I cannot believe we have already been back to school for a month! The children have wasted no time in impressing their teachers with their outstanding effort in Reading.
The children chosen for September have been able to choose a new book from our brand new selection to take home. We hope they enjoy reading them.
Well done everyone and keep it up!
Wow! Even more AR award winners! Mrs Fawkes is delighted to say she is struggling to keep up with them, there are so many!
What an amazing year we are having with reading achievements and it is wonderful to see our children so enthusiastic about reading!

Well done to our latest group of Half Millionaires! Even more outstanding reading achievements this year from Flynn, Harry, Mia, Georgie, Isla and Lennon.
Congratulations to Jack in Y6A. We have another Word Millionaire! Jack has really enjoyed reading the Harry Potter books this year as well as lots of non-fiction texts which have helped him achieve this award. Well done!
Congratulations to Conner (Y6F) and Jack (Y5F) who have become our latest Half Millionaires, reading over 500,000 words this academic year.
Another huge well done to some of the children in Mrs Fawkes’ English group also who have worked so hard on their reading this half term and achieved their points target on Accelerated Reader. Well done everyone!
Congratulations Lily (Y6D) who is now a Word Millionaire. We are so proud of Lily’s wonderful achievement. Lily loves reading and this year she has developed a love for the Harry Potter novels, reading all 7 novels in the space of a few months. She is now reading the “His Dark Materials” series by Philip Pullman. Well done Lily! 
Congratulations to James in Y5F for reading over half a million words on Accelerated Reader. James is very proud of his achievement and is eager to become a Word Millionaire this year.
This half term, Year 3 are focusing on a gripping story about friendship, loyalty and betrayal.
On Friday our teachers stepped into the role of the character Magpie. We all stepped into the shoes of Dog and had to coax her to come out of the cave. To do this, we had to emphasise with Magpie and try to understand why she would want to hide away in the cave and sink into blackness. We came up with lots of convincing arguments and expressed those best we could through role play by speaking clearly and calmly.
On World Book Day we created book profiles of authors who have written series of books. These are going to be displayed in our Accelerated Reader library to promote some of our favourite authors to children who may not have discovered them yet.
We had a great day celebrating World Book Day too. Check out our costumes!
We had a wonderful time last week celebrating World Book Day at Harton Primary School. The children made such an effort with their costumes and we had a great day, completing lots of exciting reading and book-related activities.
