This morning, we had a very memorable Assembly! The whole school was excited to see the Alford Silver Band playing as they entered the hall. Renditions of 'The Bare Necessities' and 'A Whole New World', were played with our very own Louisa playing Cornet.

Here at Halton Holegate primary school we are lucky enough to have two children who were originally born in China! This afternoon, Class 1 celebrated their ethnicity in their DT lesson, learning all about Chinese food, celebrations and traditions!

Miss Kitchen had a helping hand as Nikita very kindly came over from Class 2 to teach us all about the country she was born in and the foods she has at home - she really was a fountain of knowledge!

The children loved trying a variety of traditional Chinese dishes and even had the opportunity to use chopsticks! Again, Nikita was a superstar in helping them use these.

What a lovely and insightful afternoon!

Dear Parents,

Thank you for the support you have given the children with the items you have sent in to school. This will help us to make it a better environment for wildlife and help our lunchtime gardeners.

We are still looking to develop the wildlife area with a pond, trail and more native wild flowers. If anyone has any large logs or stones for a seating area they would be greatly appreciated

Our new bird box is already in use by the Bluetits

What an eggstremely, eggciting afternoon the children have had with Mr Cole, Chair of Governors, Mrs Cole and their lovely puppet, Chas, who helps Mr Cole with collective worship via zoom.

The children have been busy with an egg colouring competition, an Easter bonnet parade and an egg hunt on our school field! It was fun for all. Each child kept the eggs they found and were given another from Chas!

Thanks were given for the lovely activity afternoon from the children.

This school year, 2020- 2021, Eco committee and Gardening club will be joining together to develop a large wildlife area on the school field.

Today, some very keen children wheeled an oak hedgehog box (made by Mr Barber, for the children.) to the other end of the school field where it is quiet. The bottom of the fence will allow wildlife through. After, the children selected the perfect place they made sure the leaves were just right to keep a hedgehog warm.

Our next job was to spread some wild flower seeds onto the wild life area so they could settle and be ready to germinate in the spring.

Lastly, we have two new bird boxes to put up ready for spring.
