On Thursday afternoon, our terrific team played their third football match against the St Ursula’s Junior school team. It was a nail biting first half with both teams demonstrating outstanding determination and commitment. Unfortunately, despite desperate defending, the St Ursula’s boys were able to hit the target on more occasions than our Hilldene heroes!
The next match will be played on the 10th of December. Everyone is welcome to support us.

Conductive Music Project

Enrico Bertelli and his team from Conductive Music CIC visited us last Wednesday for a morning of making music!  During this science/music session, the children warmed up using body percussion and progressed to rhythmic composition.  Then they each drew an instrument using graphite pencils to create a graphite-based circuit.  Once this drawing was connected to a MakeyMakey board and a PC, the children were able to play their picture/instrument!  Children from St Ursula's also joined us for a session.  We had a lot of fun!

Sports People of the Week

Each week outstanding performance, effort and achievement in P.E and sporting activities is identified by our qualified Sports Coaches and class teachers. Pupils who shine in lessons, clubs and activities outside of school are recognised and celebrated each week in our Friday celebration assembly. 

Well done to all the children for their fantastic sporting efforts last week!

Reception - Busy Bakers!

Last week Reception were very busy bakers!  We read 'Biscuit Bear' by Mini Grey and then designed and made our own biscuits.  We rolled the dough, used the bear cutter and decorated them with our 3D shape sweets.

The Importance of Arriving at School on Time

Some shocking facts!

Children in Need

Congratulations and huge thanks to generous pupils, parents and staff for raising a whopping £663 for Children in Need last Friday.


An action packed day of fund raising was enjoyed by all, dressed in their favourite hero costumes.  Scrumptious cakes were baked,  sold and devoured to raise money for this fantastic cause. 


Well done and thank you - you are all Hilldene Heroes!
