Big Maths Day Last week all classes from YR-Y6 took part in ‘Big Maths Day’ with a focus on measurement – they

had a day measuring and exploring and having great fun with maths.

Year 3 Trip to We The Curious Year 3 had an amazing time at ‘We the Curious’ last week and were

fantastic ambassadors for the school. They were curious and

enthusiastic and behaved respectfully and considerately. They

learned so much about every aspect of science and had great fun

doing do. Well done, Year 3!

CST Arts Workshop

Congratulations to artists Arafa, Edy and Zoe in Y6, Natalia and Taiyaba

in Y5 and Eshan and Cristina in Y3 who were selected to join a group of

students across the Trust for whom English is an additional language (Zoe

went to help interpret for Arafa). They were part of a special arts

workshop to produce 5 large collaborative paintings. Their work will be on

display in the Eastern Lady Chapel of Bristol Cathedral over February

Half Term.

Dark Angels As many of you will know, Dark Angels is a Hip Hop

dance group which is part of the Angels Dance Academy.

ADA is a dance club that teaches Hip-hop, Jazz &

Cheerleading and many of our children attend.

Dark Angels is coached and choreographed by Charlie

Bedford, who used to attend Headley Park Primary,

followed by Bedminster Down Secondary. Dark Angels

are currently taking part in ITV’s ‘The Greatest Dancer’

shown on Saturday nights. They were chosen for Oti

Mabuse’s team and have got through to the second live

show. As they are so closely connected to Headley Park

and role models for many of our children, it would be

fantastic to see them do well in this show so please tune

in on Saturday and give them your vote!

New Holiday Camps Tim Shears, a former Headley Park

parent and governor, has set up a new

company, Kings Sports, which will be

running multi-sport holiday camps for

6-12yr olds at St Mary Redcliffe and

Temple school (which includes

swimming facilities). The camps will

be run by PE teachers from the

Bristol area, and they are currently

offering discounts for early and

multiple bookings. For more details

Sports Update Year 3/4 Sportshall Athletics - WINNERS

On Wednesday 29th January, our Year 3/4 Athletics

Team took part in the Sportshall Competition at St

Bernadette’s Secondary School.

For many of our children it was their first experience of

representing the school and they were amazing, winning

every race and every field event! A truly brilliant effort.

Year 5/6 Athletics- West of England

SILVER

On Monday 27th January, 21 of our Headley

Park children took part in the West of England

Winter Games at UWE, having qualified in December.

The kids were up against the best schools from across the region, but they performed to an

exceptional level and won many field events as well as some strong performances on the track.

Finishing with a silver medal is a fantastic achievement - the children worked incredibly hard in the

lead-up to the event and we were so pleased they achieved the result they deserved.

Attendance

Well done to everyone who was entered into the draw for 100% attendance. This

week the lucky winners were Lexie in 6C who chose a squishy toy and Luna in 1H

who won a pirate book.

Whole school attendance this week was a bit lower this week at 94.5%.

Congratulations to 4P who won the class attendance trophy this week with 95.8%.

Website We are in the process of building a new website and will be making it more streamlined and easier to

navigate. In the meantime, we are updating and removing some sections and have had some technical

difficulties with this. You may experience some problems using the site in the next couple of weeks.

If you have trouble finding information you need, please ring the office or email

Online Safety

Think twice before you share our faces online, say children.

One of the key rules we try to impress upon children is to think hard

before sharing anything online as it will be there forever. However, this

is something that us adults should consider too. We are often keen to

share family moments on social media, all too often without the

permission of our children. Attitudes amongst children and young adults

towards their image being out there on social media for all to see would appear to be changing and,

with ‘consent’ being so important, is it time for us to rethink how we behave online? Don’t take it

from me, take it from the children.
