Our first half-term has flown by, I do hope your child has had a wonderful time! The staff are flushed and happy back from their sponsored walk. It was the perfect time of year to step out and take a moment of staff reflection together under the paint box of autumn leaves.

Marvellous Mug Design!
Look at this incredible design by one of our very talented artists in Year 9, Kayleigh Leighton.
Your child may also have come home with a beautiful mug design to promote wellbeing. If you would like to order a mug with their design on it please see the link below:

Fabulous Fruit Paintings
In Art this half term, 7A have been looking at drawing skills and they’ve done a great job applying their understanding of creating tones using oil pastels.
A Big Thank You to Our Friends at Bredbury, Morrisons
They kindly donated a trolley full of pumpkins so that those children who had picked floristry for their reward activity could make a spectacular spooky creation!

Bag2School 11th November!
Why not take the opportunity over half-term to sort through your
cupboards and wardrobes and donate clothes, shoes (tied together
please), hats, belts, handbags and soft toys?
We have organised another clothes and shoe
collection with Bag2School, in order to raise
funds for school trips and residential visits.
The school will receive 40p for every kilogram
donated. Bag2School will be collecting from
CHHS on 11.11.24.
Bag2School collection bags have been handed
out this week. Please return to school from Thursday 7th November. If
you fill the donation bag and still have more, then you can use any
other bag to donate your items. Don’t forget to ask grandparents,
friends and neighbours to have a sort out as well!
Thank you in advance for your support with this fundraising project!
And Finally...
