School Choir

Our School Choir are enjoying showcasing their songs to a range of audiences this festive period.

The Denton and Harlaxton choirs have joined together to sing to the local community. Together we can sing!

Festival of the community October 2024

The year 3 children were invited to create some art work celebrating the past, present and future of our local community. Their art work was projected on to Linpet House during the evening festival. Here is a small sample of the art work produced, it looked wonderful and we enjoyed supporting the local event. 

Rotary Stars - July 2024

Lez from The Rotary Club came to award these children the Rotary Star Award for their hard work, dedication and effort this term, following our school values. Well done!

RE Day

Children enjoyed meeting visiting speakers from St Phillips Centre in Leicester, learning about their beliefs and religion. They took part in dressing up, dancing and understanding food that can and cannot be consumed too. 

Choir Performance 

The choir did an amazing job sharing their songs to parents and family members.

Water Safety Collective Worship

Today Geoff from the RNLI came to school to talk to us about the dangers and accidents that might happen around water. We learnt how to be safe around water and who the coastguards help.

Sports Day

The whole school enjoyed a range of activities and races competing for their house teams. We are pleased to announce the winners for EYFS and KS1 were the Vikings and the KS2 winners were the Saxons. Well done to all of the children and parents for joining in too!

Charity Fun Day

The House Captains and School Council arrange lots of 'fun' activities to raise money for Daisy, the child from African Partners in Education that we sponsor. 

The children enjoyed ice-pops, cakes, dressing up in non-uniform and throwing wet sponges at the Year 6s. 

Festive Singing to Residents at Local Care Home 

The Year 1 and 2 children of Denton and Harlaxton joined together to sing a range of festive songs to the residents at Apple Trees Care Home. Together we sang songs including Away in a Manger, It was on a Starry Night and Jingle Bell Rock. 

Advent candle

As Christmas is approaching, we are lighting the advent candles. The four candles of Advent represent the four Sundays of Advent, and they respectively symbolize hope, peace, joy, and love.

Key Stage 2 Carol Concert

The children enjoyed participating in the annual carol concert in church to their parents and the local community. The video below shows our Year 3 and 6 sharing the story of the birth of Jesus. Whilst Year 4 played the hand bells to festive songs and Year 5  learnt British Sign Language to Merry Christmas everyone. 

King Charles - Letter of Thanks
Year 3 wrote shape poems which they sent to King Charles to congratulate him on his coronation. They are fortunate to have received a reply from him.

Harvest Festival 2023

The children visited St. Mary and St. Peters' church to celebrate and share thanks at Harvest time. Below is a video montage of the EYFS and KS1 performances. 

Collective Worship

Our House Captains have begun to deliver Collective Worship this year. Their first performance was the Weeping Widow. 

King Charles III Coronation

We enjoyed many activities to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III. Long live the King!

St Mary and St Peters - Coffee Morning 
Children from the school choir attended the village church to perform at the Christmas coffee morning. They presented Reverend Sarah with the star to top this years Christmas tree.

Remembrance Service

On the 11th November, all the children and staff at Harlaxton school observed a two-minute. Additionally, all classes created a display piece for the local church which we presented in time for their remembrance service on Sunday. As a community, we have many families who are members of our armed forces and we recognise their contribution throughout the year so to be able to observe the silence as a whole school was incredibly powerful and the children demonstrated respect throughout.
