Junior School Weekly - 3 November 2023

Habs Weekly Junior School edition Friday 3 November Autumn Term

Head of Junior School’s message Welcome back and I hope you had a fantastic half term break. It has been lovely having everyone back in school.

On Monday, students in Years 2 to 6 had the opportunity to participate in diversity and inclusion workshops that were both enlightening and inspiring. During these workshops, our children engaged in thoughtful discussions about what an inclusive environment looks like, how to embrace their own diversity and that of others, and why diversity matters. These conversations encouraged them to reflect on the value of respecting and appreciating differences, while fostering a sense of belonging and acceptance within our school community. It was wonderful to see our young learners coming together to celebrate their unique qualities and to understand that diversity is what makes us strong and united.

On Wednesday, Year 2 took part in a highly engaging workshop to enhance their learning about the Great Fire of London. The girls had the opportunity to participate in numerous activities such as bread making, candle making, creating newspapers and weaving.

Head of Junior School’s message continued Please make sure you are following us on X @habsgirlsJunior to catch up on all the exciting news from every class for Year 1 to Year 6. If your daughter is in Rainbow, we will be continuing to use Tapestry to keep you updated on their learning.

Looking forward to seeing many of you on Sunday at the St Catherine Parents’ Guild Fireworks event.

Mrs Claire Brown Head of Junior School

RAINBOW TO YEAR 6 INFORMATION CONTINUED

Junior School Playground IMPORTANT REMINDER The Junior School playground is staffed and open to students from 8am. To ensure the safety and wellbeing of all our students, no Junior School child should be on the playground before this time, even if they are accompanied by an adult. If students arrive before 8am, we ask that they wait outside the playground with an adult or remain in their vehicle until the playground is staffed.

Breakfast Club is available for families who would like to drop their children at school before 8am. Pupils need to be booked in by the Friday of the previous week to be included in the register for the following week. If parents need to make an emergency booking, an email must be sent to Mrs Walsh so that the register can be updated.

Please book via the Wraparound Care link on page 5. If any Junior School students are found to be unaccompanied by an adult before 8am, they will be taken to Breakfast Club for their safety, and a charge will be applied.

Please can all parents and guardians be reminded that once you have collected your Children at the end of the school day, they should return to their vehicle and leave the school site as soon as possible. This will help ease traffic flow in the car park for other parents collecting their children.

Family Friday We hope Rainbow, Year 1, Year 3 and Year 5 and those that attended Family Friday and the parent talks before half term found it an enjoyable and informative time.

Below is a reminder of the next Family Friday dates this term: Key dates:

The middle doors will be open from 8am and from there you will head to your child’s classroom, where you will sign in. If you have more than one child involved in the event, older siblings will collect their work and meet you in the classroom of the younger sibling.

Author Visit: Korky Paul

NEW

We are delighted to announce that the Junior School will be hosting a visit from author and illustrator Korky Paul on Tuesday 28 November 2023.

Korky is probably best known as the illustrator of the Winnie the Witch books by Valerie Thomas but he has also illustrated several other books including anthologies of poems edited by John Foster and Michael Rosen. He will be talking to the girls about inspiration for their own art and enthusing them about the joy of reading. This will support the literacy work that we do in school, and we hope it will prove a stimulating experience for the students.

Following his talk, Korky will conduct a book signing. You can pre-order books for signing from the selection listed below or, if your child already has any of Korky Paul’s books or would like to purchase them separately, these can be brought in on the day for Korky to sign.

Winnie and Wilbur, The New Computer Winnie’s Best Friend The Santa Surprise

£5.99 £6.99 £5.99

To pre-order, simply complete this form by Friday 17 November. The cost of your order will be added to your end of term bill.

RAINBOW TO YEAR 6 INFORMATION CONTINUED

Odd Socks Day

NEW

MONDAY 13 NOVEMBER Every November schools throughout the United Kingdom take part in Anti-Bullying Week. This is an opportunity to spotlight bullying and consider the steps we can take together to stop it.

Anti-Bullying Week 2023 will be taking place from Monday 13 to Friday 17 November, with the theme ‘Make A Noise About Bullying.’

Bullying affects millions of lives and can leave us feeling hopeless. But if we challenge it, we can change it. This Anti-Bullying Week let’s come together to have discussions about what bullying means to us, how banter can turn into something more hurtful, and what we can do to stop bullying. Together, we can make a difference and take a stand against bullying.

Odd Socks Day is an opportunity to have fun, be yourself and spread awareness of the core values Anti-Bullying Week promotes. We are all unique and that should be viewed as a wonderful thing and never be a reason for someone to be bullied.

In school, we will be helping the children to identify, prevent and respond to negative and harmful behaviour. We will continue to teach about the dangers online and how they can keep themselves safe. We will also be celebrating our individual differences and to support this, we invite all children, staff and parents to wear odd socks on Monday 13 November.

Changes to collection procedures

NEW

IMPORTANT INFORMATION We have recently made some changes to our agreed collection procedures, regarding collection of Junior School students by siblings.

If your daughter is in Key Stage 2 (Year 3,4,5,6), they may now be collected from After School Care or an after-school club, by a sibling who is in Year 7 or above.

If your daughter is in Key Stage 1 (Rainbow, Year 1 and 2), they may now be collected from After School Care or an after-school club by a sibling who is in Year 10 or above.

If you wish for your daughter to be collected by a sibling, they must be added as an authorised collector on Firefly. You will also be asked to confirm the sibling collector’s date of birth. If they are not listed, we will not be able to release their sibling to them.

Children attending After School Care should be collected from the external door of the 2 Alpha classroom. Children attending an after-school club should be picked up from the Junior School playground. These locations are the same for all year groups.

We hope that these changes will afford greater flexibility to families within our school community. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Ms Elliott. uelliott@habsgirls.org.uk .
