Haydon Abbey School and Pre School

🐻 Teddy Bear’s Storyteller Picnic Celebration! 🐻

Last week, we celebrated the wonderful efforts of our young readers with our annual Storyteller’s Picnic – a special reading incentive to recognise the children who have shown a fantastic commitment to reading at home throughout the year.

The children brought their favourite teddies from home and were captivated by the fabulous, imaginative stories and songs shared by the wonderful Sarah Law. Using an amazing collection of musical instruments, fascinating artefacts and intriguing objects, Sarah brought each story to life, immersing the children in a magical world of storytelling and sparking their imaginations.

And we are done! A final morning of climbing, low ropes and axe throwing and we are on our way home! The children have all been incredible. They have been kind, polite, encouraging and just an absolute pleasure to be around. They have shown resilience, perseverance and above all, have made us smile. They have been complimented by every member of the Manor Adventure staff for their fantastic conduct and attitude and we are super proud of all of them.

Final full fun filled day…bouldering, obstacle course and an afternoon of kayaking, canoeing and splashing about in the lake…finished off with a beautiful evening walk 🌅

The Year 6 children in school this week have also been having a great time taking part in a variety of activities inside and out of school.
On Monday, they went to Zoomania. On Tuesday, they took a trip to Preschool and spent time with the youngest members of our school 📚🎨and yesterday they took a trip to Waddesdon, where they explored the grounds and enjoyed the sunshine 🚶

The results didn’t go our way tonight but we have had an amazing day of abseiling, bouldering, Manor Olympics and a pre game disco. Another successful day ☺️

Year 4 had a fantastic Ancient Maya Day. The children arrived in some amazing costumes, helping to bring history to life. Throughout the day, they took part in a range of exciting hands-on activities, including discovering Ancient Maya artefacts, decoding Maya hieroglyphs, creating colourful masks and impressive headdresses, and working together to build their own Maya city. The children showed great enthusiasm, creativity, and curiosity as they explored what life was like in the Ancient Maya civilisation, making it a fun and memorable learning experience for everyone
