World Book Day World Book Day is held each year on the first Thursday in March. As a school we celebrated by sharing Poetry from Jospeh Coelho throughout the week, Learning MC Grammar's World Book Day song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpTkjssrL4k&ab_channel=MCGrammar%E2%80%93RapSongs%26MusicVideos and dressing up as our favourite book characters. Promoting Reading for Pleasure is a large part of our school's reading provision and children have created wish lists for books for us to purchase. ​

The Angel That Nearly Missed It All Despite their best efforts, one forgetful angel is always late! They oversleep, their maps blows away, they go to the wrong hillside, they gets cramp in their wings, and they terrify the donkeys. Will this Late Angel eventually make it to meet Mary and Joseph, and help the rest of the Angel Chorus celebrate the most important event of all? ​ A wonderful production by our key stage 1 pupils with lovely singing, dancing and acting. Thank you to all the KS1 team for the amazing job they have done on preparing Yrs 1&2 for this year’s Nativity. The children did an absolutely brilliant job. We feel fortunate to have a school which celebrates non-academic performances as highly as it feels like South Hill does and puts in huge amounts of effort to these endeavours, it is lovely they have the opportunity to work towards events such as these too.

International Day Each year at South Hill School, we celebrate 'International Day'. Each class chooses a country from around the world which is also representative of our South Hill communities. For that day, year groups represent and learn more about their chosen country and can wear traditional clothing from their celebrated country or colours of the flag. ​ Pupils learn about the geography of their chosen country and where to locate the country on a map, what continent the country is part of and what countries are nearby, we might learn about famous buildings and landmarks. For PE, we are lucky to have Don Rae Academy join us to teach traditional dances from each country. For MFL (Modern Foreign Language), some year groups learn a few key phrases and words. Some children even learn a song! Some year groups have a food tasting activity so children can get a sense of the traditional food and culture from their country of the day while other year groups make the traditional food themselves. ​ Throughout the day, some year groups listen to music of their country and think about whether it is similar or different to the music we might listen to at home. ​ Some year groups look at the religion and the history of their chosen country, focusing on some significant people from that country and how the country has possibly changed over time. ​ Countries from 2023 were: Reception- Bangladesh Year 1- Poland Year 2- India Year 3- Romania Year 4- Italy Year 5- Turkey Year 6- Brazil

Young Voices Young Voices offers children the amazing opportunity of singing with the worlds’ largest children’s choir. The whole experience is a journey and discovery, culminating in the most extraordinary performance opportunity there could possibly be. South Hill Choir have attended Young Voices in 2017,2019,2022,2023 and most recently 16th January 2024. This year the music included a Matilda Medley, a gospel medley, A Moana[Disney] medley as well as anthems and pop songs from a huge variety of genres. These offer the children opportunities to learn about other times and cultures, as well as musical styles. We even sang a beautiful Korean song called Arirang. The choir members worked extremely hard to learn all the lyrics and attended many extra rehearsals. All the hard work paid off with such an exceptional day on Tuesday 16th January. The day was long and exhausting but the children were utterly amazing. Their enthusiasm and energy bubbled over all day. Most of the songs had actions and dance moves so we were kept moving in the rehearsal as well as being introduced to the various artists who would be performing with us in the evening. As the lights went down for the concert to begin at 7pm the atmosphere was electric. Parents had arrived in the O2 and we could wave to them from a distance! The Urban Striders, Nandi Bushell, Natalie Williams and MCGrammar were sensational. The children found Nandi so inspiring as she is only 13 years old and a fantastic drummer-she blew us away with her talent! The pupils have been inspired to follow MCGrammar and especially enjoy watching him perform his World Book Day rap on Youtube! ​ Such an incredible evening to inspire and remember! Here are some of the choir members’ comments: ‘It was just the best time’ ‘I loved the Urban Strides Dancers- they all waved to us!’ My favourite song was ‘Rockstar’ ‘I loved the violinist performing with the Beatboxers’ ‘I loved the lights- I felt like a star!’

Educación Física Somos muy afortunados de tener un sitio verde tan maravilloso. Contamos con un extenso campo de juego que está delimitado como un campo de fútbol oficial de tamaño junior y un campo de rondas, así como una pista de atletismo en la temporada deportiva apropiada. La superficie dura se utiliza como cancha de netball para los entrenamientos durante todo el año y los partidos durante las temporadas de otoño y primavera. Todos los alumnos tienen la oportunidad de participar en una variedad de actividades durante sus lecciones del plan de estudios nacional y ofrecemos clubes adicionales fuera del horario escolar durante los tres períodos. La Escuela Primaria South Hill es una parte activa de la Red de Deportes Escolares de Dacorum y se beneficia enormemente de los recursos y la capacitación que se ofrecen a través de la asociación. Esto realza el deporte que se ofrece a todos nuestros alumnos. Las clases de natación para los alumnos de KS2 se organizan durante el año escolar. Estos se llevan a cabo en el Polideportivo Hemel con los monitores titulados del centro. La escuela primaria South Hill anima a sus alumnos a participar en el deporte. Creemos que fomenta el espíritu de equipo en una cultura de competencia sana. Calendario DSSN Otoño 2020 School Games Long Term Plan Subject Overview Active Lives Survey Community clubs We are extremely lucky to be close to so many great sporting clubs, who are willing and able to support our pupils and teachers. We have benefited from the coaching skills of Berkhamsted Hockey club, Leverstock Green tennis club, Bytomic Taekwondo, Christina Marks School of Performing Arts and Hertfordshire Cricket. The children have also been inspired by a visit from Victoria Ohuruogu - an English track athlete who won silver at the Commonwealth Games last year! We also book workshops for the children that support their physical and mental wellbeing. Challenge Sport Education have provided us with these a number of times and have been greatly enjoyed by the children. ​ Running track Our extensive school grounds, includes a running track which is used by every year group each day. The children are encouraged to run or walk around the 300-metre long track in their break times, but also as healthy active breaks during lesson time. Once a half term, our sports coach sets an extra challenge, where children compete against other classes to run or walk as many laps as possible in a week. We understand that active children are often happy children so Friday is Daily Mile Friday for family to join in too! The side gate opens at 8:20am each Friday for families to run with their children before school. ​ Orienteering course Our grounds has an orienteering course, which enables us to make some of our other lessons in the curriculum more active. Children can regularly be seen running happily from zone to zone to solve historical, geographical, mathematical and English facts. ​ Clubs We offer a range of clubs at our school.
