We are all so proud of our lovely Ava in Y1A. Having made a wreath from a collection of our class poppies, Ava went along to South Shields Riverside to represent our school at the Remembrance service. She kindly sent in some photos; here she is pictured with her proud Dad George, representing the Navy. Thank you Ava and George!
Anti-Bullying Week is coordinated In England and Wales by the Anti-Bullying Alliance and takes place from 15 to 19 November 2021 and it has the theme One Kind Word. The week will begin with Odd Socks Day on Monday 15th.
Kindness is more important today than it has ever been. The isolation of the last year has underlined how little acts of consideration can break down barriers and brighten the lives of the people around us. This is one of the reasons, that ‘One Kind Word’ has been chosen as the theme of Anti-Bullying Week taking place from 15 to 19 of November 2021.
At Harton Primary, we will be embracing the ‘One Kind Word’ theme and celebrating the week with a range of activities. We are looking forward to a kindness filled week.
Today was the first after school History club for Year 5.
We began by talking about how we find out about the past. The children used their Historical skills to look at pictures of artefacts and say what they thought they were, how they were used and what time period they were from.
We then thought about the role of archaeologists and the children drew their own archaeologist, thinking about their clothing and the equipment they would need. The children were interested to hear Mrs Moore was an archaeologist!
With children and adults spending more and more time online, here are some guides to help support both parents and children online.

Harton Nook Sainsburys very kindly donated a whole bunch of treats to our school to help cheer our children and staff up after what has been a very tough year!
Thank you to all of the staff at Sainburys for making such a kind gesture!
Merry Christmas from everyone at Harton Primary School!
We are teaming up with Age Concern Tyneside South to send a little community Christmas cheer to some of our South Tyneside residents. Our pupils have made Christmas designs which will be delivered via Age Concern. We think they look very Christmassy!
A big thank you for all of your charitable donations for non-uniform day!
Our School Council met online recently via Google Teams, and unanimously decided that they would like the £520 that was raised to be shared out between three charities:
the Anti-Bullying Alliance, Children In Need, and Show Racism the Red Card. We’re sure your donations will be put to good use.
Y3W have been participating in Black History Week and have been reading Little People, Big Dreams – Rosa Parks.
On non-uniform day when we supported Children In Need and Show Racism the Red Card, pupils discussed how racism is never acceptable and wrote statements on red and green ‘referee’ cards.
I will never judge a person by the colour of their skin.
Miss Samuel’s class brought donations in for Children in Need, and enjoyed celebrating the day. Our Cook made a delicious Pudsey Bear biscuit for all pupils too. Some pupils also wore something red to support Show Racism the Red Card, then wrote positive statements about being ‘upstanders’, and not ‘bystanders’ to bullying.
