Before half term, year 4 enjoyed learning about coastal features. They carried out research into how different coastal features are formed and how they are protected. We had some brilliant pieces of work produced which persuaded people to visit South Shields. The children thought about the different human and physical features which they thought people would like to see.
Some exciting news for J.K. Rowling fans! During lockdown, J.K. Rowling – the world famous author of the Harry Potter novels – has written and is releasing a new story The Ickabog in free instalments on the website tagged in this post. https://www.theickabog.com/home/
Every day, she will be making suggestions for what you might like to draw. You can enter the official competition being run by J.K Rowling’s publishers, for the chance to have your artwork included in a printed version of the book due out later this year.
Get creative and get drawing! Please also send us some of your wonderful illustrations. We can’t wait to see them.
The children have had lots of fun making obstacle courses for their daily challenge.
Our daily challenge was to create something that would be shown in an art gallery. The children have created some wonderful masterpieces.
Hi everyone!
The 30 day Music Challenge is coming to an end…I hope you have all had fun choosing songs to suit each day.
Today is day 27 – “Listen to a song that you have listened to with your best friend”. A good choice for today might be, “You’ve got a friend in me” from the film Toy Story.

I hope you have enjoyed the challenge so far…only a few more songs to go 🙂
We are all enjoying our daily exercise whilst being at home so this challenge was to find a new way to exercise. We have been doing anything from painting a fence to horse riding. It is clear that our children know how to have fun whilst keeping fit.
Our latest daily challenge was to create a masterpiece using nature as part of the picture. The children could also use any media of their choice to complete the picture e.g. pens, pencils, chalk. The children at Harton Primary School are very creative!
The children in Year 4 have been continuing to work extremely hard. From creating different pieces of fabulous art work and informative posters, to carrying out further research into Ancient Egypt, to thinking like scientists – it has been wonderful to see.
Since the theme of this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week is kindness, we asked the children to ‘fill someone’s bucket’. This was inspired by the wonderful book by Carol McCloud. The children found different ways to show their love and appreciation for family, friends and teachers. We hope it fills your bucket when you look at the pictures and messages.
Our daily challenge was to photograph the nature around us. This could be in the garden or out on a walk. It is fantastic to see the varied photos and proof that the nature surrounding us is beautiful!
