On Monday, twelve children from the PHIC went bowling. Walking to Hornchurch Station, we caught two trains to get to All Stars Bowling in Westfield Shopping Centre, Stratford.
Three schools, with a provision for hearing impaired children, attended and in total 7 teams took part. Hacton PHIC had 2 teams. The first team, our Year 1 - 3 children, came third, collecting Bronze medals. Our Year 4 and 5 children, one of which scored the only strike of the competition, came second and collected Silver Medals and a runner up trophy!
All the children were very proud of themselves and couldn’t wait to get back to school to share their achievements with Miss Hornsby and Mrs Leslie. A great day was had by all; it was an amazing opportunity for our children to see other children wearing a range of different types of hearing aids and also communicating using British Sign Language.
We have been writing a recount of our trip in our Literacy lessons which we hope to share with you when they are finished.
