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

Artsmark Gold Award 'You clearly value the Arts and recognise their contribution to your mission statement of 'Building Character, Learning Together' at South Hill Primary School. You have used your Artsmark journey to develop children's understanding of arts and artists from a wider variety of different cultural heritages, so that cultural diversity is being promoted through your arts curriculum and your annual International Day. Music is a growing strength within your overall arts offer with lessons provided by a specialist music teacher. Your partnership with Hertfordshire Music Service is providing opportunities for children in Key Stage 2 to participate in instrumental tuition, including ukulele and Djembe drumming. Pupils can also participate in Choir extra-curricular club and have opportunities to showcase and celebrate their musical achievements locally and at national events, such as at Young Voices. Astutely, you have capitalised on the skills and expertise of various school stakeholders, including a parent who is an animator. This opportunity, along with the chance for children to see a range of artists and makers at work at the Dacorum Arts Centre, has enabled pupils to develop an understanding of carer pathways and job opportunities in the Arts. Teachers' confidence has increased as a result of their training from local secondary colleagues in drawing, watercolour and collagraph printing. Congratulations on completing your Artsmark journey. We are delighted to inform you that your setting has been awarded an Artsmark Gold Award! Award. Congratulations! ' Artsmark Arts Council England

Beşeri Bilimler ve Dış Öğrenme Geography Vision To develop pupils’ geographical skills, knowledge and enquiry and for pupils' to understand the similarities and differences between localities, both locally and in the wider world, and the affect this has on the humans that live there. South Hill İlköğretim Okulu'nda, geçmişe yolculuk yapmayı veya çevremizdeki dünyayı keşfetmeyi seviyoruz. İşte yaptığımız heyecan verici şeylerden birkaçı: 1/7 Our Curriculum We have tailored our Geography curriculum, in some areas, to reflect our locality and local community so that our pupils have a real sense of the geography of our town, Hemel Hempstead. For example: In EYFS, we focus on the building blocks to our Geography by beginning to study the natural world around us, including our local area In Year 1, we compare our town to a local village and study the similarities and differences In Year 2, we compare our town to a coastal town and study the similarities and differences In Year 3, we compare our town (which was traditionally a waterway) to Venice In Year 4, we study Hemel Hempstead through local environmental issues and think about the impact we can have In Year 5, we focus on fieldwork to collect information and map the land use of our town In Year 6, we continue our fieldwork and local area study by looking at Ordnance survey maps Long Term Plan Subject Overview Examples of knowledge organisers EYFS Year 4 Year 2 Year 6 Trips, hooks and theme days Our Geography curriculum is enriched by a number of school trips, theme days and assemblies and these provide excellent opportunities to bring our geographical learning to life. Examples are: EYFS: Local walk, including an introduction to maps Year 2: Local walk to think about what we like and dislike about our town and how we could improve it Year 3: Visit from ‘One Day Creative’ to study Volcanoes Year 4: Local walk to think about local environmental issues and how we can impact these Year 5: Local walk to study our local river, ‘The River Gade’ Year 6: Local walk to use Ordnance survey maps and to collect data and information about our town International Day (please see the ‘International Day’ section of our website Each year at South Hill School, we celebrate 'International Day'. Each class chooses a country from around the world which is also representative of our South Hill communities. For that day, year groups represent and learn more about their chosen country and can wear clothes from their celebrated country or colours of the flag. Puplis learn about the geography of their chosen country and where to locate the country on a map, what continent the country is part of and what countries are nearby, we might learn about famous buildings and landmarks. Pupil Voice I like geography because we look at maps and we have used the globe to find where we live. It was fun - Ciel Year 1 I liked the walk around our local area to look at where we live - Helena Year 1 I like geography because we learn about the different countries around the world, we learnt about Barbados - Enal Year 2 I like learning about where I live and how I can keep looking after my local area. I enjoyed comparing Hemel Hempstead to a village near to where I live - Freddie Year 5

