Community

As a community school we are proud of the commitment we have to taking part in events both local and national.

 

We will share our community and fundraising events information and outcomes below.

Explorer's Afterschool Club Staff would like to say a massive congratulations to all the children that entered the Perfect Pets Art Competition. The Perfect Pets competition has been run in conjunction with clubs and schools from all over the UK. Some of our children have been lucky enough to be selected to have their art work published in a new Perfect Pets 2023 book which will be available to buy from the 18th December 2023. Having our children's artwork published is something that we are all very excited and proud of. All Explorers that have their parents/carers permission to have their artwork published will be entered into a prize draw to win the following prizes for their club - A top prize of £1000. 10 x runner-up prizes - an animal adoption package Each child that entered will also have the chance of having their picture as the front cover design and winning a goody bag including art supplies from Staedtler. Every entrant is also awarded with a certificate and sticker. Well done Explorers you are all truly inspirational!

Thank you for all of the harvest festival donations. All donations have been delivered to Jimmy's Foodbank in Poole who support our families.

We had our final quad kids event on Monday for the year 3 and 4s. I have to say, they all did an amazing job! As this would have been their first event out of school, I was impressed with their resilience, and total respect to each other and other schools. Well done to everyone, I am very proud of you all. Mrs Cruttenden.

On our first week back from the Easter holidays, the whole school took part in a London Marathon fun run. Every year group ran on a particular day around the school and had fantastic support from the surrounding classrooms. Parents came on site to cheer and participate with their children which I know the was greatly appreciated by everyone. The event was to promote the London Marathon, which took place on Sunday 23rd April, and it was an excellent opportunity to promote sport and exercise in school. Heatherlands will continue to run whole-school sporting events to promote health, sport and well-being for everyone to enjoy!

We took some of Yr3 & Yr4 children to St Aldhelm’s on Tuesday to take part in some multi-skills events. They had an absolute blast & really enjoyed themselves! They took part in a mixture of skilled activities working on their agility, balance and co-ordination which was led by the St Aldhelm’s sports leaders. They showed respect to the staff and other children as well as showing great motivation to get the tasks done to the best of their ability!

Children who belong to a Scout, Brownie, Rainbow, Guide, Cub etc pack, wore their uniforms with pride today, on World Thinking Day.

Girls Football Match - Heatherlands v Bayside Academy

Great day at indoor athletics! Good job everyone.

We had an absolute blast at the School Games last Friday 27th Jan! The Yr3/4 children really enjoyed playing football, capture the flag, bench ball and dodgeball! They were extremely well behaved and showed great teamwork when they out into teams with different schools. I was so impressed by their attitude and respect towards other children – we should all be proud! Mrs Cruttenden.

Year 5/6 children had a fantastic time at the School Games event at Cornerstone academy! Even though they were a little nervous, the children participated well in every event. They listened well to the sports leaders, played well as a team, encouraged each other at all times and were a credit to the school. Every event began with a Heatherlands team huddle which motivated them all. We played with a positive attitude and thanked our opponents for playing with us at the end of the afternoon. Mrs Dighton

Canford School Year 5 & 6 cross country event - 29.9.22

Remembrance Event - September 16th 2022

 

Our first school community event this year has been suggested by Jayden Brice in Year 6.

 

As part of this years Heatherlands Voice, Jayden asked if the school could mark the occasion of the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II by suggesting the children come into school dressed in red, white and blue. This will be for all children on the Friday before the official state funeral. 

 

If you are able or wish to contribute £1 towards this 'non uniform' event, any monies raised will go to our chosen charity and one of the Royal families supported charities - Macmillan Cancer Support.

 

Thank you.
