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.

As part of our recent WAU topic, Our Senses, we have been learning how our eyes, ears and noses work. We looked very closely at our eyes and drew them using pastels, making sure we included our irises, pupils, tear ducts, eye lashes and eye brows. The results were amazing. The children then used the FacesiMake on the iPads to produce representations of eyes using lots of different objects. We also have had fun investigating how efficient our senses of smell and taste are, on their own and together.

As part of our WAU topic Our Senses, we carried out a taste and sound test. We had lots of fun and made some excellent guesses. We found out how our senses work as part of these investigations.

We have been learning how to tell the time in P2. We made analogue clocks. We put on the numbers in the right positions ourselves. It was very tricky but we did it!! Have a look at our pictures.

This month has seen the children working happily along side, and with each other. There has been great enjoyment and learning through outdoor play. The children have been getting creative in the garden. There has been many perfumes, potions and food made with mud, water, flowers and other outdoor items the children have found. We also created a huge giant called Everest using items we found outside. This was inspired from our reading of fairy tales this month. In the classroom we have been using our imagination, creating our own fairy tale characters, and making our own characters and settings out of junk. The children have also putting their problem solving skills to the test, completing 28 piece jigsaws independently!

We have been learning about Fairytales this month, planting seeds and decorating gingerbread men. We have been developing our imagination and creativity in the home corner. It has been lovely to get back into our nursery garden again this month- planting, digging and creating delicious recipes in our mud station!
