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!

Year 1 are very excited to see the weekly growth of their sunflower seedlings. After 1 week, many pots had signs of growth and after 2 weeks of nurturing there were lots of changes to observe (for most). Some seeds are still a little 'sleepy' so we have popped in a second seed to see if we can 'wake them up'! ... See MoreSee Less

This week in Nursery, we have been learning all about the life cycle of a caterpillar! 🐛
We read The Hungry Caterpillar together and then sequenced the events of the story, helping us understand how a caterpillar grows and changes. The children then got creative and made their own caterpillars using a variety of materials, including paints and stickers, supporting fine motor skills with the small stickers. We also explored the story Monkey Puzzle and had some lovely discussions about whether all babies look like their parents or not! ... See MoreSee Less

We have had a busy week in Year 3. Thank you for those who were able to join us for the coffee morning. It was great to have the opportunity to share the brilliant work we have been doing in Year 3. As part of our Blossom Project with Seaton Delaval Hall, we had a visit from a local artist who helped us create some magnificent prints. We have also been peeling and cutting fruit and vegetables as part of our DT project. ... See MoreSee Less

Year 2 have had a brilliant week! In maths, we have been measuring in centimetres. We had fun working with our partners to find equipment around the classroom to measure and compare. Mrs Winter was so impressed with how well we used our rulers to measure, starting at the 0cm mark. In computing, we have been learning about how to show data in a pictogram. In RE, we have been learning about Judaism. We listened to the special Jewish prayer, the Shema, and made our own Mezuzahs, which the Shema prayer is kept in. Well done Year 2! ... See MoreSee Less
