In September 2022, Harton Academy will be introducing a new PE kit for the new year 6 intake. The kit can be sourced from Bolam Sports, South Shields. Bolam Sports will be coming to the new intake evening in July, where children can be sized for the kit. Further information will be in the Transition booklet which will be sent out to parents later in the term.
Congratulations to Jack in Y6A. We have another Word Millionaire! Jack has really enjoyed reading the Harry Potter books this year as well as lots of non-fiction texts which have helped him achieve this award. Well done!

Our Year 5 mini police have been out and about in our local area learning about the work of our community police team. They took part in a community speed watch where they learned how to operate the police cameras and reported in any offending drivers over the police radios! They had a great afternoon, and were great ambassadors for our school and for Northumbria Police. Some great pictures below:

This year Hadrian’s Wall is celebrating its 1900th anniversary. Years 1 to 6 took part in online workshops delivered by Tyne and Wear Museums as part of their ‘Virtual Hadrian’s Wall Day’.
We are working on a very exciting project in school. We have all been learning about Hadrian’s Wall and every child has made their own ‘fact brick’. We look forward to sharing the finished project with you soon!
Here are some pictures of our bricks. Can you guess what we are building?
Congratulations to Conner (Y6F) and Jack (Y5F) who have become our latest Half Millionaires, reading over 500,000 words this academic year.
Another huge well done to some of the children in Mrs Fawkes’ English group also who have worked so hard on their reading this half term and achieved their points target on Accelerated Reader. Well done everyone!
Check out some of the amazing newspaper articles Y6 have written this week. The Y6 children have loved reading Macbeth this half term and have completed some fantastic pieces of writing including diary entries, letters, play scripts, characters descriptions and even their own version of the witches’ poem and chant.
Congratulations Lily (Y6D) who is now a Word Millionaire. We are so proud of Lily’s wonderful achievement. Lily loves reading and this year she has developed a love for the Harry Potter novels, reading all 7 novels in the space of a few months. She is now reading the “His Dark Materials” series by Philip Pullman. Well done Lily!
Well done to our super pupils of the month! There were lots of excellent reasons that pupils were nominated this month, but it was lovely to see so many pupils nominated for giving their best all of the time, having beautiful manners and being excellent role models to others. Keep up the great work everyone!
