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!

This week in Nursery we have been learning all about space, and the children truly blew us away with the knowledge they remembered and could confidently talk about!
We explored our planet Earth and learned about the Moon, discussed the other planets and discovered that together they are called the solar system. We talked about how we can travel to space, and found out how many people have been to space and landed on the Moon, the special clothing needed for a Moon landing, and even learned the word astronaut. The children were fascinated to learn that the Sun is not a planet, but actually a big star!
Our hands-on activities included using with ‘moon dust’, which helped to build fine motor skills while encouraging lots of lovely conversations about the Moon. We also built rockets using junk modelling, and enjoyed imaginative play with our small world astronaut and space themed tuff tray.
What a fantastic week of curiosity, we are so proud of our little space experts! ... See MoreSee Less
