• May Day is Holtspur Day .. the Day our School began!

  Fri 01 May 2020

  1st May 1951, the day the first children entered the doors of Holtspur's brand new school. We celebrate in school with the Holtspur School Song, here are the words that recognise both past and present pupils. 

   

  The Holtspur Song

  May Day is Holtspur Day the day our school began.

  We'll strive at work

  We'll strive at play

  We'll do the best we can.

  To keep its name for ever proud

  Shall always be our aim

  And Holtspur children shall sing loud

  Its praises to acclaim.

  Sing high, sing loud 

  For Holtspur School

   

  Some leave and others come

  But still the school goes on.

  Each leaves his mark

  Though deeper some 

  We'll miss them when they're gone.

  We'll strive to follow where they led

  The trail which they have blazed

  And for our school like those ahead

  Our voices shall be raised 

  Sing high, sing loud

  For Holtspur School!

  We have a new School Games challenge for pupils, parents and staff .. 

   

  Last week many of you rose to the challenge but WE NEED MORE of you. Can you help us celebrate Captain Tom's 100th Birthday? He raised an incredible sum of money for the NHS by being active and completing 100 laps of his garden. Tomorrow he turns 100 🎁🎈 and we want to help him celebrate with our own version.

   

  When: Thursday 30th April (anytime)

  What: 100 reps

  How: You can choose any activity using any or no equipment and complete it 100 times.

  Ideas: 100 skips, 100 keepy uppies, 100 laps of your garden or up and down the stairs, 100 arm raises, 100 grip and drops, 100 squats, 100 high knees, 100 hops... Be as creative as you like! This is one that EVERYONE can join in on.

• New School Challenge at Home ...

  Fri 24 Apr 2020

  We are going to start a new school challenge! During your daily exercise session, please track how far you run, walk, scoot or cycle so that we can create a whole school weekly total! 

   

  To submit your results there are two options. 

  1. Keep a record of your kilometres and submit your weekly total, that includes all your children's distances, to office@holtspurschool.co.uk by 2pm every Friday. To record your daily activity you can use a Smartwatch or Smartphone.
  2. Download the 'Strava' app and add the Holtspur School account. When you save your activity please put the number of children who took part so I can calculate your total.  

  Every Friday, I will then add all our totals together and announce how far we have travelled as a school. 

   

  Best wishes and enjoying keeping active, 

   

  Miss Noble

   

  Update: Thank you to those who have joined the ‘Holtspur School’ Strava Club. It is great to see how you are all keeping active during this time! Please can you only post activities you complete with your children so we can accurately record how far the children have travelled in our weekly totals and leaderboards.
