Before Christmas, Amazon UK contacted Harton Primary School to ask if we wanted some Christmas decorations that the children could use to create their own designs. Pupils in year 4 and 5 had the chance to create their own designs and there were even prizes for the top designs!
Yesterday, Year 2 completed their RE topic on the importance and symbolism of light at Christmas by making Christingles.
Wellbeing Club have been making some mindfulness baubles to send to a school in Malaga. We are looking forward to receiving baubles too!
Before the Christmas holidays, every year group created beautiful Christmas cards to send to other European countries. We have received cards from schools in lots of countries including Spain, Croatia, Bulgaria, Poland, Wales and Latvia. Each year group also received their own set of cards created by children at another Spanish school. Y2E were also fortunate enough to receive personal Christmas cards from their new pen pals in Spain. We can’t wait to take part in more international projects!
Harton Primary School worked very hard to create cards for the other schools.

We were very excited to look at the cards from all over Europe!
The children helped to sort out the cards.
Thursday 17th December saw the last Carol Concert by the current Year 6. As Miss Chipchase reminded parents, it only seems like five minutes since they were performing ‘Oops – A- Daisy Angel’ in their Reception classes. This time the script was written by the children themselves. and told the story of the Nativity through letters and news broadcasts.
The concert was held at Harton Methodist Church, which added to the magic of the occasion, and we give thanks to Reverend Debbie for allowing us to continue our community links with this church. It was well attended by parents and the children performed very professionally. Every word could be heard and the singing was ‘angelic’.
Merry Christmas from all the staff and pupils in year 6.
Y1V had gone down to a special Year 5 assembly. Imagine their shock when they returned to class to see that a little visitor had been a bit naughty when they were out!
Maybe this little elf won’t be getting any Christmas presents from Santa this year?
For ‘World Christmas Day’ all of year 4 took a trip to France for the day. The children engaged in a range of activities including writing a letter in French, learning French songs, researching information about France using the internet, making calendars in the style of a French painter and most importantly they got to taste traditional French food.
Did you know that……
Ask someone in year 4 what we found out!
Strong smelly cheese!!mmm
We tried a lot of French food.
I hope someone in France gets my letter!
Our letters are going to France!
We can write in French.
Year 3 celebrated World Christmas Day by looking at Russian Christmas customs. They learnt some Russian words, facts about Russia, the story of Baboushka, made Russian nesting dolls and even tried some traditional Russian Christmas food.
