This week some of our Year 1 children were chosen to take part in Cricket activities at Temple Park. There were lots of throwing activities, catching, group games, batting games and we were introduced to new skills.
Year 2 had so much fun at St Mary’s Lighthouse. We created art using a range of natural materials on the beach. Next, we observed the seals soaking up the sun and having a little swim. Then we climbed all of the 137 steps to reach the top of the lighthouse for an amazing view. Finally, we explored the rock pools and identified different sea creatures.
Some of our Y6 girls had a very exciting opportunity today to visit Dance City in Newcastle as part of South Tyneside’s School Sport Network. The girls learned a dance routine and then they had the opportunity to choreograph their own routine and perform it. It was a fantastic morning!
Today we had a special visit from ‘The Akademiks’.
We all sang and danced to Christmas music.
We had a fantastic time!!!
This term children in Years 2 and 4 have worked with Elliott from Durham County Cricket club. The children have learnt batting, bowling and fielding skills and on Friday they got a chance to play Glow in the Dark Cricket.
On Friday 30 children from Year 4 attended a skipping festival at Temple Park. The children learnt individual, paired and group skipping skills and we hope to see them being performed on the yard this year.
8 children for Year 6 recently visited McNaldo’s MMA gym. The children were shown some Jiu Jitsu moves and how to perform them safely with a partner.
Children from Year 2 visited Temple Park last week and took part in a Christmas themed multi skills event. The children loved the games and learnt some new games to play back at school.
This term ,Year 4 has been learning to play Kabaddi. The children have learnt the rules of the game, the importance of counting Kabaddi’s and tactics for the game. The children have really enjoyed the game.
The children have also created their own version of human rock, paper and scissors which they play as a warm up.
This week the Harton school team played games against St Peter’s and Paul’s and St Gregory’s.
In the first game the team fell behind early but fought back through an own goal to go in at half time level. In the second half a goal each for Ollie and Daniel put the team 3-1 up but St Peter’s and Paul’s pulled it back to 3-2 and in the last minute a lucky deflection meant they were able to pull it back to 3-3.
In the second game the team again went behind early but a goal by Alfie meant the scores were level at half time. A wonder strike from Daniel put us ahead and only a good save prevented us from going further ahead. St Gregory’s made it 2-2 near the end and Oscar pulled off a last minute save to keep the scores level.
Two really good games of football played in a really good spirit.
