We end our first week with yet another sporting success as some of our netball players took part in the annual netball festival at Trent College this afternoon. A special mention to one of our team members who won the title of 'best defender'. A big thank you to Mrs D and Jaimie for taking and supporting the pupils. who represented the school so well.
What a super active day we have had! Thank you to all the families that supported our Football Shirt Friday, in aid of the Booby Moore Foundation (bowel cancer awareness). We had lots of fun activities based around football in the afternoon from locating teams across the world, orienteering with a football theme and, of course, cross bar challenge to name but a few. Many thanks to Mr Capewell for organising this fun event.
We are excited to announce a special event taking place on Friday, 25th April. The children are invited to wear a football shirt to school to support Football Shirt Friday (linked to the Bobby Moore Foundation Cancer Charity).
To participate, each child is asked to donate 50p. All proceeds will go to the Bobby Moore Fund, which supports bowel cancer research and aims to increase public awareness of the disease.
If your child does not have a football shirt, they are welcome to wear any sports shirt or the colour of their favourite team. As we have sporting events in the afternoon, children can wear their sports tops and PE bottoms (tracksuit or shorts) and trainers.
What a fabulous start to the term - we had our swimming squad out at the local swim gala at West Park this morning.
The team did a terrific job, with girls coming 4th and boys securing the top spot of 1st place. Overall we were just pipped to finish second out of all the teams. Well done to the pupils who represented the school so well. You were amazing!

The sunny weather might be encouraging you to think about buying school uniform for the summer term. ALL clothes must be suitable for school - please make sure dresses, skirts and shorts are thigh length (NO SHORTER). Some shops sell some very short items with some shorts resembling hot pants and they are simply not appropriate to wear as uniform and can cause embarrassment for pupils when in a class full of other children. Please be aware when making purchases - many thanks for your co-operation.
Don't forget, pupils come back to school on Tuesday 22nd April as the Monday is Easter Monday. Enjoy the break - let's hope the sunshine lasts!
We were delighted to welcome back members from Crawfords, Agricultural Consultants who work with NFU Mutual (National Farmers Union) who led some farming workshops with our Y3 pupils. Lots of new foods were samples, as well as looking at the importance of farming, arable and livestock, as well as fair trade. The children really enjoyed the first hand experience of handling and tasting the new products.
We have had 2 days of skateboarding here at Harrington as we welcomed our coaching team back again. All pupils had the chance to learn this skill, with co-ordination, energy and bravery as they took on this challenge. The sun shone and the pupils had a great, fun time experiencing a new trendy sport.
