Dear Year 6 Parents/Carers,

First of all, a HUGE thank you for all the effort you have put into helping your child prepare for their upcoming SATS next week. The children have been working extremely hard and we are really proud of their commitment. In the lead up to the tests we know that many pupils may feel anxious and we are working hard to reassure the children in school. Please take a look at the attached guide from ‘Third Space Learning’ which offers some guidance to parents/carers and pupils ahead of the KS2 SATS.

Thank you.

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who took part in our recent Extreme Reading Competition. We had some amazing entries from destinations all around the world. From New York to The Alps and beyond, we were amazed with the brilliant and unusual places the children found to read. We also raised an incredible £1,573!

Your school needs ONE parent governor. All parents where given an
opportunity to stand for election and THREE nominations have been received.
It will therefore be necessary to resolve this through a secret ballot. Your child will come tonight with one ballot paper, if your require an addition vote please contact the school.
You can vote for ONE of the candidates on the list below.
Candidates have been invited to produce a personal statement and, if this offer
has been taken up, these are attached to this message.
Please place an ‘X’ against the name of the candidate for whom you are voting.
Place the ballot paper in the official ballot envelope, sign across the back of the
seal and return to the Headteacher by no later than Friday 20th May 2022
Ballot papers, still folded, will then be placed in a ballot box for counting at the
appropriate time.

Thank You

Information regarding the Open afternoon and the Book Fair

Each Wednesday during term time, we will aim to bring you a guide from the National Online Safety Team as part of our commitment to helping keep children safe online.

This week’s guide addresses the timely and delicate issue of speaking with children about worrying content they've seen online. Young people are so connected to the world through their devices that, by now, the vast majority will be acutely aware of the situation in Ukraine, even if they're not quite old enough to comprehend it fully.

Many will have watched or read potentially upsetting news items online covering the invasion - and, in all likelihood, will need extra reassurance from trusted adults during these unsettling days. Our guide has practical advice on raising the subject with young ones, allowing them to express their concerns, and helping them to avoid feeling overwhelmed by their fears.

Please note - attachments do not show on our mobile app. Visit our website at https://www.hillviewjuniors.co.uk/news-and-events to view the guide.

On Saturday 19th March, Miss Maxfield will be aiming to row for 24 hours straight to raise money for the diabetes charity that helped change her life.

We would like to thank each and every member of our school community for your incredible donations towards our collection for Ukraine and Comic Relief!

We have been overwhelmed with the generosity!
