What a fantastic week we've had! We learned about symmetry and made symmetrical butterfly sweets. We went on a symmetry walk around the school. Then we designed our own symmetry drawings with chalk. 
We had lots of fun at the Easter party, dancing, snacking and enjoying time with our friends. We had a great time going on an Easter egg hunt to find our Easter treat too. We also held some baby chicks - it doesn't get much more Spring like than that!

We deserve a really good Easter holiday as we have worked so well this term and our teachers' are super proud of us!

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 week we explored the World Around Us (WAU) outdoors. We listened to bird calls, observed the different birds that are around our school grounds and got creative with natural materials. Take a look at our super birds made from twigs, moss and grass.

In ABL this week we were using dough to create handwriting rules, on the ground, below the ground, and above the ground.

We had a freeze and melt science experiment to explore which body part could melt the ice cube the quickest!

And we used bird feathers to paint!

Take a look...

Look at our super learning...
We looked at compass points using IZAK9, ask us about norther, south, east and west. We also celebrated World Mathematics Day, we found mathematics in Art by exploring pointillism - look at our beautiful dot rainbows. We completed a Maths Quiz in teams and we investigated shape and number in our outside environment. Not to mention some fantastic number based costumes!

We had a super time this week making 3D models of birds using recycled materials for Science week. We considered the materials that would work best and how to attach them securely. Take a look at our creations!

 

We also met Carlos who lead us in a "feelings and me" workshop through Hip Psychology! He was great fun!

On Monday, we made bird food for our WAU topic with Mrs Woods. She looks after the school bird feeders. We mixed seeds and fat to create food balls and some of us picked to pour our mixtures carefully over pine cones!
On Tuesday, we enjoyed learning all about Pancake Tuesday and of course eating some pancakes.
On Wednesday, we had fun during ABL.
On Thursday, it was World Book Day and we dressed up and shared some of our favourite stories!

This week P3WA had their second day with friends at Presentation Primary School, we enjoyed doing a friendship activity together. Then we took part in a carousel of tasks around the theme of 'fairytales', as you can see we focused on The Three Little Pigs. We particularly enjoyed the yoga!

We also had an A-MAZ-ING day with our Pirate fun day!!!
We had a pirate parade, a talk like a pirate session, IZAK9 numeracy pirate tasks, pirate PE with Coach Steve and a treasure hunt. Mrs White and Mrs Flavelle had great fun too.

Please look at our photos...

P3WA have had an exciting week with Presentation Primary School visiting us. Take a look at all the activities we did together, it's lovely learning alongside another class :)

We were also learning about instructions and made playdough. Luckily we are all brilliant at following instructions or we might have gotten into a sticky mess!

Wow, we did it again.... P3WA have achieved Mathlete of the month for the 3rd time this year!

This is a huge achievement and I am so proud of each boy and girl for taking part so often.

Please keep up this great effort and participation for another month!  Every day doing Mathletics just 10 minutes really helps learning styles and factual information about all types of Numeracy skills.
