• World Book Day 2024

  Fri 01 Mar 2024

  Look who was hiding in our library this morning – Pippi Longstocking, Little Miss Sunshine and a skeleton from Funny Bones.

  We have had such fun celebrating World Book Day today, it was great to see so many characters and children dressed up.

  After breaktime the children could choose an adult to visit to listen to a story.

  During the afternoon children from across school buddied up to read to each other and share their chosen books.

  

• Children's Mental Health Week 2024

  Fri 09 Feb 2024

  This week is Children's Mental Health Week. It aims to empower, equip, and gives a voice to all young children in the UK!

   

  Place2Be have created this video with Elmo to talk about Celebrating the Day. What would your best day ever look like? Please watch it with your child: https://youtu.be/3ImDhakjhqY

   

  Our Diana Award Anti Bullying Ambassadors led a reflective collective worhsip on Wednesday to talk about Children’s Mental Health Week. We will be marking this by wearing our scarves to school.

   

  There are lots of ways that you can support your children and family’s wellbeing. Making sure that you are listening and hacving open conversations can be very powerful.

  We posted some book recommendations on X this week: sometimes having a way to open the conversation ca be tricky. Reading a book together and talking about the story can ensure that positive conversations are happening, and questions can be asked and addressed.

• Santa Fun Run 2023

  Wed 01 Nov 2023

   

  Rainbows Santa Fun Run – Loughborough to Santa’s workshop

   

  We will be joining forces with the other schools in our Rise MAT family by taking part in the famous Rainbows Santa Run as we aim to complete the distance from Rainbows Loughborough Children’s Hospice to Santa’s workshop in the North Pole to raise money for this wonderful charity.

   

  Collectively there will be around 4000 pupils and hundreds of staff, running, skipping or walking the 2575 miles around sports fields, school halls and play areas to cumulatively complete the distance it would take to reach Santa in his workshop! As the famous Helen Keller once said “alone we can do so little, together we can do so much”. Which is why we know, by working together we can achieve this huge distance.

   

  Mark Cole, CEO of Rise MAT, said: “Being a part of Rise MAT means having a commitment to the community and helping our children realise what we can all achieve if you work together. We want to provide our schools with the opportunity to work in collaboration with each other, and what better way to do so than with a fun filled Christmas themed fun run raising awareness and vital funds for an amazing charity!”

   

  We will be completing our Santa Fun Run on Friday 1^st December.  We fully understand how there are many pressures on families, especially more so at this time of year, but any support you can give to this amazing charity, would be hugely appreciated. Every step and every donation, no matter how small will genuinely make a difference.

   

  Donations can be made through our Just Giving page, unfortunately we are unable to accept cash donations. https://tinyurl.com/HighamSanta
