Back in February, South Tyneside Council and Dogger Bank Wind Farm teamed up with Little Inventors to bring us ‘Powering the Future: South Tyneside and Beyond!’
Both our Year 4 and %ear 5 pupils took on an invention challenge, created for their year group.
This challenge focused on the role and uses of wind and kinetic energy- both forms of renewable energy.
All of our entries were amazingly creative and bursting with innovation!
Incredibly, out of the 167 ideas posted into the competition, our very own Tommy (4 Red) had his invention selected as a winning entry; he was then invited to meet the designers and have his invention brought to life!

Nursery have had a great day, exploring flowers, making observational drawings and creating perfume from petals and water.
Hebburn Lakes’ Upper Key Stage Two Boys’ Football Team took part in this afternoon’s South Tyneside Primary Football Champions’ League Finals at Mariner’s Park in Jarrow.
We are delighted to report that the team achieved a very creditable 3rd-placed finish, only conceding one goal across the seven matches that were played.
Having won our first five games, it all came down to two very close fixtures against Cleadon Academy and St.Aloysius, where a 0-0 draw and a last-minute 1-0 defeat cost the team the chance to be crowned champions.
Nevertheless, we couldn’t be prouder of the team and the journey that the boys have been on this season. It wasn’t to be our year, but we’ll be back in 2023/24. Well done boys on an absolutely fantastic season of high-quality football in which you have come so very close to being named the best team in South Tyneside.
Thanks also to Mr Todd for his valuable support this season.
Year 6 completed their final SATs today and what better way to reward the children’s herculean efforts than with a pizza party!
We are exceptionally proud of the children and it was lovely to see their surprised faces when the pizzas arrived!
Well done everyone!
In Maths this week we have been looking at halving. We were able to spot half an object or a shape, create our own half shapes and half quantities. We are fantastic at halving numbers using ladybird wings to support us.
We have just started our new theme ‘Light Up The World’ and one of our first lessons was to look at the difference between light and dark in all aspects of our life. We looked at a few pieces of music and decided which instruments played ‘light’ music and which ones were best suited to represent ‘dark music’. As a group, we then composed a light and dark tune.
