What a difference a year makes! We couldn’t have known, when we started planning the Nature Area, just how useful that part of the school was to become in helping children (and Staff!) de-stress and step away from their computers! https://t.co/EXKby9DJsX #Kingshott #Hitchin https://t.co/hg7K3iU3RC

Year 5 pupils are about to embark on a study of the Home Front in World War Two, as part of this they will be looking at rationing and ‘digging for victory’. Mr Comerford kindly and enthusiastically took the children out into the Nature Area before the holidays. The children planted potatoes and leeks and learned about the WW2 Dig for Victory initiative.

Walk for Luke Luke lost his life on 28 March 2019, following a tragic accident at a hockey training session. On the 2 year anniversary of his death, Blueharts will be walking or running 2 miles (or more) to raise money for the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA), who played such an important role in getting Luke to hospital on the night of the accident. As well as raising valuable funds for EAAA, the event will be an opportunity for members to take time to remember Luke and reflect, whilst being together in spirit. We are encouraging members of all ages and their families to get involved - wearing your Blueharts kit and sharing photographs on the way. Please remember to adhere to social distancing rules, only exercising with your family/bubble or as pairs from different households. Hopefully, you will see other Blueharts taking part on your walk – please remember not to congregate in groups. We are suggesting that those taking part donate the equivalent of a match fee, or whatever you can afford via www.justgiving.com/fundraising/bluehartstogether Or you can text ‘LUKE’ to 70085 to donate £5 (this costs £5 plus a standard rate message). If you'd like to take part, we'd love you to share your pictures along the way, via social media using the hashtags #blueharts and #walkforluke or you can email them to bluehartscomms@gmail.com.

What a difference a year makes! This week the, now-maturing, Nature Hangout saw the whole of Year 3 planting seeds as part of a Science lesson, and 6P taking over as the ‘duty class’ and carrying out their jobs with a huge smile on their faces; the children can learn such a lot there, doing the simplest of things! We couldn’t have known, when we started planning the Nature Area, just how useful that part of the school was to become in helping children (and Staff!) de-stress and step away from their computer screens!
