The School Council had a meeting with the Local Authority regarding the infrastructure surrounding the school. Attached are the results so far, watch this space!
As part of our theme Come Fly With Me, Asia we have been learning about India. Today we made a delicious curry! We have some budding chefs 😊 The children used their senses to describe how the ingredients in the curry felt, tasted, looked like and most importantly tasted after being cooked! We ate the curry with rice and naan bread and it was delicious. We were blown away by how many children tried it and enjoyed it.
Unfortunately School Council could not attend the Armistice service in Monkton Village as it was on Saturday this year. Hebburn Lakes has still placed a wreath at the memorial. We will remember them ❤️
We have started our new Learning Means The World theme, Come Fly With Me Asia. First we are visiting India. We have looked at some Indian artefacts. We talked about the Sagan envelopes which people gave money in. We have been trying on Lengha dresses and some people have been given a Bindi. Everyone was given the opportunity for a Tikka (religious red dot) on their forehead and we have been saying ‘Namaste’ hello and ‘Shukriah’ thank you. Mrs Sikka also blessed us with some water. The children also learned about the celebration Raksha Bandhan, we then made some bracelets. Ask the children to tell you about the celebration 🇮🇳⭐️

Can I say a big thank you to our school council team 22/23 who had a very busy year. From organising the zones of regulation within the school, to creating a Hebburn Lakes Chant in addition to helping design our very own Hebburn Lakes sheep Olor!
Autumn 2023 – Welcome to the School Council team of 23/24
So far they have been tasked with thinking of some activities that KS2 children in breakfast club would like to be introduced. The children will chat to their friends in class and we will come back together next half term to discuss suitable activities.
Coming soon is a very important job from Mrs Moody. All will be revealed in good time! In the meantime the team will be talking to their friends in class about any issues they feel needs to be raised.
We have had a spoofy fun filled week in Reception. We have created spooky art, recreated some stories and drawn pictures, investigated pumpkins and so much more. We finished it all with a fabulous Halloween party!
As part of our Learning Means The World theme, ‘Happy to be me,’ we have been using our senses. We investigated some fruit and vegetables, then we decided to make some soup. We also talked about the Harvest festival and how we celebrate crops that are gathered from the fields and all the foods we eat. We also talked about how foods can be shared within the local community. This afternoon we tasted our soup, it was delicious! A big well done to children who weren’t sure if they would like the soup but gave it a try 🥕🧅🥦🫑
This week we have been exploring pattern. We have looked at repeating pattern using objects, colour, language and percussion. We created pattern, copied pattern and became pattern detectives looking for pattern in our environment and in stories.
In Reception, for our activities on World Mental Health Day we decided to have a Yoga session and draw a character using a tutorial on YouTube. Relaxing and so much mindfulness!
This week we began our maths and Sounds Write journey. In maths we have been matching and sorting. In Sounds Write we have our new sounds m, a, t, and s which we have been word building with. We have also been reading and spelling words containing those sounds. After our whole class learning lots of our children went out into the provision and began their independent learning, explaining their reasons and problem solving.
