Healey Foundation Primary School

Date published: 13 February 2013


Healey has now closed for the half term break and will reopen on Monday 25 February. Dinner money for the half term is £44.40.

On the first Monday back (25th) Year 6 have been invited to take a tour of Rochdale Town Hall, the children will be walking down to the centre of town to meet the tour guides. This trip is taking place during the morning and the children will be back in time for lunch as normal.

Year 5 are then taking part in the same tour on Wednesday (27th) and again will be walking down to the town centre. Rochdale Town Hall is considered to be a masterpiece of architecture and one of the finest Town Halls in England so we are very lucky to have been able to take up this opportunity.

THE BIG PEDAL is back! The 2013 three week round Britain Tour starts again on the Thursday after the half term holiday. Healey has always done well with this challenge, children and parents are encouraged to walk, scoot or roller skate to school to pick up ‘points’, the points are then uploaded onto the Big Pedal website and we join in the league with schools across the UK. More information will be sent out after the holiday, but the half term break will be a good opportunity to blow the dust off bicycle clips and start oiling the wheels – let’s make it a championship year! Last Year Healey came 15th out of hundreds of north west schools and first locally.

Well done to the children who were presented with the Achievement Cup last Friday:

Reception Sid Burke
Year 1 Ben Priestley
Year 2 Kayne Byrne
Year 3 Sufyan Mohammed
Year 4 Abigail Ashurst
Year 5 Samer Qureshi
Year 6 Shauna Atherton

Attendance was slightly down but Year 4 were champions for the second week running. Well done.

Have a relaxing half term break.
