The countdown is on… Only 2 days until the launch of the St Oswald’s Shaun the Sheep on the Tyne art trail!The fabulousflock of 115 big and little sheep will take to the streets of the NorthEast for ten weeks ofcelebration in support of St Oswald’sHospice.
The trail map and app will launch very soon, so watch this space if you’re hoping to find them all – including our very own sculpture, lovingly named “Olor” by the children (“Olor” is the Latin word for Swan).
Unfortunately we currently have a burst water main which is affecting the school. We have assessed the situation and school will be closed. Please keep checking in on dojo for further updates.
Thank you
Dear Community,
Please see the attached Flyer if you think anyone in your household with SEND needs would enjoy participating in SEND Cricket Sessions over the summer holidays.
There are various FREE ‘One-Day Camps’ for 7- 11 year old’s, on offer across the North East, so if you have a budding Ben Stokes, Moreen Ali or James Anderson at home, then get them along to try it out and have some fun at the same time.
Have a wonderful summer!

Hebburn Lakes Remains a ‘Good School’
I am pleased to say, that today we have recieved our recent inspection report, which will be coming home with your child tonight.
If at the start of the inspection, I had been asked to describe our school in a few words, It would have looked very similar to that of the opening line.
“Hebburn Lakes is a welcoming, inclusive school where pupils thrive”
The report will also be published on the school website and Ofsted’s own page in the coming days.
Thank you all for your support in ensuring we can Work, Learn and Achieve Together while ‘aiming to be the best we can be’.

We decided it would be nice for the children to get a butterfly garden kit so we could grow our own butterflies.
The kit came with a tub of tiny caterpillars and some food. Over a couple of weeks the children enjoyed watching the caterpillars grow as they ate up all of their food in the tub.
The caterpillars then climbed to the very top of the tub and turned into a chrysalis. The children found this stage very interesting and enjoyed watching as a harder shell formed around the caterpillar.
After less than a week, the butterflies emerged from their chrysalis. We put some fresh orange and sugar water out for the butterflies to eat and over the next few days we let them build up their strength before releasing them into the world.
Some of the children were lucky enough to get to hold the butterflies before they flew off!
