Visyon at Alsager Highfields, by Mrs Muddy
Date: 23rd Nov 2022 @ 5:05pm
Visyon are coming into Alsager Highfields Primary school again next week to deliver some workshops face to face. This is brilliant news as often our families have to travel to Sandbach, Crewe or Congleton for support sessions. If you would like to book onto any of the sessions, please confirm your attendance with the email address on the leaflets to secure your space. Cake, tea and coffee will be provided along with a fun Christmas Craft club for your children to attend free of charge. We would love to see you there, if we support these sessions locally then we will be able to access more local, face to face support.

PCSO visit, by Mrs Muddy
Date: 22nd Nov 2022 @ 6:53pm
Oli, our PCSO for Alsager, visited school today for lots of reasons but most importantly to meet the children so that they know his face and feel able to talk to him if they see him out and about. The role of the police is to keep us safe and to protect us and Oli talked to the children about this yesterday. He was made very welcome and has promised to come back and see us again.

School Council, by Mrs Muddy
Date: 22nd Nov 2022 @ 6:27pm
Yesterday our School Council met with PCSO Oli to discuss our school, Alsager and the wider world. They asked him lots of questions about his role, shared ideas to improve the policing in Alsager and listened brilliantly. Some of the ideas they shared included; more police walking around Alsager especially at the weekends when children are out and about, support with trolleys that seem to appear around Alsager abandoned, more police dogs as they would love to see police dogs in Alsager and more parking support for dangerous parking. Oli agreed to take the ideas back to his team at Congleton and to feed back to our council next term. We were really proud of the questions and ideas our children shared, they are always thoughtful and listen well.

Design Technology Across the Schools, by Mrs Muddy
Date: 17th Nov 2022 @ 9:16am
Over the last few weeks, children from Alsager Highfields Primary have been involved in a design technology workshop after school with Mr W Potts at Alsager School. They have been designing and making bird boxes and wind chimes. The children have thoroughly enjoyed it, their attitude has been fantastic and I’m sure you will agree, the finished products are superb. Well done to all involved and a great example of how schools across the Trust working together.

PSHE - Family discussion, by Mrs Muddy
Date: 11th Nov 2022 @ 9:24pm
Today in PSHE our children in year 3 discussed and explored different kinds of families with Mrs Henshall. There were some great discussions and the children all showed kindness, thoughtfulness and curiosity. We watched the Disney 2021 Christmas advert where a step family come together and then the Disney 2022 one which shows a year later and a new family addition. We also watched the John Lewis advert where a family are welcoming a new foster child into their lives. The children agreed that all families are different and that as long as we care for each other it doesn’t matter what they look like

School Council Meeting, by Mrs Muddy
Date: 14th Oct 2022 @ 8:31pm
Today our School Council representatives met with Mrs Henshall. They discussed the charities that are important to them and the children in their classes. We will be voting to agree which charities we would like to support this year, it was really lovely to hear of so many charities that our children are aware of and are keen to suport. Some of them included Cancer Research, Dog Trust, Alsager Foodbank, Children's hospitals, Donna Louise, Sponsor a child and Cheshire Downs Syndrome. We are always so proud of how thoughtful and caring the children are at Alsager Highfields, considering their immediate community and beyond. The children have already begun to speak to their classes to ask for suggestions for improvements for our school and they have lots of ideas that they are writing to Mrs Woollam about. We will share our exciting developments with you as we confirm our plans.
Kindness, by Mrs Muddy
Date: 10th Oct 2022 @ 7:54pm
Last week Jonny, the youth worker from Wesley Place came into school and delivered an assembly on kindness and looking after our neighbours. This tied in really well with our upcoming Harvest Celebrations. As always the children listened brilliantly and were able to share lots of ways that they look after each other at home and at school.
