Mount Hawke Academy News Head of School: Miss C Biddick 7.5.21 Dear Families We’ve taken another step back to normal this week, with two teams heading off for football matches. Our boys played away to Ludgvan on Wednesday and our girls played away to Archbishop Benson yesterday. Both teams were super ambassadors for our school, showing great teamwork, determination and sporting attitudes, and both are through to their next rounds. Well done! And it’s not just our children who are learning…over the last couple of weeks, our teachers and teaching assistants have taken part in some year group maths training with Aspire, as we continue our focus on providing the best and most up-to-date education that we can. We have learned more about the priority areas for maths teaching over this year and the coming year. Do remember that all our information about our curriculum can be found on our school website: MHA Curriculum Celebrations We held our Friday Virtual Assembly today and it was lovely to share the news from each class with everyone, and enjoy that wonderful family feeling. Even though we still can’t see each other in real life, getting the whole school together in Teams helps us feel so connected.
