Check out our amazing odd socks to celebrate Odd Socks Day 2021.
It has been an opportunity to encourage all of us to express ourselves, celebrate our individuality and what makes us all unique and special.
Monday will be Odd Socks Day in school. Children are to come to school in uniform but are allowed to wear ‘odd socks’. It’s a great way to celebrate what makes us all unique in Anti-Bullying Week!
Anti-Bullying Week is coordinated In England and Wales by the Anti-Bullying Alliance and takes place from 15 to 19 November 2021 and it has the theme One Kind Word. The week will begin with Odd Socks Day on Monday 15th.
Kindness is more important today than it has ever been. The isolation of the last year has underlined how little acts of consideration can break down barriers and brighten the lives of the people around us. This is one of the reasons, that ‘One Kind Word’ has been chosen as the theme of Anti-Bullying Week taking place from 15 to 19 of November 2021.
At Harton Primary, we will be embracing the ‘One Kind Word’ theme and celebrating the week with a range of activities. We are looking forward to a kindness filled week.
We are planting wildflower seeds to create more areas for our pollinators, and reusing water from our water butt, and milk containers as watering cans.

Some of our allotment club helped to pull up and pick some vegetables. They will be used by our school cook to offer tasters to pupils. It’s good to find out where our food comes from.
Our salad vegetables are ready in the allotment and have just been picked!
We are celebrating the fact that we have our first strawberries in the allotment and that the ladybirds have returned to the mint plants. One of our pupils made some decorative clay sculptures to show this.
Nadia from Tranquil Treehouse is helping Year 4 pupils to notice the ‘wolf’ part of their brain, which in turn will lead to learning some useful relaxation techniques.
Allotment Club chose different varieties of sunflowers to grow – Giant sunflowers, Autumn Sunflowers, and Purple Sunflowers.
When the flowers have withered away, the head of the sunflower will make a great snack for the birds.
