Hansel and Gretel - the Nut Free Panto!
Our amazing HPSA Daisies performed their amazing pantomime not once, not twice, not three times, but four times on Thursday to a packed out hall of children and then adults! Lots of singing, dancing, acting, fairies, trees and even some Barbies appeared throughout the show to entertain the watching audience. Huge thank you must go to all of the amazing cast and crew for their time, dedication, energy and amazing acting skills! We can't wait for next year already!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! The Christmas Fare was an absolute hit on Friday 1st December! We had the cold weather so wrapped up as warm as possible to enjoy the huge array of exciting things on offer. Food and drink, games, bouncy castles, HPSA merch, tombolas, hampers, exciting stalls and, of course, a visit to Santa's Grotto ensured that everyone had a fabulous time last Friday.
Huge thank you to Anna Morris and her amazing HPSA team. The money raised will be going towards an interactive outside games board, as requested by the school council on behalf of all of the children. 

On Thursday, as is Hazelwood tradition, the choir entertained the crowd gathered around the Christmas tree at the Palmers Green triangle as we officially welcomed in the start of the Christmas period.
The children sang lots of songs, with plenty of actions, for families to listen to and sing along with. It was a wonderful festive atmosphere which finished with the turning on of the Christmas lights.

It was amazing to see so many children take part in the Class Act auditions for a chance to make the grand final at the Milfield Theatre in January. 

Congratulations to everyone who took part! 

On Thursday 12^th and Friday 13^th October, our Year 5 children headed off to Gilwell Scout Camp for a couple of days of outdoor learning. They really enjoyed sharing rooms with their friends and taking part in exciting activities such as crate stacking, bouldering, zip wire, pedal go-carts and wobbly pole. 

The children spent time playing outdoor games and exploring the woods, identifying trees and looking for hidden secrets. Some even created their own woodland person from the natural materials they found. Some children were a little nervous about taking part, but everyone challenged themselves to overcome their fears, showing our values of resilience and courage as well as fantastic teamwork and responsibility. Despite a little rain, the children had a fantastic time and enjoyed taking part in activities they may not have tried before.

The children across the school voted for their House Captains and School Council representatives on Tuesday 19th September. The real election booths were borrowed from Enfield Council so that the children could experience what it is like to vote. A real show of democracy in action!
