Congratulations to this week’s winners and especially to Kourtney who won November’s GTBG raffle.
We had a real treat this week when Konnor visited the school to teach us some circus skills. The children enjoyed spinning plates and juggling. We discovered that it was much harder than it looked!!
This week, the children of P4S presented their class assembly on the theme of Creation to their parents and their school friends in P1-4. This was a vert special occasion as it was the first time a special assembly has been held in Hart Memorial since the Covid outbreak. The children’s performance was excellent. They sang beautifully and are to be commended on how well they learnt all their words. They made their teacher and CA very proud. Well done to everyone.
This week it is our turn to litter pick around the school grounds so we headed out this afternoon. It was fun to use the litter picking sticks so the children were actually disappointed to find such a small amount of rubbish in our school grounds, just the odd tissue and bit of plastic. Well done Hart Memorial pupils for keeping our school grounds so clean and tidy.
This morning Julie from the Dogs’ Trust visited our class to tell us how to stay safe around Dogs. She had 2 friends with her and we enjoyed petting them.
Some of the children wore costumes to school today. Didn’t they look great. Also we have been working hard on our tree collages. We are proud of the results.
As part of our WAU topic (Trees) we have been growing seeds. This week we planted cress seeds. The children predicted that it would take 2 months for them to sprout so they were shocked and delighted to see little seedlings within 48 hours. We also did a science investigation to find out the conditions needed to make seeds grow. We found out that they need water, light and warmth. The children were amazed to see that seeds which sprouted in the dark produced very pale and weak seedlings.
Today we enjoyed a visit from the Baptist Church. We had an amazing journey through the bible and met two well known characters, Rahab and Thomas. The children were also given the opportunity to dress up in biblical costumes and taste food from bible times. They were also presented with a section of God’s special book, the Bible.
