• Jerusalema dance at HIPPS as part of Children’s Mental Health Week

  Fri 16 Feb 2024

  Children’s Mental Health Week 2024 took take place from 5-9th February 2024. This year’s theme was My voice matters.  My Voice Matters is about empowering children and young people by providing them with the tools they need to express themselves. When we feel empowered, there’s a positive impact on our wellbeing. Children who feel that their voices are heard and can make a difference have a greater sense of community and self-esteem. This year, we want children of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to be empowered to work together to create a positive change for their mental health and wellbeing.

  During Children’s Mental Health Week, we want all children and young people to be able to say – and believe - “My Voice Matters.”

  After the success of last year, we decided to come together again and enjoy The Jerusalema dance. The whole school performed the spectacular dance on the playground on Thursday 15th February, well done everyone, keep dancing and connecting.

  

• Year 3/4 Egyptian Day

  Fri 16 Feb 2024

  Year 3 and 4 thoroughly enjoyed their Egyptian day earlier this week to celebrate the end of their history learning. Amongst other activities, the children made clay amulets and had the opportunity to ‘mummify’ a tomato. When I visited their classes they were able to tell me why the amulets were so important to an ancient Egyptian when they died. Thank you to all those parents and carers who were able to join us to learn a little bit more about what the children had been learning and thank you to all the staff in Year 3 and 4, particularly Mr Wilson for making such an exciting day possible.
