• Comic Relief Red Nose Day - Friday 15th March

  Thu 29 Feb 2024

  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:

   

  • Fancy dress / non-uniform - Make a voluntary donation to come to school dressed in something red or something ‘funny’ to raise money for Comic Relief. This could be something as simple as a red T-shirt or socks, or something more adventurous like a fancy dress costume, pyjamas, a crazy hairstyle or even wearing clothes back to front!

   

  • As Comic Relief are trying to spread some joy, we will be holding a school joke competition. We are asking the children to come to school on Friday 15^th with their best joke. These will be shared with their classmates and the staff and children in each room will vote on which makes them laugh the most. The winner from each class will receive a small prize and each of the class winners’ jokes will then be judged by Mrs. Hill to find our South Hykeham funniest joke, with the winner receiving the overall prize.

   

  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 15^th March in the diary and prepare to have some fun!

   

• World Book Day 2024

  Wed 21 Feb 2024

   

  World Book Day will be celebrated on Thursday 7^th 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.
