Author, Jack Trelawny, visits pupils at Heartsease Primary Academy

By

Heartsease Primary Academy were recently visited by the author Jack Trelawny. He talked to children in years 2 to 6 about how stories are everywhere and that you can start to write about real life experiences. They loved the funny pictures he showed them and enjoyed hearing him read from one of his books. Some of the children bought copies of his books and are loving reading them.

Heartsease Primary Academy had a fabulous day when British BMX World Cup Freestyler Emma Finnegan came into school to share her inspirational journey and future aspirations with everyone on Tuesday 30th April.  The pupils thoroughly enjoyed her visit and were suitably inspired.

Thank you to everyone who donated 50p for the ‘Wear your p.e./sports kit to school Day’ on the day. £181 was raised which will go towards the ‘Inspire Through Sport’ charity.

Year 5 pupil’s visit from the Pop-up Planetarium

By

In connection with the year 5 topic on space, on Thursday 9th May, Heartsease Primary Academy hosted a ‘pop-up planetarium’. They were joined by Year 5 classes from all the other trust schools. Children were taken on a spectacular journey through our solar system, from the Sun way out to Neptune, and beyond. Most children had not been in a planetarium before and they loved the experience, as well as learning a great deal. We’d like to thank Miss Williams at Lingwood for arranging this exciting event.
