It was pleasing to once again be involved with Hatfield Heath Community Primary School. The project involving Year 6 this year was based on the theme of ‘Our Village’ which provided the opportunity for Pupils to express themselves in many ways. It provided an interesting experience showing how the many facets of each Village can be recorded. It was possible to use a variety of techniques produced in perhaps many types of design concepts possibly written, photographic, drawn, use of collage material or computer generated. Pupils could use any form which they felt reflected their individual personality. Work produced was of a high standard showing a wide range of initiatives when dealing with ideas moving to the finished piece of work. Using Power Point, photography, illustration, painting and drawing techniques all demonstrated a range of outcomes. David Parish, Chair of the Society, judged the work along with Ivan Cooper who had organised the project with Year 6 Teacher, Mrs D Davis, both were equally impressed with the outcome. The Pupils were undoubtably pleased with the work they had produced and regular contact once again with the History Society is paramount to the project. Certificates and prize tokens were awarded to three Pupils and Commendations to two others all signed by the Lord of the Manor, President Patrick Streeter and David Parish. The School and Society are equally committed to ensure that involvement with the project continues and forms part of the Pupils experience before moving to Senior School. The photograph below shows the five pupils with their certificates. From left to right Martha, Ro, David Parish, Darcy, Daisy-Lynne and Ruby. Article written by Ivan Cooper.

At the April meeting talk on the history of St. John the Evangelist church at Bush End, the comment that not much was known about Sarah Chamberlayne who laid the church Dedication Stone and help fund its building was thought to be worthy of a bit more elaboration.
