This half term we have been learning all about Space. We started off by finding out which planet we live on, planet Earth! We used Google Earth, found Harton Primary School and zoomed all the way out until we were in space. Look at our amazing Earth paintings. We included land and sea.
This half term Y6 have been developing their sketching skills and creating self portraits. We have worked on shading and blending and spent time drawing and practising our different facial features and expressions in our sketch books before creating our final self portrait.
Wow look at the eggs our Nursery children completed for the school egg competition!
A huge well done!
We have worked really hard in Nursery to complete observational paintings of our chicks.
Year 2 have been working so hard at home and we have been amazed with the fantastic work they have been sending in.

In English, children started off the term learning about China. They have been writing and performing poems about Chinese dragon’s dancing in the New Year parade. They practised reading their poems aloud, speaking clearly and using sound effects and actions.
Here are a few of the brilliant performances:
The children used the facts they learned about China to write some wonderful information texts.
Maths
Look at all of the marvellous multiplication that the children have been doing, investigating how many equal groups there are and how many objects are in each group:
Here is even more fantastic work that year 2 have been doing, we are so proud of them!
All of the children at Harton Primary School created some fantastic, festive baubles to decorate the whole school. You might have seen them adorning the classroom windows!
The children at Harton Primary School have been celebrating their positive attributes as part of a whole school art project. They drew a self-portrait and thought carefully about a positive word to describe themselves, there were some brilliant ideas and fantastic drawings.
The children were able to recognise their best qualities and the things that they like about themselves, helping them to reach their full potential. We were so impressed with how much they celebrate their own achievements and it was so lovely to see how proud of themselves they are.
Year 2 have had an action packed few weeks getting into the festive spirit and have been taking part in some fantastic Christmas activities. The children have designed wonderful Christmas cards and beautiful calendars using paint to create a tree for all seasons.
Christmas party day was brilliant, starting off with an online pantomime which was hilarious – the children got involved, singing along to the songs and shouting at the characters! They had a wonderful time dancing and playing party games in the classroom, we have some fabulous dancers.
They enjoyed a visit to Harton Grotto for hot chocolate with marshmallows, a story and some singing. There was even presents under the tree!
Finally we had visit from Tides of Change, the children made their own Christmas tree decoration using twigs and then roasted marshmallows to make delicious s’mores. It’s been a truly wonderful time and we have enjoyed every minute.

This week in 6F we have been making our calendars for 2021 and the placemats for our Christmas Party.
Our calendars show the 4 seasons and we have used paint and some pointillism to draw the leaves.
The children used their creativity to design Wellbeing Bubbles as part of Artsmark Celebration week. They had to think about activities that made them feel good, using the five senses as their inspiration. There were some fantastic ideas, here are some of their brilliant designs.
