This half term Year 1 have been following directions in Geography. We enjoyed working outside and around our school grounds to learn more about using a map. We looked at the points of a compass and practised finding North. We then played games to help us remember different directions and had to identify different symbols used on a map.
This year Hadrian’s Wall celebrates it’s 1900th anniversary. To mark this special occasion, we have created our very own ‘Hadrian’s Wall at Harton’. Every class from Nursery to Year 6, have been learning about Hadrian’s Wall. The children used what they had discovered to write a fact about the wall on a brick which we used to make our enormous wall!
The celebrations for the Queens Jubilee are about to begin, our Year 1 classes visited Cleadon Park Library. We heard all about the Queens Orangutan and decorated bunting to display it the library.
This year Hadrian’s Wall is celebrating its 1900th anniversary. Years 1 to 6 took part in online workshops delivered by Tyne and Wear Museums as part of their ‘Virtual Hadrian’s Wall Day’.
We are working on a very exciting project in school. We have all been learning about Hadrian’s Wall and every child has made their own ‘fact brick’. We look forward to sharing the finished project with you soon!
Here are some pictures of our bricks. Can you guess what we are building?
We had a lovely morning in year 1 with a visit from Little Rescuers.
We learnt some life-saving skills of first aid, taught in a fun and engaging way, through games, music and teamwork.
We know how to call 999 if we need help and how to put someone in a recovery position. Check out our photos to see us in action!
Spring is on its way and to a keen observer, the earliest signs of the changing seasons are everywhere. Many of us love to watch nature waking after winter.
Spring is a busy time for trees, they are ready to burst into leaves when there’s enough sunlight.
As our season is changing from Winter to Spring, we have been learning about the signs of Spring.
This week we went for a walk around out school grounds to see if we could find any of the signs of Spring.
We saw buds on the trees, bees and butterflies, daffodils blooming and daisies growing.
We saw our first sign of a bumblebees and butterflies, Spring is definitely on its way!
The children from reception to year 6 love lunchtime club. Have a look at our photos and see what we have been up to this half term.
Wow ! I think you can tell that we love reading in year 1!
Can you spot who we all are?
This month we were very excited to be able to celebrate our Reader’s of the month on World Book Day! The children have been chosen because of their fantastic achievements in Reading at school and at home.
Well done everyone, we are so proud of you!
