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.
We are all so proud of our lovely Ava in Y1A. Having made a wreath from a collection of our class poppies, Ava went along to South Shields Riverside to represent our school at the Remembrance service. She kindly sent in some photos; here she is pictured with her proud Dad George, representing the Navy. Thank you Ava and George!
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!
Today we held our annual Remembrance Day commemoration. Children across the school have been learning about Remembrance Day and every child made their own poppy. The poppies were displayed around the school. Here are some photos of our beautiful poppies.
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.
For black history week we have been learning about Martin Luther King. First we looked at why we celebrate black history week. We then discussed racism and how people used to be treated differently based on how they looked. To understand who Martin Luther King was, we watched videos and read facts about him to make our own fact file. At the end of the week we made our own ‘ I have a dream’ speech bubbles highlighting the importance of everyone being treated equally and fairly.
We also created some lovely ‘ with my own two hands’ art work.
This week we also made our poppies for Remembrance day. They are going to look amazing when we put them around the school.
Year 1 have been working hard as usual and we wanted to update you with some of our activities before the holiday. We had a fabulous time learning all about Autumn. We were thinking about how the trees change with the new season. In Art, we looked at the work of Louise Mead. We enjoyed creating our own pictures in this style, using lots of autumn colours. We also tried to draw our trees by hand and using an iPad. Here is some of our work.
Check out the brilliant bats that some of our children have made for the Halloween STEM project arranged by Harton Academy. We’re really impressed by the different strategies used to improve how far the bats flew.
