1. Year 6 end of KS2 tests
A massive well done to our year 6 pupils who have risen to the challenge and smashed this week! We couldn’t be prouder!
2. Jubilee Banquet

On Thursday 26th May our school chef will be cooking a Jubilee Banquet.  Your child will have the choice of a Buckingham Burger (burger in a bun), Platinum pasta (tomato pasta {v}) or Corgi Sausage Roll all served with sides and a pudding.  You will have to order a hot meal on parent pay (this will not reflect the meal on offer) or if your child would prefer one of the sandwich options please choose one of those.

3. Jubilee Celebrations

School Jubilee Celebrations – Thursday, 26 May 2022

As part of our Jubilee celebrations, we will be holding a celebration day on Thursday, 26 May 2022.  Each child is to bring in a plastic/plate of food to eat at a ‘street party’ on the afternoon.

Each year group is learning about a decade of the Queen’s reign.  We think it would be nice for the children to dress in appropriate clothing for their decade:

Nursery and Reception             –           2010’s

Year 1                                          –           1960’s

Year 2                                          –           1970’s

Year 3                                          –           1980’s

Year 4                                          –           1990’s

Year 5                                          –           2000’s

Year 6                                          –           1950’s

4. Memory Planter

We are currently creating a planter outside of school in memory of Robbie-Dean Elliott who sadly passed away last year.  If you could please refrain from allowing children to climb on the planter and remove any of the items that are inside. Thank you

5. SEND Parent Session
SEND Parent/Carer Information Session – Tuesday 17th May 2:30 p.m.

Just a reminder that parents/carers of pupils with SEND are invited to attend the above session next week. The session will be delivered by Mrs Silvanus (SEND Coordinator) to all parents/carers and will take place in the hall. The session will run for around half an hour and will be finished in time to collect children. This session is a general overview of SEND provision here at Mortimer. Please note, details of individual children cannot be discussed in this group context. Mrs Silvanus looks forward to seeing you then.

Harton Academy in September 2022

CURRENT YEAR 6 PARENTS – NEW PE KIT

In September 2022, Harton Academy will be introducing a new PE kit for the new year 6 intake. The kit can be sourced from Bolam Sports, South Shields. Bolam Sports will be coming to the new intake evening in July, where children can be sized for the kit. Further information will be in the Transition booklet which will be sent out to parents later in the term.

8.  Keep Our Seas Plastic Free
Well done to Mrs Miller and her lunchtime ‘Friends’ group who have done a magnificent job producing this display to raise awareness and promote the message of ‘Keep our sea plastic free’. Thank you to everyone across the school who has brought in plastic bottle top donations: your contribution means less plastic pollution in the sea! 

We are now going to enter the artwork piece into a national Sealife competition in conjunction with World Ocean Day on Wednesday 8th June.

There has been a price increase from £2 to £2.50.
