This quote has always resonated with me as I feel it highlights the importance of a resilient and inclusive approach to both teaching and learning.
Every experience, every observation, every interaction is a learning experience. We are all lifelong learners and at New Hartley First School we foster, promote and admire a love of learning. We encourage all of our children to ‘dream big’ and ‘aim high’.
We pride ourselves on our welcoming and nurturing ethos and would highly recommend that any prospective parents or carers come and visit.
We would love to meet you!

Y1 have enjoyed our work on 2D shapes this week. They can name many common shapes, explain what makes a 2D shape 2D and describe their properties. They have created pictures and repeating patterns using stencils, tiles, pegs boards and more! ... See MoreSee Less

In English this week, Year 2 have enjoyed exploring our new picture book, 'Tuesday' by David Wiesner. They had some brilliant ideas about what they could see on the front cover and what they wondered about the story. They worked hard to write their own expanded noun phrases to describe pictures from the story and today we have been practising how to punctuate a list using commas, all in preparation for writing a setting description next week. Great work Year 2! ... See MoreSee Less

Wow, Reception have had a busy first week back to school! We enjoyed our first yoga session with Suzy, especially the chance to relax at the end. We also had our first PE lesson of the term, lots of us had missed Liam and he was welcomed with lots of hugs! The children worked hard in developing their balance and coordination skills. Of course we have also enjoyed playing out in the snow this week and we even experimented with ice to see if we could figure out ways to make it melt. Some of us used a timer to see how long it would take for a small piece of ice to melt in our hands. ... See MoreSee Less

This week in Nursery we have been settling back into our routines after lots of Christmas fun.
We have started our new topic, What a Wonderful World, using the non-fiction text “Welcome to Our World: A Celebration of Children Everywhere.” The children enjoyed learning about different flags and exploring the many ways children around the world travel to school.
We got creative by making our own worlds with a sticking activity, and by using pipettes with blue and green water to create Earth cotton pads, a fun way to strengthen our fine motor muscles too!
We also had a fantastic first PE session back with our coach, focusing on balance and strength.
What a busy and exciting first week back in Nursery! 🌍 ... See MoreSee Less
