Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
URGENT MESSAGE- we have had some significant tree damage this morning at the Derby Road entrance. As a result, the parking area is closed due to health and safety reasons. The entrance fencing has also received damage so we are asking parents NOT to enter the campus by car this morning. Please use the roads around the school if you need to park and walk onto the campus.
I am aware there has been a tree fallen on Wilsthorpe Road. Please take care when travelling as routes may be blocked or traffic may be heavy.
We are expecting some delays in pupil arrivals. All late arrivals should report to the main office.
This restriction of access applies to all 3 schools.
Reminder that we finish for the Easter holiday at home time on Thursday. School re-opens on Monday 15th April.
Well done to Year 5 for completing their training for the Water Safety 2 award. This involved calling for help, with reach and rescue. The children then learned the huddle position for group safety and survival in water. We ended our session with the ‘float to live’ principle- as recommended by the RNLI. A very important but fun lesson at the pool today!
Don’t forget that Miss Killen is running her Easter competition again this year 🍫🐰🌺
“The Easter Bunny has fallen and has broken a leg. Help is needed to deliver the Easter eggs! Can you design a superhero to help deliver the eggs in time?”
Competition closing date: Tuesday 26th March.
Add your name and class to the back of your entry and hand to Miss Killen on or before 26.03.24.
Prizes to be won…good luck to everyone who enters!
What a wonderful day we have had celebrating the amazing world of books 📚 The ‘buzz’ in the playground, as the children came in to school today, was fantastic.
We finished the day with a marathon ‘book swap’ event that has seen every child in our school take home a book of their choice to read and enjoy. This would not have been possible without the generous donation of books from our families.
Thank you to everybody for making this an extra- special day
Tonight we are sending out a letter outlining a potential opportunity to book for activities at Easter.
The HAF spring 2024 holiday clubs will take place from Tuesday 2nd to Friday 12th April (excluding bank holidays and weekends).
Bookings open on Monday 11th March.
Please follow the steps and use the code in our letter to book as this is NOT something that is school-led provision.
Thank you.
What a fabulously busy first week back!
Year 5 began their new topic on Africa with an interactive enrichment opportunity with Unbeatable Energy and their drumming day on Wednesday.
All classes took part in our Maths Morning on Thursday - exploring and solving maths challenges and puzzles. This was really well received and we hope to continue with more events like this.
And to end the week, we have had some excellent progress in our swimming sessions with many children graduating to the next group or making some super progress in their own skills and confidence.
Don't forget clubs start next week - please return your forms to allow your child to attend.
Return your letter to enable us to arrange a parent evening appointment for you.
Thursday is World Book Day - join in the Book Token competition (make your own design) or create a book character from a potato!
Also arriving on Monday is our very own Drumba equipment - requested by the children following on from our interactive workshop. Looking forward to hearing the beats ringing out from the hall soon!
Wowww! A huge well done and thank you to all those who participated in our STEAM competition! 🤩 We were absolutely blown away by the amount of fantastic entries we had yesterday, and our judges from Trent College and The Elms were amazed too. Our judges found it extremely difficult to choose winners and runners up due to the dedication and creativity shown in all entries. Each child will receive a participation certificate, with our winners and runners up being announced later this week 🏆 Thank you to all families who have supported their children during this competition - it has been a fantastic turn out with over 40 entries across the school.
Happy half term Harrington families ….. another busy week nearly comes to an end ….. REMINDER that it is our Inset day tomorrow so school will be closed to pupils.
Letters have come home about our World Book Day event that will take place on Thursday 7th March.
We will be hosting our very own book swap during that afternoon- so please have a look at home over the half term holiday to see if there are any books your children no longer read, so that they can bring these books into school after the holiday to be swapped.
There will be a box placed outside each classroom for the books to be collected.
We are also running two competitions ( details on the letter)
We look forward to seeing some of their entries
