Sensory story

19th September 2019Ellen Jankowski

First of all sorry for the delay in our class blog! There have been a few technical issues which have now been sorted! Yey!

The children continue to grow in confidence in their new classroom and are really starting to show us what they can really do! We are learning all about where we live this term and this half term we are focusing on our homes. In our literacy lessons, we have enjoyed a sensory story of ‘Peace at Last’. Ray has been a great ‘Mr Bear’ and the children all love waking him up with different things!! We have also been learning the signs for different rooms – see if your child can remember these at home.

**On Monday we will be taking our first trip out to Ikea. We will be looking at the different rooms to see if we can guess where they would go in a house – and of course we’ll have a little trip to the café! We would like to ask for a contribution of £1 to cover the price of a snack and a drink.**

Hadrian Hair shop

12th September 2019Elaine Quinn

The next hair shop will be held on Friday 11th October in school!

This has proved to be a great day and the progress some of our children have made overcoming their fears around hair cuts has been fantastic.

We have raised over £500 which has helped us buy new equipment for the hair shop, as well as some much needed resources around school.

Consent letters will be coming out the week before, so watch out for these!

Pass it on Parents

12th September 2019Elaine Quinn

Our next coffee morning will be Friday 20th September in the food technology room 10am – 11.30 am.

Pass It On Parents is a great, supportive group. If you need help filling in forms or applying for grants, this is the group you need. If you want to know what is available in the area for children with additional needs, we can help with that too. It’s a relaxed and friendly group and we welcome any parents who need specific support or who just want a cuppa and a chat. Come along and meet other local parents, make new friends and get great advice and support.

Goodbye and Good Luck Class 1a

19th July 2019Jess Burns

Hi everyone,

I am so nostalgic writing this and looking through all their old pictures, they have grown massively in height and personality over the last 10 months. They came from Reception just little bods, all shy and quiet. Now we can’t stop them chatting!

What a wonderful year, we have all absolutely loved it. It has been great watching them progress in all different areas, especially, their communication skills, their physical skills and their confidence has sky rocketed. We have actors, dancers, singers, writers, mathematicians, nurses, shop keepers, animals and many more. Their imagination and creativity is amazing. I have loved thinking of new and exciting ways to keep them engaged and to bring on those skills.

You now have a Year 2 child! Can you believe it? I know they are going to continue to make outstanding progress. Their new teams are such lucky people!

Thank you to all you parents and carers you have been a dream, you all care dearly for your children and are on the ball with their every need. From sending their swimming kit in to sun cream to donations. This wonderful year and all their lovely trips wouldn’t have been possible without you.

Another massive thank you for all our gifts and cards, we are very grateful! It has been a pleasure having your child and I know they will flourish throughout their Hadrian school journey. I will miss them so much and I will be stealing cuddles every day in the quad.

Thank you,

Jess, Michele, Sharon and Katherine

Class 1a

(I thought I would share some photo from the very first term! Look how much they have changed!)

What a half term!

19th July 2019Rachael Budden

We have had such a brilliant last few weeks in 6b, the highlight definitely being Activities Week- the smiles on the children’s faces for the entire week were priceless!

To top everything off, our Leaver’s Assembly yesterday was just brilliant and there definitely wasn’t a dry eye in the house!

We have had an absolutely brilliant year with your children and have loved every minute of experiencing them learn and grow. We wish them all of the luck in the world either at their new schools or in Year 6 at Hadrian. Have a brilliant summer!

The Grand Opening and Goodbye for the Summer

19th July 2019Julia Kelly

Yesterday we had the Grand Opening of the “not yet named” Shed. We have been working so hard to renovate the shed in an inspirational place to work and play and at last it is finished and ready to use. Mr Rollings officially opened it and we all had a glass of sparkling apple juice to celebrate. Everyone made a mark or wrote their name on the blackboard painted wall and we then had a delicious ice cream. We all agreed that it is the best looking shed we have seen.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support over the past year. We have had a wonderful year full of exciting learning opportunities and are proud of each and every one of our children. We hope you have a happy and healthy summer break and we look forward to watching your children flourish in their new classes.

Babs, Lindsay, jess and Ann.

Family Fun day !

18th July 2019Elaine Quinn

A big thank you to all the staff who worked hard to make the family fun day such a great day! We had a fantastic turn out and the sun shone. We were delighted to host Pony Friendship, West Denton Fire Brigade, Nobels’ Amusements and Rides, the Alan Shearer Centre, Community Dental Nurse and many more.

The family fun day is a great opportunity for our families to find out information about local services, socialise with friends old and new and raise money for our wonderful school. Thanks so much for your support, and see you again next year at our 2020 Family Fun Day!

Hadrian Happy Hairshop

18th July 2019Elaine Quinn

Another busy day in the pop up hairshop.

The progress some of our most anxious children have made is amazing, now sitting happily without any adult support, huge steps. The children seem to really enjoy the atmosphere.

We bought new equipment for the salon and table and chairs for the new outdoor classroom class 4/5a have been busy with.
