Here are the finalists of Hebburn Lakes Got Talent in action! They were all absolutely fabulous and it was such a tricky choice for the judges.
Dear Parents, Carers and Children,
With the summer break fast approaching, I would like to remind you that KOOTH, commissioned locally by South Tyneside Council to provide instant access to free and anonymous mental health support for all those 10 to 25 who live in South Tyneside, will still be running when schools close for the summer.
KOOTH can be accessed online via

Take good care this summer.

Reception had a fabulous day at the beach. Sunshine, a shallow dip, ice creams and so much sandy fun and exploration! A perfect end to an amazing year!
As part of our previous theme ‘What on earth?’ and then linking into our current theme ‘Over the Rainbow’ Reception were very lucky to look after some caterpillars. We investigated the life cycle and then watched out caterpillars grow, change to the chrysalis stage and then finally our beautiful butterflies emerged! We observed them for a day or two and fed them fruit, when they were ready, we let them go free! Some of them flew off straight away, but one of them stayed as it seemed to like sitting with one of our girls!

This week during our theme ‘What on earth?’ we have been looking at small things. Then Reception used the story ‘Little Red Hen’ to support some of our learning. We decided to make some bread, the smell of baking bread was amazing and it tasted delicious! We certainly have some contenders for Great British Bake Off!
This week saw the return of Governor Day. It was even more exciting for the children as the Chair and Vice Chair gave an assembly about the governing body role and how they help the school.
This week the children had a fantastic opportunity to take part in R.E workshops based around the Indian festival of colour, ‘Holi’. Kalpesh from K’z Dance Entertainment Ltd taught all the children some traditional Indian dances and discussed with them the meaning of the Holi festival. At the end of the day the whole school came together and performed the dances taught earlier in the day, the children and staff had some wonderful moves! At the end of the performance everyone took part in throwing colourful dyes at one another to celebrate Holi, just like it is carried out in India.
