Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Thank you very much for supporting Comic Relief Red Nose Day on Friday 15th March. Our school raised £177 and we are very grateful to Mrs Hazelwood for banking the donations on behalf of our school.
On Friday 15th March South Hykeham Community Primary School will join thousands of schools up and down the country coming together to spread joy, have fun and raise money for those who need it most. Because there’s nothing like Red Nose Day.
Let’s face it, we could all do with a bit of a laugh right now. So, let’s come together and do something amazing. Let’s make Red Nose Day the best day ever. Here’s what we’ve got planned for this year:
As well as taking the opportunity to be part of something positive, we’ll be using Red Nose Day as a learning opportunity. We’ll explore the issues facing young people across the world, and how the money we raise can help. However much or little we raise, we’ll be helping change lives in the UK and across the world.
So get Friday 15th March in the diary and prepare to have some fun!
World Book Day will be celebrated on Thursday 7th March 2024. Your child will be bringing home an invitation today to join us for ‘the hattiest party of all time.’ The invitation and hat request are all based on a popular children’s book which will be read with each class on World Book Day. Each class will then carry out a range of activities based on this, as well as having a class party where children will have free time to share their favourite book/ read a book they would like to bring in to school (please may all books be labelled with your child’s name).
There will be a class prize for the ‘fanciest hat’ so please feel free to get creative by making a hat, adding extras to a hat you already own, or by wearing a hat your child likes. On this day, children may come to school in their own clothes or dress up as their favourite book character.
If you have any questions, please speak to your child’s Class Teacher.
Thank you for supporting Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day on Wednesday 20th December. We are pleased to confirm that our school raised £115.00 for this charity and we are very grateful to Mrs Hazelwood for banking the donations for us.

On Friday 17th November, we will be dressing in spotty/Children In Need themed clothes/fancy dress/general non-uniform, for a donation of your choice towards Children In Need.
A reminder that our opening times have changed from September 2023. Children are collected by teachers from the playground at 8.50 a.m. and our official start to the day is now 8.55 a.m. rather than 9.00 a.m. In the afternoon, we finish at 3.25 p.m..
If your child is going to be absent from school or late arriving at school, please ring us before 9.00 a.m. to leave a message on our telephone answer machine to explain the absence. This ensures that the correct absence codes are noted on our class registers
Your children should bring home their Christmas Card design order forms today. I have extended the order window, so please place your orders online by WEDNESDAY 1ST NOVEMBER. Orders placed after this will incur a delivery charge and will not earn commission for school.
All orders will be delivered to school during the first week of December and will be sent home with your children.
Thank you for your continued support
Friends of the School
