P7 pupils were treated to a wonderful reading this morning by local NI author Lynda Haffey. The kids listened intently to every word, in a flashback lesson to their younger school days. This reflective piece encouraged pupils to think about themselves in this big world. When you think sloth, you think lazy, but this sloth chose to do things differently. Being happy and confident, and aware of our strengths are great attributes when heading in a new direction towards Post-Primary education. Kids engaged in effective conversation with Lynda and showed great respect to each other when considering Lynda’s novel. They had lots of fun.
To end our “Pirate” topic we dressed up for a brilliant day of treasure hunting and pirate activities!!
From Monday 17th-23rd January, Hart Memorial took part in Energy Saving Week. It is a national campaign with the aim to help and encourage people to save energy while cutting down on fuel costs at the same time.
Our eco-committee went round to check that classroom lights had been switched off when no one was in the room. They recorded the results and during our eco meeting we picked the top classes- Mrs Clarke P6 and Miss Harrison P3. Well done!! 🌟
Thank you to P4 Miss Rowland’s class who ran a poster competition on raising awareness about saving energy. Their posters will be displayed around the school to highlight the importance of this .🔋💡
We rounded off the half term this morning with a great morning’s fun with Peter from Sentinus. The children worked in groups to create a bridge using paper straws and masking tape. All group’s bridges successfully held one 5 litre bottle of water, and some held the weight of two of these bottles - amazing!!
The children then had to create something using KNEX, which everyone really enjoyed. The creativity was flowing with one group trying to build Big Ben and another group building Barry’s amusements!!
Well done everyone!
Well done Dylan for earning the Healthy Kidz- Star Of The Week.
Primary 3 had super fun ending off their topic about “Pirates”. The children dressed up for a fun day of treasure hunting in teams, computer tasks and golden time games linked to pirate life!!
Take a look......
What a fabulous month we have had in Nursery. We have had great fun learning all about People Who Help Us.
