As part of our Digital Storytelling lesson P2 had to go on a hunt around the school to find symbols. We made a list of all the symbols we found. We then took photos of the symbols.
When we came back to class we had a discussion about how we had to hold the iPad really still and let the camera focus before pressing the button. Some of us were able to do this and the photos looked amazing!
We were very fortunate to have Laurence form Hope Community Church to lead our assembly today. He spoke about the importance of having a positive mindset, facing our fears and having confidence in ourselves. We really enjoyed his singing!
We compared different containers to see which held more, less and the most.
We also estimated, then measured how many cups it would take to fill different containers.
No one got too wet!
April was an exciting month in P3F! We celebrated Mathletics achievements, birthdays and monthly certificate winners. We engaged in problem solving activities and explored capacity. Thanks to Irwin’s Bakery, we enjoyed a bread tasting session and discussed texture and taste. In ICT, we found out about online safety and that the information we put online leaves a digital footprint.
Well done to Cherry, our Healthy Kidz Star.🏃♂️⭐️
Kayden received 2 more Mathletics Certificates. 👏👏👏👏
We were very fortunate to have the Reverend Orr come to speak to us again today in assembly. He has reached ‘E’ in the alphabet of messages and today he spoke about Earth and Eyes.
He told us the story of Jesus healing a blind man using mud and saliva.
We sang ‘Our God is so big’.
On Wednesday 1st May, Hart Memorial PS and Presentation PS showcased the work they have completed throughout the academic year in Shared Education through an event held in the Millennium Court in Portadown. Parents, children, governors and Principals from both schools came to this wonderful event. A lovely sense of community was felt throughout the day.
Displays of the work children have completed this academic year from P1 to P7 were on show. Hart Memorial PS and Presentation PS have been taking part in Shared Education lessons for over 25 years and bonds are as strong as ever between the two schools. This could clearly be seen from the work and photographs that were on display for everyone to see.
Both schools would like to thank the following for their help and support last year and this year -
- Bethany and her amazing team from Oasis Youth came to school and hosted a workshop and from this lots of children from both schools enjoy going to the afterschool clubs they offer.
- Healthy Kidz staff are always on hand to help the children celebrate all the work that has been completed during Shared Education lessons. They host a fun day at the Peoples Park for P4 to P7 children and a fun morning for the P1 to P3 children; during the month of June.
- Currently the P6 children from Hart Memorial PS and Presentation PS, are taking part in a basketball project run by PeacePlayers. Alex made contact with school at the start of the year and has organised 4 weeks of basketball workshops. The boys and girls are having a great time learning lots of new skills.
- The Millennium Court in Portadown allowed the schools to use their amazing building to host the event. A huge thank you from both schools for allowing this.
- Also, a big thanks to Tesco in Portadown for the tea, coffee, milk and biscuits that were supplied by them and used during the event.