Computing Computing vision For pupils to be equipped to navigate a digital world and to understand how to protect themselves online. To develop pupils confidence and capability in IT and programming to prepare them for a rapidly changing technological world. At South Hill, we understand the importance of technology in a rapidly changing society. As it has always been, the children of today will develop and use the technologies of tomorrow. Therefore, we need to foster their basic knowledge and understanding of the technologies that they use today. The computing curriculum is divided into 3 key concepts; Digital Literacy (DL), Information Technology (IT) and Computer Science (CS) DL Digital literacy is about the safe and responsible use of technology, including recognising its advantages for collaboration or communication. CS Computer science will introduce children of all ages to understanding how computers and networks work. It will also give all children the opportunity to learn basic computer programming, from simple floor robots in EYs, Years 1 and 2, right up to creating on-screen computer games and programmes by Year 6. IT Information technology is about the use of computers for functional purposes, such as collecting and presenting information, or using search technology. GOLDEN THREADS As part of our Computing curriculum, we have carefully mapped out 5 'Golden Threads' which allow us to build on previous knowledge and to make links between what we have already learnt and what we are learning now and in the future: Intent At South Hill Primary, we use the NCCE – Teach Computing and Project Evolve units to deliver the three concepts area of the computing curriculum. We intend that children should master Computing to such an extent that they can go on to have careers and make use of Computing effectively in their everyday lives, without being completely reliant on technology. They are also taught to use technology responsibly and carefully, being mindful of how their behaviour, words and actions can affect others. Our pupils will be taught Computing in a way that ensures progression of skills and allows opportunities to revisit these skills year on year. Teachers are also aware of the importance of making small adaptations where necessary to support all learners and how technology can be used to support and enhance a range of subjects whilst allowing pupils to apply their skills. Implementation In our teaching of Computing, we endeavour to expose students to a variety of software, programs, and equipment in order to offer a range of appropriate challenges and experiences. Specific vocabulary for each year group is outlined in medium term plans and this is regularly modelled by teachers within their lessons. Spaced repetition and chunking within the curriculum allows pupils to develop their recall of embedded knowledge and ensures that each year group works on core aspects of the three Computing strands. Sessions are adapted to meet the requirements of a specific cohort and lesson content is frequently reviewed by class teachers and the subject lead. Our schemes of work remain flexible and children share their thoughts on their ‘computing learning journeys’ to help enable sessions to be adapted to their interests and needs. In the Early Years, children have access to iPads, the Code and Go Mouse and recordable books. They also work with their ‘Year 6 Buddies’, who guide their curiosity by modelling how to use the equipment carefully and safely. In the summer term, children spend time in the computing hub to help familiarise them with a desktop setup and ease their transition into KS1. Impact The lasting impact of this curriculum ensures that when children leave South Hill Primary School, they are competent and safe users of ICT with an understanding of how technology works. They will have developed skills to express themselves and be creative in using digital media and be equipped to apply their skills in computing to different challenges going forward whilst using technology safety. We measure the impact of our curriculum using the following methods: · Termly teacher assessments. · Images of the children’s practical learning in a year group portfolio · Children’s work saved onto their individual accounts · Interviewing the pupils about their learning (pupil voice). · Year group portfolios are scrutinised and there is the opportunity for a dialogue between teachers to understand their class’s work. Children in EYFS are assessed within Understand the World and their progress is tracked termly using Tapestry. Each class is allocated a weekly time slot to use the ‘Computing Hub’ which houses 30 computers and laptops. In addition to this, classes have access to a set of Chromebooks, 30 iPads and a further set of 15 laptops, which can be used to support the teaching and learning of other subjects. Classes are also provided with digital projectors, interactive whiteboards and visualisers to support and teaching across the curriculum. DL Digital literacy is about the safe and responsible use of technology, including recognising its advantages for collaboration or communication. IT Information technology is about the use of computers for functional purposes, such as collecting and presenting information, or using search technology. CS Computer science will introduce children of all ages to understanding how computers and networks work.
