Spring Term Curriculum Newsletters
The latest Curriculum Newsletters have now been published. You can find them on the year group pages of the website or the links are below. Please try and familiarise yourself with the learning and events that are due to take place this term so that you are well placed to support your child with their learning. Any questions about them, please speak to your child's teacher.
Children's Centre Stay and Play
We have seen a drop off of attendance at the brilliant stay and play sessions taking place each week at school. Please can you promote this within your networks, it is a fantastic resource and it would be such a shame for the community if it was no longer viable. Hopefully we can get some new families attending over the next few weeks - thank you.
Girls Cricket Opportunity
Hampton Wick Royal Cricket Club has a thriving juniors section that caters for children aged 5 upwards. This year we have set up a girls section and are looking to grow it. We have entered the Middlesex softball league and Surrey hardball league for girls and hosted a Surrey SMASH event at the club, with a number of clubs from across Surrey attending.
MWRCC won both the u10s and u11s events.
All ages and standards are welcome. Training takes place on Sunday's 1-3pm at Esher College. HWRCC have kindly wavered all girls' memberships this year!
For more information in joining the girls section contact James Watson: j.watson@heathfield-jun.richmond.sch.uk
