Today in 1B, we have been looking at plurals in our English lesson. We looked at the rules of adding -es onto the end of words to show that there are more than one. We used or phonics to say the sounds and write each word and then we decided whether we needed to add -s or -es to make them plural. We had such fun and even practiced it more in planning time!
In 1 Blue, we are going to be writing a set of instructions on how to make porridge to fit with our book ‘Goldilocks and the 3 bears’. We first added the porridge oats into the bowl and added milk. We then gave it a good stir and then put it in the microwave for 3 minutes. The children also know that we needed to let the porridge cook before we ate it because it would burn our tongue. When the porridge was cool, we added our choice of topping (golden syrup, sugar, jam or chocolate spread) and we ate it all up. It was very yummy!
1 Blue had an amazing day for World Book Day. We made Winnie the Pooh honey oat balls, enjoyed some fun activities in the hall and went on a scavenger hunt around school to count how many characters from Winnie the Pooh there were.

The children in 1 Blue have been doing some computing in LMTW. We were working in pairs to compose and decompose structures that we had made with Lego. Each child was given 5 pieces of Lego which they had create a model out of. Then their partner had to follow their algorithm’s to recreate their model and discuss the process they used. We used sequencing vocabulary like first, next and last to help our partner sequence the lego.
Today in our Learning Means The World session, we have been looking at the 7 continents. We learned a new song to remember the continents and we even ordered them from greatest to smallest. Did you know that Asia is the greatest continent? We then had great fun matching the continents to their place on the map.
The half term in PE, we are looking at gymnastics. This week, we looked at how to make our bodies narrow so we can move under and over various equipment. We learned that in order for our bodies to be narrow, our legs and feet need to be together and our arms can either be by our sides or above our heads. We had lots of fun and especially liked performing the narrow jumps off of the small podium.
These are the Year 5 and 6 School Sports Leaders for Hebburn Lakes Primary School. They are learning how to support all of the children in Physical Education (PE) and Physical Activity and will be completing a series of tasks throughout the year to enhance our leadership. The first session was the launch day where the children found out what they will be doing, the rules involved and their first task for this half term. They also participated in a bunch of activities which involved resilience, communication and team work which are the foundations to being a good leader.
In Year 1, we have been looking at instructions and how we use them. Today, we decided to make a witch’s brew using lots of different ingredients. We used our imagination when making the brew and changed the name of the ingredients to fit the theme of Halloween. We used sequencing vocabulary to orally tell our friends how to make the brew before finally drinking it. We loved being witches in this lesson!
Today in our Learning Means the World lesson, we have been doing some computing. We have been looking at what algorithms are and how they work. We got into pairs and one person was a robot and the other was the instructor. We used directional language like “forwards and backwards” to give the robot an algorithm (a series of instructions). We also loved performing our algorithms for the camera!
In Year 1, we have been making bags for a fairy. We designed our bag yesterday and then today we made them. We had lots of rules that we had to follow so that the bag was right for the fairies, for example it needed to be small so they can carry it and it also cannot harm any nature so flowers were off limits! We took great pride in our creations and we were so proud of how our bags turned out and we hope the fairies love them just as much as we do!
