Our challenge was to play a game that did not need any equipment. The great thing about these games is that you can play them anywhere. Can you guess what they are playing?

Joshua from YRM has been working hard at home. He has been writing sentences using his tricky words. Well done Joshua!
It is lovely to find out what people and enjoy. Our challenge was to draw around out hands and write five of their
dav
favourite things in our fingers. The children have picked some great things.
The children were challenged to write a poem about lock down. I am sure you will agree that the children have put lots of thought into these exceptional poems and, although lock down definitely has its struggles, the children are making the most of it and looking at the positives.
For World Ocean Day, our daily challenge was to create a poster about ways to protect our ocean. The children have really thought hard finding ways that we could help and created some excellent posters.
We love seeing children reading and enjoying a fantastic story. Our daily challenge was to see everyone doing this but in an unusual place. Which do you think is the most unusual?
Summer Reading Challenge 2020
The Summer Reading Challenge, presented by The Reading Agency is delivered in partnership with public libraries and funded by Arts Council England. Children are encouraged to read any books of their choice during the summer holidays (we recommend at least six) with collectable incentives and rewards, plus a certificate for every child who completes the Challenge. Usually, the Challenge takes place in public libraries across the country. This year, with the disruption caused by Covid-19 and the impact of social distancing on schools and public libraries, the all-new digital Summer Reading Challenge is launching earlier than usual – today!
The theme for the Challenge is “Silly Squad”- a celebration of funny books, happiness and laughter, featuring bespoke artwork from award-winning children’s author and illustrator, Laura Ellen Anderson.
Today- Friday 5th June there will be a whole host of virtual events with guest celebrities and authors to mark the launch of the digital Challenge on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/SummerReadingChallengeUK from 4 to 7pm.
The website https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/ will be updated tomorrow and will include new School and Home Zones. The website is free to access and a place for children to rate and review their books and work towards their reading goal. It will also feature video content, games, quizzes and digital and downloadable activities to incentivise and encourage children and their families to take part in the Challenge at home.
We would love as many of you to be involved as possible and cant wait to see your silly squad pictures to celebrate the the launch!
*Remember there are lots of websites/ apps which allow you to access books for free. Have a look at https://hartonprimary.co.uk/reading-at-harton/ for more information!
The children have had lots of fun making obstacle courses for their daily challenge.
Our latest daily challenge was to create a masterpiece using nature as part of the picture. The children could also use any media of their choice to complete the picture e.g. pens, pencils, chalk. The children at Harton Primary School are very creative!
Since the theme of this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week is kindness, we asked the children to ‘fill someone’s bucket’. This was inspired by the wonderful book by Carol McCloud. The children found different ways to show their love and appreciation for family, friends and teachers. We hope it fills your bucket when you look at the pictures and messages.
