Good morning!

Here are today’s activities.

Today is Remembrance Day.

Look at the PowerPoint presentation to understand why it is important we celebrate this day. If you can, have a moment of silence at 11am to think about the sacrifice soldiers have made and what we can learn for the future.

In school, we would have created a poppy in class to display in our window. At home, using any materials you can, create a poppy. You could paint, draw, collage, or even make a poppy out of different materials and take a photo. Here are some colouring sheets if you would prefer to do one of these too:

Life was very different in many ways and the way we think and treat people has changed so much. Write a short paragraph (about 4-5 sentences) explaining what it would have been like being Katherine Johnson, a black woman, in the early 1900s.

What rules did people have to follow?

How would Katherine have felt at that time?

Do you think it was fair? Why?

School Awarded Artsmark Silver Award!

29th June 2020Ms A Emmerson

We are delighted to announce that Harton Primary School has been awarded an Artsmark Silver Award by the Art Council of England! We have only worked towards this award for 4 terms so this is an incredible achievement.

We are very proud this award and look forward developing our creative arts curriculum even further in the future!

The assessor made the following comment about the fantastic opportunities we provide at Harton:

‘It is good to see the progress your school has made in developing the Arts in just 4 terms. A new music scheme has been adopted and some valuable CPD has been given to staff in this and other arts. There have been several successful events and initiatives, including your Arts week, your Year 2 Heritage Learning Project and your Pen Pal Portrait Project, making some good links with other settings and establishing partnerships with arts providers and organisations.’
