Children of the World – A Journey Through Christmas Traditions This year’s Key Stage 1 production, Children of the World, took us on a magical journey to discover how Christmas is celebrated across the globe. Guided by Gabriel and the angels, children from countries as far afield as China, Malawi, Poland, and Australia travelled to the manger to share their unique customs. Each group brought something special—songs, stories, and gifts creating a beautiful celebration of diversity and togetherness. Our Year 2 pupils shone brightly with wonderful singing, heartfelt solo performances, lively dancing, and confident acting. It was a joy to see their hard work come to life on stage. A huge thank you to the entire KS1 team for the incredible effort in preparing the children for this year’s Nativity. The performance was truly outstanding, and we couldn’t be prouder. At South Hill, we value every opportunity for our children to express themselves beyond the classroom. Events like these remind us how important it is to celebrate creativity and give pupils the chance to experience the joy of performing. “Watching the children bring this story to life was magical. They worked so hard and showed such confidence and joy. It is moments like these that make teaching so special.” — Mrs. Albery, KS1 Teacher Thank you to everyone involved, I can imagine a performance like this is not an easy task! All the children were fantastic and what a way to start the Christmas celebrations! Well done everyone! Thank you for the KS1 team's hard work to make this happen. It always makes me so emotional. Izzy singing on her own was so beautiful! Thank you to all the teachers for your hard work. Thank you to everyone for making this happen!! strong commitment and dedication! All the children were fantastic ! Well done 🩷❤️ Such an impressive production -massive well done to Mrs Masters and the team for all their hard work. Key Stage 1 Parent voice

As you can see there was lots of hard work to do, from moving old tyres and some old railway sleepers. But it was so worth it because the new raised growing beds for vegetables will enable the garden area to be re-used by the children and will really improve their Science knowledge and of course support their wellbeing and mental health. This project would not have been possible without the incredible help of our volunteers and Mrs Albery would personally like to thank the Harman Group for coming in and working so valiabtly and contributing to purchasing soil and some plants. Additionally, our fabulous PTA who also supported our school with funding and enabled our school to purchase the new bench and plant/ vegetable boxes. Garden Project Mental Health Awareness Week 13.5.24. This week is organised by the Mental Health Foundation. This year’s theme is ‘Movement: moving more for our mental health’. We all know movement is important for our mental wellbeing it boosts our mood and helps us look after our health. However, many of us may find it difficult to prioritise for a number of reasons. Lots of resources were shared with the staff at South Hill on how they can assist children with talking about their mental health and understanding their emotions. If you would like to find out more about supporting your mental wellbeing or tips to help support your child, please visit the Mental Health UK web page here. Our School Counsellor - Shahin

Forest School ‘Forest School’ is a Scandinavian concept where the learning is outdoor based. Many forest school activities evolve from the children’s interests, ideas, and the natural resources found in our grounds. The outdoor sessions promote confidence, self-esteem and independence. At South Hill, we are passionate about developing the whole child and in using our amazing grounds to enhance learning. Benefits of forest school sessions include increased confidence, improved behaviour, improved concentration, independence, and development of social, emotional and physical skills. Forest school is all about exploring and experiencing the natural world through practical activities. The children go outside in all weathers, exploring and learning from the seasons and environment changes. Natural resources stimulate creative thinking, problem solving and skill development, all in the guise of play. The children also learn to care for the environment and appreciate the seasonal changes, developing an empathy for wildlife. Most importantly, alongside the learning, the children have fun! We are delighted to be able to offer every child at South Hill the chance to participate in Forest School during the academic year. EYFS participate all year round, Years 5 and 6 Autumn term, Years 1 and 2 Spring term and Years 3 and 4 Summer term! Long Term Plan More Information Pupil Voice 'I like forest school because you get to do fun activities and Mrs Evans makes it even more fun every week with everything we do' Ellie Yr 5 'I enjoy learning outdoors and exploring the forest' Niamh Yr 6 'I enjoy forest school because I like to be outdoors and I like the atmosphere and the sound of the birds' Isabella Yr 6

The South Hill Way At South Hill, we follow 'The South Hill Way', which forms part of our behaviour policy (following the Steps therapeutic behaviour approach). The 'SHW' is an important part of this and promotes our school values, 'The 4 R's'. These are linked to 'British Values' and underpin what it means to be both a pupil and an adult at South Hill. Theo in Year 3 says, “The South Hill Way are our 4 main school rules. They keep everyone safe and mean everyone is the same.” Ada in Year 1 says, “The South Hill Way helps us know what to do and means everyone is happy.” We want every pupil and every adult to embrace and display these values so that everyone can learn and achieve at our school because 'it's the South Hill Way.'

Picture News At South Hill School, we utilise the Picture News of our PSHE lessons in Spring 1 and 2. In our first assembly of the week on a Monday morning, the pupils are introduced to the topic they will be following in 'Picture News' for their PSHE lessons. This week, we discovered that in 2025, pupils will be allowed to study British sign language as a GCSE. We thought about this key question; 'Should we learn sign language at school?' Sign Language in School Picture News for Parents So how can Picture News support our pupil’s understanding of PSHE? Picture News is a fantastic resource to help our school teach pupils about current affairs and what’s happening in the world by using real life learning. This facilitates them to develop respect for others whilst incorporating the technique of reflection. Furthermore, it allows pupils to learn about themselves and what interests them. This can then sparks their own imaginations, passions and what they want to change or act upon by voicing opinions and feelings about the topic. There are a number of related resources to facilitate this process such as; useful vocabulary, British Values, Protective Characteristics and on some occasions (if topic specific) the UN Convention of the Rights of the Pupils (UNCRC, 1989).
