We have all been learning about the importance of Remembrance day and why we celebrate it. We created beautiful artwork that was displayed in the hall for everybody to see. Today in our special assembly, Year 6 shared some amazing stories about local heroes from South Shields. After the assembly, we held a minute silence to honour and respect the memory of all the men, women and animals who helped fight for our country.

Thank you to everyone who attended our book fair recently.
It was wonderful to see the children so enthused about new books.
Thanks to the fantastic turnout, we have raised £370.08 to buy more books for school to support the children and their love of reading.
We look forward to hosting another book fair in April.
Year 6 have taken part in some fantastic workshops this half term to support their learning in History lessons around Crime and Punishment and how this has changed over time. These include a whole day workshop with Past Productions where children had the opportunity to explore artefacts, take part in drama role-play and act out a ‘court scene’. The children also took part in an online workshop with the National Archives where we discussed and examined a range of historical sources.
A huge congratulations to Esme in Year 6.
Esme is the first Accelerated Reader award winner of the year, having read over 500,000 words already since returning to school in September! As she has achieved this in only 6 weeks, Esme is setting herself the challenge of becoming our first Word Millionaire before Christmas.
Congratulations to all of our pupils who were chosen as the Reader of the month for September. What a fantatsic way to start a new year! These children have impressed their teachers with amazing efforts in class, returning reading books regularly and challenging themselves.

At Harton Primary we believe it is vital for all our children to have the opportunity to engage with a wide range of music, through listening, composing, singing, playing and exploring music through cultures and periods of time.
We encourage the children to learn about different artists, who create and perform great pieces of music or art and discuss their similarities or differences.
Each term we listen to music that enhances the children’s knowledge about a particular artist. Music is played during assemblies and the children are taught about the artist specifically in music and art lessons.
Autumn 1
Francis Albert Sinatra (Frank Sinatra) was born on 12th December 1915. He was an American singer and film actor. Sinatra found huge success as a solo artist from the early to mid-1940s after being signed by Columbia Records in 1943. He released his first album, ‘The Voice of Frank Sinatra’ in 1946. His professional career had stalled by the early 1950s, but it was reborn in 1953 after he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the film From Here to Eternity.
By 1961, Sinatra had created his own record label, (Reprise Records) and was singing all over the world. He was a founding member of the ’Rat Pack’ and spent lots of time with famous celebrities (other famous actors in the Rat Pack included Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Junior).
With sales of his music dwindling and after appearing in several poorly received films, Sinatra retired for the first time in 1971. Two years later, however, he came out of retirement and in 1973 recorded several very successful albums.
Sinatra is one of the best known artists of all time, selling over 50,000,000 records!
Frank Sinatra died on 14th May 1998 as one of the world’s most famous singers.
