HOB 10th Birthday Celebrations
Wednesday 24th February 2016
On Wednesday 24nd February we all enjoyed a whole school celebration for our very
special 10th Birthday. This newsletter aims to share some of the highlights of our day.
We started the day with a whole school assembly where we sang Happy Birthday to the school and tried to
squeeze everyone in to a Birthday photo! Our youngest school pupil (Keira) and our oldest pupil (Kyle)
helped to cut the birthday cake and then everyone had a piece to celebrate our special day. Our nursery
boys and girls wore party clothes and played lots of party games before enjoying some birthday cake and
singing together.

House Challenge from the Rights
Respecting School Committee Article for the day: Article 29
Your education should help you use and
