Today we were honoured to launch our very own in house Little Hadham Primary School ‘Off By Heart’ performance.

All our children from Saplings to Willow class performed a class poem ensemble. The children performed absolutely brilliantly and we are very proud of all of the children as they shared their poems beautifully – well done! Remember a joy when reading poetry is that you don’t have to read whole books in one sitting. You can dip in and out, share a poem and let it linger, talk about a poem, perform it and let it live within you.

Thank you to Mrs Tweedale for organising, it was such a fabulous way to spend a wet morning. I can’t wait for the next one.

Eight of our Year 5 mathematicians entered the HFL Education annual Year 5 Mathematics Challenge Competition and qualified for the final. This is a national competition for Year 5s across the country and is organised by the Herts for Learning. There were 260 teams, from Herts and all over England, both State and Independent Schools. Both teams entered the final stage and they got the 3rd and 4th places!

Thank you to Mrs Sassis, our Maths Coordinator here at Little Hadham Primary for organising and supporting the children. Mrs Sassis said that our pupils impressed with their team work and mathematical skills. Also, throughout the challenge they were smiling, working hard and eating snacks!

Well done to all, you were fantastic representatives of our school.

Today our Junior Dragons from Willow Class, had fun raising money for a charity called Space. This charity supports families of children and young people who are neurodivergent. They have now raised just over £400. In their Dragon sessions they came up with the idea for a Little Hadham Bake Off.

We are very proud of them as it is so lovely to see so many children working hard to help others. Thank you to Mrs Lloyd Williams for organising to take part in the Dragon’s again. They have really enjoyed learning from this experience and it’s so lovely to see them giving back to the community.

Ash and Saplings were very busy preparing for our exciting track opening ceremony today. We wrote a thank you card to Mr Graham McAndrew from the council, for giving our school some money in order to make our track design come to life! Also, they decorated bunting with their favourite vehicles, practiced their cycling and scooting skills, and wrote supportive messages to help cheer their friends on. Thanks to those of you who were able to make it to celebrate with us. The children really have enjoyed making use of our track and they cannot wait to develop the space further with additional signage, to support the children in making links between their real-life experiences and their play. A HUGE THANK YOU  to Mr Hutt our Chair of Governors for making this happen-what would we do without you!

Each year, the 11th of February marks an international celebration of women and girls in science and STEM and the contributions they make in their field. As you may know, there is a huge gender gap between men and women in Science! Also, there are even less girls and women across sciences such as Physics, Chemistry and so on. These subjects are really important because they affect every aspect of our lives and the world around us. As a school we are committed to ensuring that gender should not be a barrier to participating and contributing to the world of scientific research or any other subject.

Therefore, today at Little Hadham we celebrated International Women and Girls in Science Day with some female sixth formers from Hockerhill School. In an assembly they discussed the different science subjects they are studying and the area of science they wish to study at university. An ex pupil of ours Una, did a very exciting WOW experiment. It was a huge success and we also discovered a few potential future scientists amongst us! One of the quotes from the ‘Hockerhill Steminists’ was, ‘It was a brilliant opportunity to meet some of the minds of the future and though we set out to inspire the next generation, their enthusiasm inspired us to continue being curious about all our fields of study. #steminism’

A fabulous way to spend an afternoon. Don’t forget to check Seesaw to hear them singing so beautifully.

Wow! What a fabulous lunch was had by all. Noisy…well…  maybe a few decibels louder than your average lunch time! It was so lovely to be all back together celebrating and sharing food. Thank you to our wonderful chefs and to all our governors and staff for helping make this day such a wonderful memory.

Watch this space Simon Cowell because Little Hadham Primary definitely has got talent!  The rest of the school and Judges were treated to an awesome talent show that included; magician, pogo stunts, solo singers, musicians, dancers, footballers  and gymnasts.  A tremendous amount of effort had gone into creating just the perfect performances.  Well done to all who gave it their very best  and entered- you were super brave and did brilliantly. And an enormous THANK YOU to our judges, Mrs Nicklin, Mr Edwards, Zoe (our dance teacher) and Lauren and Isla, you were all very professional. As you can imagine, there was added excitement to see the return of Mrs Nicklin and Mr Edwards to the school. I am sure you heard the squeals of delight from home!
