A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated cakes of all shapes and sizes for the cake and bun sale on Friday 16th February. The children’s cancer ward at Birmingham Children’s Hospital will be delighted to receive an amazing £450 from the families of Lickey Hills Primary School and Nursery. Oliver and the Portman family pass on their grateful thanks to everyone involved. With special thanks to Mrs Barros D’Sa and Mrs Boeckx for their super organisation and effort. 

Entrants need to write an original story on any subject or theme in 500 Words or fewer. If they win, their story will be read live on the radio by a superstar celebrity…like Julie Walters, Tom Hiddleston, Sir Kenneth Branagh, Jeremy Irons, or Sherlock himself – Benedict Cumberbatch. Each year, 10 million Radio 2 listeners hear, read and love these stories. Alongside the main competition, we will also be running an internal competition at school to celebrate the entries from our children. The top 3, as judged by the staff, will receive a prize at school. However, I cannot promise celebrities like the main competition! The deadline for the entries to be submitted is the 22nd February, which is on the Thursday of half-term. Submissions must be electronic. Mr Brewer has set up a school submission account so he can submit the entries for the children in addition to them having time in half-term to produce their piece. When the writing is finished and word processed, please email the document to 500words@lickeyhills.worcs.sch.uk. 

Thank you to 6MT and 4LH for getting everyone off to a super start this term with their class assemblies. 6MT shared their Macbeth mash up sharing their acting skills and 4LH took us back in time to the Roman invasion of Britannia. We look forward to 3LE and 5SR coming soon.

We ho-ho-hope you all have a very Happy Christmas holiday.
With best wishes for the festive season,
Miss Salisbury, Staff and Governors at LHPSN

The school will be open on Wednesday 13th December.Please see emails on your parent view app for further details of start time options.

School Closure – Tuesday 12th December. Following consultation with staff and governors about further freezing temperatures overnight, and compacted ice on pavements and busy roads where parents park, we will remain closed tomorrow for the safety of all our pupils, families and staff.

Edited highlights are now posted on the Year 2 page so please take a look and enjoy the clips from the show. Photographs will follow shortly. Well done everyone, a super team effort of narration, singing, dancing, percussion and acting to bring a lovely story of kindness and friendship to life. 

LHPSN will be closed on Monday 11th December due to adverse weather conditions. The forecast of freezing conditions during the night and early morning make the site unsafe for cars and our pupils.

Unfortunately, school is closed today due to the weather conditions on both sides of the hill. 

Who did Nursery find at Umberslade farm yesterday?

Nursery had a wonderful time at the farm . Everyone met Santa whispered their Christmas wishes to him which was very exciting. During the day everyone was able to see and feed the different farm animals and their babies. The behaviour of the children was excellent and I know the farm staff were delighted to welcome you all.
