Swine Flu

Swine flu is a virus that is particularly affecting children and young adults. Children are proving to be highly efficient carriers of the swine flu (H1N1) Virus and schools provide the perfect environment for it to spread.

To read more information from the Health Protection Agency about Swine flu in schools please (click here).

The HHTC children are very concerned about protecting the environment around them so we decided to join The Big Tidy Up, which is Keep Britain Tidy's latest campaign to get the public,  especially children involved in cleaning up our communities. Over a week our children donned bright green tabards and armed with huge litter bags and litter pickers they patrolled the borders of the Vesey field and both the Infants and Junior Playground filling 8 bags of litter.

The children were magnificent, very enthusiastic and hard working all week. They have decided to continue with this activity and  will work hard to keep our school grounds tidy in addition to the hard work that the children do during the school day.

 We are proud of them.Well done!!

Reception September 2009 Parents-

Your child will be able to meet and play with other reception children and you will have the opportunity to meet some of our staff and find out more about what we offer.

Please ring Meg korzun/jan Walker on Tel No. 464 1925 if you require further details.

Congratulations to all those children who took part in the Bikeability course level 1 and 2 last week.

Here we see Adam and John, cycling instructors putting the children through their paces.

All 25 children passed which Adam described as unprecedented!! So well done everyone.

As a reward for all their efforts, Adam and John took the children on a cycle ride to Sutton Park for a well earned ice cream. Well done everyone, certificates will arrive next week.

WATCHING EDUCATIONAL FILMS/VIDEOS

As many of you will already know, Visual Literacy is an integral part of our teaching of reading and writing at Whitehouse Common Primary School. Children use popular films to develop their understanding of characters and settings, to develop their vocabulary and use of different sentence structures, and as a stimulus for many speaking and listening activities including drama.
