Message from the Head We very much hope parents had an enjoyable and relaxing time on the weekend of 27th - 29th January as a result of Year 6 Leadership Club’s preparations for Parent Mental Health Day. Members of the club have been busy this year, for example leading Children in Need activities at Hymers Hessle Mount and running stalls at the Michaelmas Fair; so it was no surprise to see the enthusiastic and determined way they approached this initiative. Hymers is very fortunate to have a wonderful, hugely supportive parent community and it was fantastic to see the Junior School children so keen to show their gratitude to their parents and to give something back. We hope you enjoy reading this first 2023 edition of the Junior Monthly Messenger. Mrs Rowland has made an excellent start as Head of Junior School Art since joining the team at the beginning of this term. Details about the children’s areas of study in Art can be seen on page 3, along with photographs of some of the impressive artwork they have produced. Peter Doyle, Head of Junior School
Parent Mental Health Day On Friday 27th January, the Junior School took part in Parent Mental Health Day! Our wonderful Year 6 Leadership Club set up stands with vouchers for free hugs, scented candles, biscuits, tea and popcorn for a movie night as well as much more for our students to take home for their parents. A huge thank you to the Leadership Club for organising this and we hope all of our parents had a lovely and relaxing weekend!
