• A Fond Farewell to Mrs Minall

  On the last day of the Spring Term 2021 we said a very fond farewell to our wonderful Admin Officer Mrs Beverly Minall. Not only has Bev worked at Sun Hill Infant School for 26 years but she has also made our lovely school a very special place for all past and present children! She is always smiling, happy and gets to know every child in our school personally. Bev will be sorely missed by us all as she starts her well deserved retirement.

• World Book Day

  Sat 07 Mar 2020
  To celebrate World Book Day this year, the whole school joined together to share the e-text 'Fairer Tales'. This text was selected so that we could begin to explore gender stereotyping in an age appropriate way. Through the arts, the children thought about their dreams for the future and how they can aim to be whoever they want to be, no matter if they are a boy or a girl. To find out more about this fantastic day, please visit the 'School Video' tab where you will find a video under 'School Events'.

• Odd Socks!

  Thu 14 Nov 2019
  This week is National Anti-bullying week. The children have been thinking about this theme in their classrooms during the week and enjoyed participating in odd socks day on Tuesday. We will also be celebrating friendship on 'Friendship Friday' as we think about ways in which we can be good friends to one another and inclusive, regardless of our differences.

  

• Artsmark Gold

  Thu 18 Jul 2019

  We just wanted to share with you that last week Artsmark awarded Sun Hill Infant School a Gold Award for our Arts provision. This means that we have maintained our ‘Gold’ status for over 15 years.

   

  Over the past two and a half years many of you will be aware that we have been developing our Arts provision to ensure the very best experiences for our pupils. Some of our successes have been:

  • Our 50^th Birthday celebrations which included a sunflower art gallery, a wheeled procession, our golden gates and arts performances.
  • The formation of an Arts Council made up from Key Stage One children.
  • Working in partnership with the local pre-schools, with Year One and Year Two at Cheriton Primary and with the Junior School.
  • The creation of poppy tie dye pennants and our Remembrance garden and commemoration ceremony.
  • Our plastic bottle top artwork.
  • Our recent Save the Oceans musical concert.
  • Three fantastic world book days where children had the opportunity to follow their own lines of enquiry.
  • Providing on going staff professional development by working alongside other arts professionals.
  • Development of our art, drama, music and dance curriculum and wider opportunities.

   

  We are incredibly proud of our commitment to ‘The Arts’ and we believe this makes us unique as a school. With a reduced budget and less staff, we will still strive to place ‘The Arts’ at the centre of the curriculum to ensure our children have the very best creative and imaginative experiences.

   

  We would like to say a huge thank you to all staff, governors, parents and children who have helped along this Artsmark journey; we would not have achieved ‘Gold’ without all your commitment, hard work and effort. We would especially like to thank the amazing children in Arts Council who have worked with Miss Riley this year to ensure all children have a voice in their arts provision.
