On Friday 17th November, we took part in a day of fun, excitement and fundraising. We enjoyed attending school in non-uniform and of course our Pudsey attire! Our school cook Linda and our lovely kitchen staff treated us to Pudsey cookies, yum! We enjoyed taking part in lots of Pusey art activities. In total we raised an amazing £496.60 to support children across the UK. Well done everyone!
On Monday, as part of Anti-Bullying Week, we celebrated Odd Socks Day! We enjoyed designing our own pair of odd socks and discussed how important it is to celebrate being unique. Here are some of our winning entries 🙂
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.
A big thank you for all of your charitable donations for non-uniform day!
Our School Council met online recently via Google Teams, and unanimously decided that they would like the £520 that was raised to be shared out between three charities:
the Anti-Bullying Alliance, Children In Need, and Show Racism the Red Card. We’re sure your donations will be put to good use.
Y3W have been participating in Black History Week and have been reading Little People, Big Dreams – Rosa Parks.
On non-uniform day when we supported Children In Need and Show Racism the Red Card, pupils discussed how racism is never acceptable and wrote statements on red and green ‘referee’ cards.
I will never judge a person by the colour of their skin.
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].
Miss Samuel’s class brought donations in for Children in Need, and enjoyed celebrating the day. Our Cook made a delicious Pudsey Bear biscuit for all pupils too. Some pupils also wore something red to support Show Racism the Red Card, then wrote positive statements about being ‘upstanders’, and not ‘bystanders’ to bullying.
As part of our Black History Week, pupils discussed equality and diversity for all. Show Racism the Red Card is a charity that we support as they do fabulous work promoting fairness and equality.
Miss Johnson’s Class wrote some positive statements onto red and green cards to create a thought provoking display which reminds us all why anti-bullying work is so important.
