Fireplace Safety

We have been asked to share this safety information regarding fireplace surrounds. Having a fireplace surround installed safely in the home by a professional can often by overlooked during home improvement projects, but for families with children in particular, this could prevent an easily preventable injury or death in the home from the surround toppling on top of a youngster. RoSPA and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have promoted the importance of safe installation of modular, stone or artificial stone fireplace surrounds following the death of four-year-old Matthew Green, who was killed when a fireplace surround fell on him. Individual components of these fireplaces can weigh more than 50kgs and unless fitted in a secure manner, this makes the mantel, in particular, liable to topple off the lintel. Advice RoSPA's advice when buying one of these products is to: Seek professional advice BEFORE buying the product. Get assurance that the product you intend to buy is suitabl...

Welcome back

Welcome to Hedon Primary News Blog. We will be using this site as our newsletter and adding content from curriculum coordinators too. It has been lovely to welcome back all of our pupils this term. Whilst we are still taking a cautious approach to mixing, we have been able to relax some restrictions. This means our dining hall is back in use over lunchtime, children are mixing with a least one other class at breaktimes and at least two at lunch and Key Stage Assemblies have begun.

All of our pupils are benefiting from Talk for Writing, Key Stage 1 have started Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised phonics as well as a new Mastery Maths initiative and Key Stage 2 have been enjoying lots of new reading books. Whilst we are...

Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised

We are really enjoying using Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised. Reception pupils are already blending the sounds they know to read simple words and Year 1 are showing good retention of last years phonics learning. Children in Reception and Year 1, take part in a daily phonics lesson learning 4 new sounds a week. In Reception, they may come home with a stickers on their front with the new phoneme (letter sound) they are learning on it. Please practise this sound at home. Mrs Wood will continue to add videos to seesaw so that you can see how each phoneme is pronounced. You can also access videos on the Little Wandle website alongside visuals to help with writing and learning these. The link for the Little Wandle parents materials can be found below: https://www.littlewandlelettersandsounds.org.uk/resources/for-parents/ In Year 1, children will learn how different graphemes (written letters) might make the same sound e.g. w ay , w eig...
