Love it or loathe it, everyone has an opinion on graffiti. On one hand it costs councils thousands of pounds every year to remove it from public property. However, for some, it’s one of the greatest forms of modern art. So what do you think?

Spring Term is going to be extremely busy Term for year 6 as we prepare for SATs. Please find attached the most recent curriculum newsletter.

Last year, you may remember Year 5 taking part in a European chain reaction with 13 other countries. This weekend we received notice that the project had won the “2011 medea award.” The award was down to the outstanding partnership between the European friends, under the guidance of Dave Schrauwen (from our twin-school, Qworzo in Merksplas, Belgium)

Here is a link to the website – click to read the report and view the video.
