Reception keeping our hands and teeth clean!

5th October 2022K Richardson

We had a visit from the school nurses today. We talked about how it was so important to wash our hands and brush our teeth. We passed round a ball with glitter on to show how easy it is for germs to spread. We sang a song which helped to us to remember how to thoroughly wash our hands.

Next it was time to learn how to brush our teeth properly, count to 6 on every tooth and brush them twice a day. We are now experts 😀 🦷 🧼👏🏻

PSQM Press Release September 2022

Hebburn Lakes Primary School Awarded Primary Science Quality Mark

Over 400 Primary Science Quality Marks have been awarded to infant, junior, primary, middle and special schools this month to celebrate their commitment to excellence in science teaching and learning.  So far, since its national launch in 2010, over 5000 schools across the UK have achieved a prestigious Primary Science Quality Mark.

Primary Science Quality Mark is a one-year school improvement programme for primary science, which provides professional development for new and experienced subject leaders each year. PSQM enables confident, knowledgeable, reflective leadership which results in an improvement in the way in which science is planned and taught across the whole school.

The Primary Science Quality Mark is led by the University of Hertfordshire in collaboration with the Primary Science Teaching Trust.

Associate Professor Jane Turner, PSQM National Director said: “There was never a more important time for primary children to have a high-quality science education. The coronavirus pandemic and climate change crisis have made everyone aware of the importance of science in our world.  Primary schools have an important role to ensure that children understand how science works and keeps us and our planet healthy and safe. Schools that have achieved a Primary Science Quality Mark have demonstrated a significant commitment to science teaching and learning. The profile and quality of science in each awarded school is very high. Children are engaging with great science both in and outside the classroom, developing positive attitudes towards science as well as secure scientific understanding and skills. Science subject leaders, their colleagues, head teachers, children, parents and governors should be very proud.”
