The boys and girls had a great time at our Easter disco today and then enjoyed taking part in an Easter hunt!

A few weeks ago we enjoyed a visit from our friends in Presentation Primary School after we visited their school the week prior.  We met the boys and girls in the assembly hall to welcome them before bringing them to our classroom where we read the 'Smeds and the Smoos', a lovely Julia Donaldson book.  We played both indoors and outdoors, with the children moving freely between the two which was a nice change. The children then had lunch together in our classroom before we played more games in the assembly hall to finish off our day together.  The children will be able to see the friends they made a couple more times in Term 3 where we will share a class trip and enjoy a fun day hosted in Hart Memorial.

Back in December, we surveyed our parents and guardians on all things 'Hart!'  We asked parents questions regarding their child; their experiences when visiting our school; and what they see the main strengths and areas for development to be in our school.  
This data was analysed in January and February and we are now pleased to provide you with the results.  Alongside the results, we have also included comments to answer any queries etc which were raised.  Please read and consider these carefully.  
As a school, we were absolutely delighted with the results of the survey and the high regard which you have for our school.  
Moving forward, we will be using this data, and many other data sources, to help steer our school for the next 3 years.
May I, on behalf of the whole school community, thank you for your contribution.

Mr A Frizzell

This morning we had fun participating in fun physical number activities such as making human numbers, counting our skips and hula hoop spins, running to cones a given number of times and counting our jumping jacks etc.
Back in class, we enjoyed a carousel of math activities that helped to consolidate our learning in numeracy over the last few weeks, including pattern printing, pattern making with cubes, dice addition games and Beebot money activities.

Have a look at our science experiments that we enjoyed participating in for British Science Week. We had fun making predictions and then seeing what happened. We did a rainbow colour-run sweet experiment, made raisins dance and made lemon volcanoes.

Today P1 were ‘shape detectives’ on their outdoor 3D shape hunt around our school grounds. We were able to find lots of cuboids, cylinders and cones. Cubes and spheres were a bit trickier to find!

Today we enjoyed a ‘Hip ‘N’ Happy’ session with Carlos from HIP Psychology. This was an emotional intelligence workshop that used the characters from ‘Inside Out’ to explore our emotions and feelings and the good choices we can make when we feel these emotions.

Today we were able to visit Presentation Primary School. The boys and girls were so excited to take our pack lunches and get on the bus to make some new friends. The day was so much fun and we can’t wait to see our new friends next week when we welcome them to our school.

Over the last two weeks we have begun our Spring art activities. We used watercolour block paints to decorate our vases, then studied daffodils grown in our P1 garden, to consider their shape and colour for painting.
