  • Hazelwood's Got Talent 2023

    Published 29/05/23

    The sun was shining and the talent was all around as we had a huge turnout of children, parents and carers for our amazing Hazelwood's Got Talent Final 2023! The 9 finalists, all who had made their way through from the class rounds to the semi-finals in their houses and then onto the big stage for the final, all performed brilliantly, with real confidence, bravery and showing off their talent. Cheered on by the huge crowd, who had been able to buy lots of yummy cake, candy floss and popcorn thanks for generous donations from parents and HPSA, the finalists performed in front of our four judges: Sidrah, our Chair of Governors; Steve, our former HPSA chair and ever-present member; Martin, from our friends at Anthony Webb Estate Agents; and our very own Mrs Pearson! 

    Winners were chosen from each category (Year 1 & 2, Year 3 & 4, Year 5 & 6) but, in truth, everyone was a winner on this fabulous occasion. 

    Huge thanks to Miss Bispham and Miss Hammond for supporting the acts to get to the stage, Steve Rawlinson for technical support and Miss Powell for organising and hosting the final!

  • Art Exhibition Year 2 & 4

    Published 25/05/23

    Over the past half term, Year 2 and Year 4 have been learning about Working in 3D in Art.
    Year 2 have been working on 3D stick transformations whereby they have taken natural objects and imaginatively transformed them into tree houses. They took inspiration from the work of Artist Chris Kenny then planned, designed and created their own 3D sculptures.
    Year 4 have been looking at the art of sculpture, particularly focusing on the presentation of a piece and how it can define the meaning of an artwork. They looked at the work of artists such as Antony Gormley and Yinka Shonibare for inspiration. They learnt about artworks exhibited on a plinth and then planned, designed and created their own 3D sculptures on a plinth.
    The whole school visited the art exhibition and were very excited to see the work of the Year 2 and Year 4 artists.
    The artwork is all absolutely amazing! We have very talented artists here at Hazelwood!

  • Coronation celebrations

    Published 08/05/23

    On Friday 5th May the whole school came together to celebrate the Coronation of His Majesty, King Charles III. Despite the occasional downpour, the royal trooper, Miss Powell, spent the entire day supporting every child in the school to paint a section of our coronation garden wall in the Union Flag colours. Thanks to Naomi, we now have a garden fit for a king, including delphinium's (the King's favourite), various bedding plants in red, white and blue and a Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy' tree, planted by school council to grow during the King's reign. 

    Throughout the day, the children learned about the King and what happens during a coronation, as well as decorating commemorative plates to take home. The lunch hall was decorated specially for the day and the children came dressed in red, white and blue to top off a fabulous celebration!
