Hi everyone! So an exciting date for your diary ... next Saturday we have our Hartwell Church Summer fete and you are all invited. 😀 It will be from 2-4pm and we will be in the paddock behind Grange Farm House, on Park Road (so that you don't have to dance around the pews in the church!). There will be lots of stalls, games and refreshments. Please come and support our village church! See you there! 🥳

Our final winners of this school year!
Look out for letters coming home in September with details how you can join

Screens are now part of everyday family life, but for very young children, clear and predictable boundaries can help screen time feel calm rather than constant.

Our latest guide shares practical advice for families, nurseries and early years settings on supporting healthier digital habits for under-fives.

The guide covers:
• Choosing age-appropriate content
• Protecting bedtime routines
• Keeping devices in shared spaces
• Co-viewing and talking about what children see
• Using simple scripts and transition warnings
• Modelling balanced device use as adults

With supportive tips and realistic routines, this guide helps adults manage screen time with greater confidence.

This week is our last Flourish event of the school year.
We hope you will join us round in the Flourish Garden from 3.30 onwards

Sports Day — Friday 19th June
We warmly invite parents and carers to join us for Hartwell’s annual Sports Day on Friday 19th June.

Morning (Years 3–6)
• Events start with the morning session for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6.
• The School Lane gate will remain open at morning drop-off so spectators
can gather.
• Chairs will be provided for family members, but you are welcome to bring
your own.
• The KS2 session will finish in time for lunch; at that point we will ask
spectators to leave the site so staff can prepare for the afternoon
session.

Afternoon (Reception, Years 1–2)
• The afternoon session is for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.
• The School Lane gate will be opened at 1.15pm for afternoon spectators.
• Chairs will be provided for family members, but you are welcome to bring
your own.
• The KS1 session will finish in time for the end of the school day; at that point children will be taken back to their classrooms and will be dismissed to parents from there.

Refreshments and fundraising
• FOHPS will be serving refreshments to spectators throughout the day.
• Hot and cold drinks will be available to purchase.
• Card or cash accepted.

Safeguarding and supervision

• For safeguarding and to ensure every pupil can take part without distraction, children will remain under staff supervision and will be kept separate from spectators.
• Please do not cross the field to hand food/drink to pupils, to stand on the track or to comfort a child. If a pupil needs support, a member of staff will attend to them.

What to send with your child

• Please ensure your child brings a named water bottle and sun hat.
• Apply sun cream before school on sunny days.
• Children should come in their PE kit; they will be given their house-colour
T-shirt at school.

Weather
The weather forecast is set to be hot tomorrow, we ask that children come to school with their water bottles, sun cream applied and sunhats.

Photography

• You are welcome to take photos and short videos for personal keepsakes. Please do not share images of other children on social media.

SPORTS DAY UPDATE!

We have made the decision to postpone sports day today due to the field being very wet.
Instead it will take place next Friday.

Fingers crossed for sunnier week next week!

Sports betting has become increasingly visible online, appearing across apps, websites, social media, sports coverage and gaming spaces.

Even when young people are not legally old enough to gamble, they may still encounter betting messages through adverts, influencers, tipsters, friends or adult accounts.

Our latest guide highlights key risks, including:
• Easy online access
• Gambling becoming normalised around sport
• Peer and influencer pressure
• Free bet offers
• Impulsive spending and chasing losses

It also offers practical advice for parents, carers and educators on starting calm conversations, setting safer digital boundaries, spotting warning signs and finding support.

We are still hoping to go ahead with Sports Day on Friday (weather permitting)
