Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Good morning Harrington families…. Just to let you know, it is our Classics week this week …. Year 3 and Year 4 are studying ‘Skimbleshanks ‘ and ‘The Railway cat ‘ while year 5 and year 6 are studying ‘The Railway children’… we will be posting some of their work on here this week for you to see…
Just a reminder about our STEAM competition, open for all year groups. Miss Patel from The Elms came to launch this competition a couple of weeks ago, in association with our local STEM Hub.
The theme of this year’s competition is ‘connections’ and the children have been challenged to produce a 2D or 3D creation using any materials and mediums to bring their project to life. The competition ends on Monday 26th February where staff from Harrington and The Elms will judge the entries - please ensure entries are handed in and clearly labelled on this day! A letter was sent out with some more information on a couple of Mondays ago ☺️
We are thoroughly looking forward to seeing this year’s entries. Prizes will be awarded to a winner and a runner up from each year group 🤩
Lovely to have everyone back to school.
We are back in the swing and have started our new topics.
Y3 are studying how the body works, Y4 explore the Vikings. Year 5 are taking a trip into space and Year 6 journey to Middle Earth as they explore the Hobbit.
We are looking forward to a packed term full of different learning opportunities! Look out for our newsletter later this week.
Reminder for your calendar too:
Our next Inset day is set for Friday 16th February when school will be closed to pupils.
Half term is the week commencing 19th February and we return on Monday 26th February.
Good morning and Happy New Year to you all.
Term starts again tomorrow and we look forward to welcoming all our pupils and families back to school.
The term is drawing to a close.... all raffle prizes have been won and claimed and the children have even enjoyed a virtual trip to the panto! (Oh yes, they have!).
Our class dojo will close to the teachers at 4:00 pm tonight and will re-open at 8:00 a.m. on Monday 8th January when we return to school.
Any emergency messages can still be sent to Mrs Wilmot throughout the holiday.
The staff wish to thank people for the cards, gifts and kind words sent in this Christmas time.
From everyone at Harrington, we wish all of our families a very merry Christmas and a peaceful and happy New Year.
Snowflake Fayre is coming tomorrow with treats for the children!
Why not have a turn of the tombola, play some games or buy some small gifts and pocket money toys? Berkeley Bear is also looking for a new home.
Our enterprise team have been busy making things for you too! All stalls have prices from 20p-£1.
Please send any money in a named purse/wallet or envelope. All classes will visit the fayre tomorrow afternoon as part of our Christmas fun events.
Reminder - it's Christmas Jumper Day tomorrow. Pupils can wear their festive jumper over their uniform as a treat - no charge. School will make a donation to NSPCC.
This week Harrington have been competing in the TTRS competition, England Rocks.
Harrington came in the top 20% of over 4000 primary schools!
We are all so proud of the children’s hard work and dedication.
Tomorrow is Children In Need. To take part, children can come in clean PJs (with pants, socks and vest/tshirt underneath) for 50p. Y6 will need to wear trainers as they have PE in the afternoon. Y5 need to bring their PJs in a bag to change into once we are back from swimming so should wear normal school uniform to the pool.
To participate in a smaller way, you can wear odd socks!
Everyone needs to bring a coat.
We also have biscuits on sale at breaktime in the hall for 50p. All monies raised will go to support this charity.
If you do not wish to participate, please come in normal school uniform.
Our poppy appeal will open tomorrow. Poppies are available for a donation of 50p. We also have remembrance gifts such as reflective bag tags 50p, zip tags 50p, wristbands £1 and snap bands £2.
Available from Mrs Clarke in the school hall at break time.
