Hebburn Lakes Primary School Newsletter – December 2025
We invite you to explore our digital newsletter on Microsoft Sway, which provides a detailed glimpse into our recent activities and accomplishments. The digital format offers an interactive and engaging way to stay connected with our school’s journey.
We look forward to sharing our school’s story with you. 🏫📚
In year 4 we have been learning about ‘Why Christians believe that Jesus is the light of The World’. The children acted out the story of ‘The Blind Man’ and created stained glass windows showing ‘light’ as symbolism.
The children in year four have been learning all about ‘The Digestive System’. They have even created their own models using play doh.
The children in our KS2 Choir had a brilliant time performing their carols at Campbell Court residential home as well as Hebburn Comp’s Christmas fayre last week!
They showed courage, confidence and lots of Christmas spirit while singing their hearts out for the residents and staff.
We are so proud of them all!
This half term our children have completed some amazing homework, showing a real commitment to their own learning. Well done year 4!
As part of our ‘Come Fly With Me: Africa” theme we have been learning about different African dishes. This afternoon, we created a cous cous dish.
A lovely message of thanks was sent in form Northumbria Police.
“While returning from Hebburn on foot patrol myself PCSO William Gladwell 6800 and PCSO Laura Birleson 6752 were surprised with a box of heroes from Lyla Reynolds year 3, Hebburn lakes Primary School.
She stated this was for all the staff at the station and on behalf of my team and everyone else at the station I would like to say a massive thank you.
Lyla was confident and extremely polite when she spoke with us, a credit to the school.”
A wonderful Christmas Cheer to start of the festive season, Thank you Lyla!

In Learning Means the World ‘Come Fly with me Arctic Circle’ we have been looking at the arctic habitat which is known as a tundra. The children learnt that the arctic tundra is cold and often made up of sea and snow. This week we have been focusing on the design and technology element of the curriculum. The children all drew their own tundras then created an animal slider to move on it. If it was a land animal it was on the snow if it was a sea animal it was in the water. The children all did an amazing job and had great fun designing and making them.
