Year 2 had a brilliant time at Beamish as part of their coalmining topic in History. They learned about life as a coalminer and how living conditions were very different then, they were shocked to find out you had to go outside to the toilet and grandparents slept in a cupboard in the living room!
They took a ‘shift’ down in the coal mine to experience how it would’ve been for many children to work in the cold, dark and damp conditions.
Finally, the children went back in time and took part in a Victorian school lesson. They had to stand when speaking to the teacher and call her ma’am. Everyone had an amazing time.

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!
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.
The children in year 2 have been learning all about Mary Seacole as part of Black History week. They found out about her determination to help others, using her own money to travel to nurse soldiers in the Crimean war. She even made her own herbal remedies, many of which are still used today!
The children created some fantastic fact files using all of the amazing information they learned.
Some of the wonderful work created by year 2.
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.
