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!

In English we have been learning about alphabetical order distinguishing between letter names and their sounds. In maths we have been learning about measures in lots of practical ways. We ended the week outdoors, learning about the difference between volume and capacity using different containers and lots of water! ... See MoreSee Less

What a busy two weeks in Nursery!
Last week, we looked at the story of The Enormous Turnip. The children loved joining in with the repeated phrases in the story, and it was a lovely way to learn about teamwork and helping each other. We also used the story as a starting point to learn all about vegetables. The children lots of real vegetables, talking about the colours, shapes, and textures, and even had fun using them to create patterns with paint.
This week, we have been learning about the story of Easter. The children enjoyed listening to and talking about the story in a way that was meaningful to them. We got creative by making chick artwork using forks and paint, and we even made chocolate crispy cakes, which the children really enjoyed making and of course, tasting! 🍫 ... See MoreSee Less
