At Hacton, we have introduced a celebration of our attendance. Each week, as part of our assembly, we will announce who the Awesome Attendance winners are. They will get to have our Attendance cup for the week and will be rewarded with a treat in recognition of their fabulous attendance.
See below for last week’s figures:
In order to reward our pupils who have gone above and beyond in their learning each week and put in extra effort, each class teacher chooses one pupil to receive the E for Effort cup and certificate.
Here are this week's winners. Well done - we are very proud of you all!
Congratulations to our Times Table winners this week! These pupils have hopped aboard the Times Table train to continue their journey to becoming a Times Table Champion. They have worked exceptionally hard to learn and master their multiplication and division facts.
Congratulations to our Reading and Poetry Superst★rs this week! To achieve this award, all of these children have either read poems or books by their year group authors (Bronze is 5, Silver is 10 and Gold is 15). A big well done to this week's winners who have demonstrated great commitment and dedication to reading.
Our Achievements of the Week winners should be very proud of their success!
Thank you to all of the pupils who took part in the ‘Summer Visual Diary’ competition. We had fantastic entries from throughout the school and Mrs Murphy has put together three display boards in the main corridor to showcase all of the entries!
The results of the competition have been announced and the prizes awarded! Well done to everyone who took part.
This week, a number of our Year 6 children took part in the Bikeability training programme to help learn and develop the skills needed to cycle on the road safely. Across the week, the children learnt how to safely check their bikes and after practising on the playground, were able to enjoy riding on the roads around school.
Well done to all that took part!
To kick-start our Great Fire of London History topic, the children in Year 2 became bakers and made a bread roll from scratch. They had to follow a recipe and then mix, knead and prove their dough, just as Thomas Farriner would have done in 1666. They then waited overnight as the bread proved and then had fun shaping and baking their bread rolls. Luckily, the children were able to use an electric oven and not the open fire oven that would have been used. The smell of freshly baked bread wafted down the corridors and all mouths were watering!
The children fully enjoyed their experience and now feel ready and more prepared to learn about the historic events of September 1666.
