The Date Project

๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ The Date Project ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ

Dear Families,

We're excited to support The Date Project once again this year! Since 2015, this initiative has spread generosity during Ramadan, starting with a simple £10 box for Al-Huda Bakery in Syria.

We have beautifully designed date tins available for just £10, showcasing stunning designs for Yemen, Kashmir, Syria, Palestine, Somalia and Bangladesh, just to name a few!

Join us today after school on the junior yard to pick up your tin! Your support truly makes a difference.

For more information visit The Date Project

Thank you for your support!

OPAL Playtime Donations Alert!

Morning families!

We’re super excited to share that our Opal Play project is a hit with the children during lunch times! ๐ŸŽ‰ To make it even better, we’re reaching out for your help!

This week, we’re on the lookout for any pushchairs, toy prams and scooters, that you might have tucked away and no longer use. If you have any of these items, we’d love to give them a new home in our play sessions!

Thank you so much for your ongoing support! You make our community awesome! ๐Ÿ’–

Parent & Carer SEN Meeting

๐ŸŒŸ Attention Parents and Carers! ๐ŸŒŸ

High Hazels Academy is excited to continue our partnership with The Sheffield Parent Carer Forum to enhance the school experience for children with additional needs.

Join us for our parents and carers meeting on Wednesday, 4th February at 9am at High Hazels Academy. This is a great opportunity to share your thoughts and connect with other parents.

We’ll discuss:

• Why some children struggle with social skills and what we can do to help

• How we can help our children understand their own difficulties/needs and begin to express these

Plus, we'll tackle other school-related topics and answer any questions you might have. Drinks and snacks will be available!

Together, let’s make a difference! Will you join us?

๐ŸŒŸ Today in Y1, we kicked off our new adventure with the book *Traction Man*! ๐Ÿ“š We had a blast exploring its vibrant pictures, lively speech, and fun comic-style writing. To bring the story to life, we crafted our own puppets of the characters and dove into some role-playing of our favorite events! ๐ŸŽญโœจ What a fantastic day of creativity and imagination! ๐Ÿฅณ #TractionMan #StorytimeFun #Y1Adventures
