Heathfields Weekly Update - 21st November 2025

{item_alt_tag}

Dear Parents and Carers,

It has been a lovely week. We have seen some tremendous work being produced in classes and have enjoyed visitors from the Fire Service.

Educational visit

As you are aware, we have booked a visit to watch the production of Jack and the Beanstalk at Tamworth assembly rooms.

To help the children enjoy the live performance further, we will be studying the book Jack and the beanstalk asa whole school just before we break up for Christmas.

We would like to encourage all children to watch the performance. If you have not secured your place, could you please do this on Arbor

Thank you to everyone who attended the parent/carer workshop last week!
It was wonderful to see you all there and sharing ideas together.

Our next parent/carer workshop will be on Tuesday, January 7th.
We’ll be exploring Emotion Coaching—a practical approach to help children understand and manage their feelings.

We hope you can join us!
