Art World Records Ambassador
Tue 19 May 2020Dear All,
I’m very excited to announce that Hawthorn Tree School has been selected as an Art World Records Ambassador, and we’d like to invite you to be part of breaking the world record for the largest online art lesson! This will be an official Guinness World Records title attempt so if we are successful, we will be making history...from home! Additionally, the project is raising money to help fight COVID-19 which is no doubt front of mind for us all.
The lesson will take place online on the 21st May at 4:00-4:30pm BST. It will be led by World Book Day author and childrens’ book illustrator, Rob Biddulph. You might know him from #DrawWithRob (as seen on BBC or all over social media) or his books, ‘Odd Dog Out’ or ‘Blown Away’. The lesson is free to join and suitable for everyone at home. To count towards the world record, all you need to do is register individually at www.artworldrecords.com and join Hawthorn Tree School on the day.
I’m aiming to get every one of our teachers, students and their families to attend. When we return to school, after months confined to our homes, wouldn’t it be great to be able to say that we were all part of breaking a world record!?
So please register at www.artworldrecords.com and pick up those pencils on the 21st May!
Thank you
Arts Team at Hawthorn Tree School

Year 3/4 Finish Second in Athletics Competition
Thu 16 Jan 2020Congratulations to our Years 3 and 4 Athletics team for finishing in 2nd place at the Boston & District Schools Sports Partnership competition on Friday 10th January.
Sports Report -
Isla and Connie were the media team for the Athletics competition. When we got to Peter Paine Sports Centre, we got given green bibs. So we're the green team. After that we did a warm-up with most athletics skills in it. The athletics competition events were a variety of track and field events including:
- Obstacle and over/under and hurdles races, single and double track relays as well as team relays at the end
- Long jump, speed bounce, chest push, 5 strides and vertical jumps and also javelin
If someone did well in our team they felt very proud and the rest of team was very grateful to them for helping our team score.
Everybody had at least 2, 3 or 4 events. Everybody practiced after school with Mrs Ingamells and Mrs Rodgers so they knew what to do and were confident!
We had 3 races left. After the three races we got in lines of boys and girls and the host announced the results.We want to congratulate the team because their hard work and great spirit to do well meant they came second bringing home silver medals and a trophy.
Quotes:
"We are surprised we came second in our race and feel very good about it" Alfie and Charlie
"We feel very good and surprised. We were determined to win" Jaxon and Tory
"I've done the over and under and chest push and am happy to be at the competition!" Nicole
