In an effort to prepare for and participate in the annual Young Voices choir at the OVO Arena in Wembley, pupils in Years 4 to 6 were asked to participate in an audition which took place on Wednesday 8th October in school. Those who were interested had to prepare a solo of their choice to perform in front of the judges. Based on their performance and other factors, a group of children will be selected on Monday 13thOctober to participate in Young Voices this year. Well done to everyone who participated in the auditions.
On Thursday, 25th September 2025, our Year 6 pupils set off bright and early for an exciting day trip to Boulogne-Sur-Mer in France. Fourteen pupils, accompanied by staff, departed at 5:45am and returned safely at 9:10pm, tired but full of wonderful experiences.
During the trip, pupils explored a variety of cultural and historical sites. Highlights included a visit to Napoleon’s Column and Museum, a stop at Boulogne’s bustling fish market, and the fascinating Egyptian display in the town centre. They also had the opportunity to see the stunning Basilica of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.
The group enjoyed a traditional French lunch at a local restaurant and later observed kite surfing along the coast before beginning their return journey to the UK. This enriching trip gave pupils the chance to experience French culture first-hand, broaden their knowledge of history, and create lasting memories with their classmates.
On Friday 13th September 2025, the school was alive with excitement as pupils and staff came together to celebrate the much-loved author whose stories have inspired generations. Children arrived dressed as their favourite Roald Dahl characters – from Willy Wonka to the BFG – and the creativity on display was truly remarkable. A heartfelt thank you goes to all the parents, guardians and carers who supported with costumes and encouraged their children to take part. The day was filled with joy and served as a wonderful reminder of the power of stories to spark curiosity, imagination and a love of reading.
Over the last two weeks, the Reception children have enjoyed their independence as they eat on their own with their new friends, whilst coordinating their motor skills as they used knives and forks correctly. The children have enjoyed the variety of food served and of course, their favourite part of lunch was all the tasty desserts that were available!
We are delighted to welcome our Nursery and Reception children to Hewens Primary School! Their first week has been filled with excitement, exploration, and lots of smiles as they begin their learning journey. Throughout the week, pupils have been settling into their new environment, making friends, and getting to know their teachers. Activities have focused on helping children feel safe and confident, with plenty of opportunities for play, storytelling, creative tasks, and outdoor fun. We are incredibly proud of how well our youngest learners have adapted to their new routines. Thank you to all parents, guardians and carers for your support during this important transition.
We look forward to a wonderful year ahead, full of growth, discovery, and joyful learning!
We are delighted to welcome all our pupils back to school for the start of a new academic year. A new school year is always a time of fresh beginnings, new opportunities, and exciting challenges, and we look forward to working in partnership with you to make this year a successful one for your child.
On Friday 4th July 2025, we celebrated Culture Day – a vibrant and joyous occasion where our school community came together to honour and explore the rich tapestry of cultures that shape who we are. Pupils and staff proudly wore traditional clothing representing their heritage, filling the school with colour, meaningful conversations, and a real sense of celebration. Throughout the day, children engaged in a range of enriching activities, including storytelling sessions, cultural dances, and creative art projects inspired by countries from across the globe. It was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to learn more about one another’s backgrounds and to celebrate the diversity that makes our school so special.
We are thrilled to share that our Year 4 trip to the Science Museum was a great success! On Monday 30th June 2025, the Year 4 children were full of enthusiasm and curiousity, and they represented the school with excellent behaviour throughout the day. Highlights of the visit included exploring the Wonderlab, learning about space travel, seeing real-life scientific inventions and experimenting with forces and motion through hands-on activities. It was truly inspiring to see their faces light up as they made connections between what they’ve learnt in class and the amazing world of science all around them!
We’re thrilled to share that our Annual Summer Fair was a huge success! A big thank you to everyone who came along, joined in the fun, and helped make the day so special. The fair was packed with exciting activities and treats, the atmosphere was buzzing with laughter, creativity, and community spirit. Whether you were
bouncing, keyring making, snacking, or winning prizes, we hope you had as much fun as we did! Don’t forget – the winners of our raffle prizes will be announced on Monday 7th July. Stay tuned!
Thank you once again for your support – we can’t wait to do it all again next year!
