  Mon 16 Nov 2020 Mrs P Shaw

  A huge thank you to everyone for raising £70 on Friday for Children in Need. You all looked amazing in your spots! It was a great day and we had lots of fun. Year 3 and 4 took part in the BBC 5 to Thrive programme with Joe Wicks. If you would like to see him receive his Gold Blue Peter badge use the link below.

• Caring for the Community at Christmas

  Mon 16 Nov 2020 Mrs P Shaw

  Caring at Christmas

   

  Home Instead Senior Care is an ambitious company whose intention is to care for the elderly in their own home. Every year they organise a Christmas card competition. Although they cover the majority of England, our cards from Hawthorn Class at Great Horwood School will be dispatched by the Buckingham and Milton Keynes branches.

   

  There will be a winning Christmas card selected from schools in Buckinghamshire and this will be printed onto cards that will be sent to the people Home Instead care for. On the inside of our Christmas cards we had to write what we think it is like to be eighty years old.

   

  Why did we enter? It was a fun and friendly competition against other schools and because we want to make the elderly feel appreciated after a challenging year.

   

  We would like to enter the competition again next year as it has been very enjoyable and we do not want anyone to feel alone at Christmas. We hope our cards can put a smile on people’s faces.

• We Will Remember them!

  Wed 11 Nov 2020 Hawthorns Class

  In the last few weeks, Hawthorn Class have been busy planning, preparing and performing our remembrance service. We have created our own pieces of writing to reflect what Remembrance Day means to us. We also decided to include a roll call of the names of local heroes who lost their lives during the Great War, as we wanted to recognise and remember these individuals from our community. Our service was held outside in the playground, as this meant that the other bubbles in school could join us to remember those who fought so bravely for our country. In addition to our service, we have been creating a display of poppies and artwork to show our individual representations of Remembrance Day and what it means to us.
