This week we have been keen little gardeners as we have planted some sunflower seeds. Mrs Preston read us a story called ‘Sam plants a Sunflower’ and we used this to help us with each step. The children have planted one seed each and we will watch over the next few weeks to see if we can see any little shoots starting to grow.
Each day we will choose a little helper to water and check our seeds.
We can’t wait to keep you posted if we see any growth but we know that we must have patience.
Last week we met for week 5 of Families Connect which was based around ‘Book Talk.’ We had lots of conversations about the importance of books and reading stories to our children. Our parents participated and told us about experiences they have at home in relation to story time and exploring books.
When the children joined us they spent some time with their Mummy reading some of the books on display. One child was enjoying the special story time so much he stayed behind with his Mummy to finish his book after the session had finished.
Thank you to those parents for their participation and commitment each week.
This morning we had 3 fluffy little visitors who came to meet us. 🐥🐥🐥 Torin’s Daddy Tom, brought in their chicks to let the boys and girls see and hold them. Torin taught us how we need to hold the chicks and told us about which ones will grow to be chickens or roosters. Did you know if a chick has furry feet, it is female?
Most children wanted to hold a chick and the they all did fantastic. One little chick kept trying to fly away but we managed to keep it safe. It even tried to climb up onto William’s shoulder!😁
A big thank you to Torin and his Daddy for bringing in the chicks and teaching us lots of new things. What a fantastic learning experience!

We had lots of fun taking part in the 10th anniversary of the Daily Mile. Each day in school the boys and girls take some time to go outside and complete the daily mile. We have been doing this in our class bubbles for some time now but today we all joined together (including nursery) in our lovely pink t-shirts to celebrate ten years of the Daily Mile. Happy 10th Birthday Daily Mile from everyone at Artigarvan Primary School and Community Nursery 🥳
Our school and nursery will be taking part in this tomorrow-please wear your trainers and tracksuit bottoms/shorts. You will receive your free tshirt in school tomorrow morning 😊
Well done to all the boys and girls in Year 3 and Year 4 and their grown ups who completed six weeks of paired reading.
Well done to all the children in Years 5-7 who reached their target in Accelerated Reading-enjoy your Easter egg and homework pass.
Today, every child in school and nursery has received an Easter Egg from the Hills Church. Inside one of the eggs there will be a golden ticket 🎟 If you find the golden ticket you can visit the Hills Church Fun Day (every child has a leaflet today about this). At the Fun Day you will receive your prize which is a pair of Air Pods. Thank you so much to the Hills Church for their kindness and good luck everyone….who will find the Golden Ticket????
