We have arrived safely! Yay! Smiles and laughter all around and loving the space and freedom.
However....they will have to make their own beds tonight...

Today we had a visit from Felixstowe Coast Patrol. We learnt how to stay safe in the water. We really enjoyed learning about what Miss Worley’s volunteering work and couldn’t believe she has two jobs! We have lots of budding lifeboat enthusiasts.
Mark King and David Harrison from The Oliver King Foundation have visited Handford Hall this morning. We now have our own lifesaving defibrillator in school.
Thank you to Halifax colleagues for joining this morning's training.

Our Year 2 pupils were getting ready for their trip to the Hindu Temple in Ipswich yesterday. Nothing was going to stop them (rain, rain, go away...) 😀
Wow - Handford Hall pupils loved the Street Theatre performance. They learnt about the purpose and features of a street theatre and enjoyed being an active audience!👏

we had lots of fun talking about story openings and then chose a book. We can’t wait to start reading it!
Amazing ART in 6P - using close observation and a range of combined medium to experiment with shape, line, form, texture, colour and space. We love UNITY ART curriculum! 👏

Our special visitor at today's End of Term Celebration Assembly - Mr Jon Trotter (HH previous headteacher and governor). Thank you for joining us and for opening our library named in your honour.👏😊📚
Message from Kingswood team:
A golden evening and sleep-filled night. Boys had lights out before curfew. Fencing, buggy building, a light lunch and then home, back to Handford Hall.
Our Year 3 and Year 5 pupils have been chosen to take part in Hullabaloo!, a celebration of schools and creativity at the Jerwood DanceHouse on Thursday 9th June. Soooooooo - today is the day!👏👏👏
Thank you to our governors for visiting our school today. We loved our joint learning walk as well as discussions regarding the importance of pupils' wellbeing at Handford Hall! 😊
Morning from our year 6 residential! Two shocking things we have learnt: 1) some of the boys need to learn to take less than 3 hours to shower. 2) all children in bed asleep by 10.35. Further surprises to be reported as they happen...
5W have really enjoyed their singing this afternoon with
@BrittenPears
soo much fun. We can’t wait for some of you to join GroupA. Year 4,5 and 6 have all received information about this free vocal performance initiative in Ipswich.
Thursday morning at Kingswood (Year 6 residential). Miracles do happen - all children slept through the night but.... Mr Harraway was awake!
All is well - breakfast at 7.10 and another day of adventures starts!
We have just received a fantastic feedback about our Year 1 pupils and their visit to Christchurch Mansion. Their Behaviour for Learning was exemplary. Well done!😊👏
The Hullabaloo22 Schools Celebrations are a wonderful way for Ipswich schools to come together and perform at the world-class Jerwood DanceHouse and give Handford Hall pupils the platform to celebrate their identity and creativity through dance and the performing arts!😊👏
Internet Safety assembly this morning - fantastic discussions facilitated by Mr Harraway. Our children clearly know how to keep themselves safe online.
Yesterday was RE day. In Year 4 the religion we looked at was Hinduism. Our big question was How does the story of Rama and Sita inspire Hindus. We enjoyed learning a Diwali dance and performed a wedding.
The staff at the Waterstones said that they would tweet the photo of the display (which will stay up until next Monday). Look out for Handford Hall!
A thoroughly wonderful morning 🙂
