Take a look at our superhero cities. We are so proud of them! First we mixed black with our blue paint and it made the colour darker. Then we used squares and rectangles to create our tall and short buildings. Finally we added some superhero words. We came up with POW, BOOM, CRASH, SMASH and ZAP!
This week we have been learning about the police. We became footprint detectives! We used cubes to measure different sized footprints. We counted the cubes to find out how long each footprint was.
Reception have been using the part-whole model to explore the composition of 4! We recorded our findings in a number story once we found out which smaller numbers make 4.
We have been making Christmas star biscuits. We have talked about each step using words such as first, then, next, after and last. We have ordered pictures of ourselves making our biscuits.
Once again, our children are fantastic! Here are our extremely successful results from the latest national Times Tables Rock Stars competition “England Rocks 2021”.
Harton Primary School is the 48th highest scoring school in England, out of 4,000+ schools!
Y4C is the 196th highest scoring class, out of 30,000+ classes!
Our highest scoring pupils were Jack S., Conner C. and Jessica M.
We are so immensely proud of everyone who took part!
We have been super in Reception. We read the story ‘The Button Box’ and then sorted our own class button box. We found lots of different ways to sort our buttons. Can you guess the criteria we came up with to sort our buttons?
It’s fun using the allotment as a setting for our work!

Our school competed against other schools in South Tyneside at the start of February. For one week, we played on Times Tables Rock Stars trying to gain the most answers correct, both individually and as a school. We were extremely successful! Our school were the winners, scoring the highest most accurate answers, as well as 3 of our children being the top scorers in the competition. We are so proud of everyone who joined in and helped us with this achievement. Fantastic!
Year 2 have been working so hard at home and we have been amazed with the fantastic work they have been sending in.
English
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!
Hello everyone, we hope you’re all doing well.
Today’s learning:
Phonics
We’d like you to look at o-e phone home. This sound has been sent home already so you can read the words and look at the sound card. There’s also a video to support your learning:
As an extra challenge, try writing down the o-e words. Don’t forget to use Fred fingers to help you sound words out.
English
For English, we would like you to complete the activities on pages 4 and 5 which focus on noun phrases. This is building on yesterday’s work about nouns and adjectives. We have also used noun phrases in school when writing setting and character descriptions.
Maths
Today’s activities on pages 4 and 5 are further practice using a number line to add and subtract.
United against bullying
The theme for this year’s anti-bullying week is United Against Bullying. Watch the video to find out more information.
In your learning pack there is a jigsaw piece for you to write a pledge, something you will do to help stop bullying. On the jigsaw piece write your sentence which could be:
My class chooses to unite against bullying/name calling/bullying so I will…
Then explain what you will do play your part such as treating everyone with respect or tell a teacher if you hear someone saying something unkind.
You can then decorate your puzzle piece to make it stand out.
We love seeing the work you have been doing so remember to send it in to [email protected]
