A big well done to our budding athletes from Years 4 and 5.  The children displayed a range of our school values and were a credit to Hillside, as they competed in extremely adverse weather conditions.  We had some winners who will now be going on to represent Hanley Town in the City finals. Congratulations!

The children have been caving this morning. Due to the weather, bouldering has been changed to Friday and instead, children are going into the climbing barn this afternoon. The weather may have dampened the fields but not the mood. Here are most of the class getting kitted up for climbing this afternoon.

After cookies, sweets and hot-chocolate, the children are all showered and in their pyjamas ready for their first night at Stanley Head.    

Here’s an action shot of some of the children doing team building activities. They’ve already matched a Stanley Head record for passing a cone to another team over a distance of 13 feet, without touching the floor! Super accomplishment and the children are loving their first day.

Y6 have arrived safe and sound at Stanley Head and are in high spirits. Bags have been unpacked and beds made. Children are getting ready for the first activity of the day: team building or rifle shooting.

Thank you to the children who volunteered their time to support Mrs Green at the Baddeley Green Water Station yesterday. They were absolutely brilliant helpers, who ensured water was readily available and they gave lots of encouragement too. Fantastic ambassadors for Hillside. Well done! Well done also to staff, parents and families who ran or walked […]

Year 3 took part in some exciting maths on Friday! They searched around the room for vertical, horizontal, parallel and perpendicular lines and took photos on the iPads. They then looked through some existing photos, identified the lines and used QR codes to check their answers.  

Reception have been up to the woods this morning to fill and hide our minibeast hotels before the wet weather comes. Next week we will hopefully return to find lots of creepy crawly guests!

A big well done to the children who were commended for their good work this week. These children were chosen because of their amazing attitude towards their work and are a credit to the school.
