Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
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.
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!
What a spectacular day!
There isn't much that makes me speechless but our Y5 pupils showcased their talents in a cross curriculum performance based on the story of Joseph that was simple EPIC!
Music, drama, reading, art and RE were all brought together in the beautiful venue of Trinity Church. We were so proud of our pupils and thank all the families who managed to attend.
Today, our Y3 children took part in an inter-school competition in dodgeball. We created 8 teams and, in association with the Erewash School Sports Partnership ran the event during the afternoon for pupils to be active, competitive and to show their teamwork skills. A highly energetic and fun afternoon had by all! Well done!
It was lovely to see so many of our families come to parents evening over that last 2 days. Thank you for attending to continue our partnership work - I hope you were pleased with the amount of work your child has created and across the many subjects you would have been able to see in their books. We also managed to fit in a feedback session regarding the new format for the pupil school report - I shall set about creating the final format from the feedback we received.
Thank you also for the positive feedback left and your many comments praising our school.
Our Year 5 pupils and staff went to see the Wilsthorpe production of Mary Poppins. Well done to all the student s and staff connected with this super show - and a chance for our pupils to take some tips as we look forward to our own creative performance next week.
Look out for confirmation of your parent evening appointment time that has been given out to your child today.
To mark this day (Friday 21st March) pupils will be experiencing poetry examples this week - whether classic, descriptive or funny, we will be celebrating this wonderful use of language.
Miss Milne launched our latest STEM competition today in assembly. This time the theme is marble maze - open to all pupils tp create their own marble game. The sky is the limit - it can as creative as you want. Competition ends Monday 3rd March with prizes for the winning entries.

Once again, it was our pleasure to welcome Steve Rivers to school as the Year 5 pupils took part in an African drumming and dance workshop as part of their current topic work. An amazing experience, culminating in a fabulous show of their talented drumming. Well done to you all!
