1 Red have been looking at the Artist Cesar Manrique in Learning Means the World. Cesar was a famous artist, architect, designer and developer in Lanzarote. One of the things he was famous for was looking after his community and building and designing wind turbines. The children designed their own miniature wind turbines then actually used their design and technology skills to make their own pinwheels.
Wow, what a busy time Reception have had. We have been looking at the Emergency Services and how they help us. The children have been full emersed and are ready to join when they are older! We have been using the story Three Billy Goats in Drawing Club and the children have loved creating bridges, recreating the story and writing sentences about the story. We have also been measuring our hands and feet. A fabulous couple of weeks!
We are really enjoying our Land Ahoy theme but we encountered a problem! Our pirate only has one hand and there are lots of jobs to do on a ship. We designed a remote control to help him with his daily tasks and we added a variety of buttons for weather reports, kidstube, loud speaker (to shout at the crew). We also made it water proof because as you know pirates spend most of their time voyaging around the seas.
A very busy Spring 1 RE day at Hebburn Lakes!
As pat of our current theme ‘Athens V Sparta’ we have been looking at persistence, determination and team work. We have  tried to balance spoons on our noses- which isn’t easy but we were determined to do it and working as a team of structural engineers to create the tallest tower we could.

In 3 Blue we have been writing newspaper articles based on the events in the book The Tin Forest by Helen Ward . They were all so amazing that we have now created a whole class newspaper for everyone to read. Here are just a few examples of our amazing work.
Today in Year 1, we have been looking at environmental issues, one of which was litter. We discussed how it is everybody’s responsibility to look after the environment and ways in which we could do so. We then went out litter picking! We are happy to say that our school looks amazing and that actually there wasn’t lots of litter to pick which means that Hebburn Lakes Primary School is amazing at looking after the environment!
1 Red are having great fun at home using the Math’s App ‘NUMBOTS’. They are using Mathematical skills previously learnt to apply to this great game and the children are really enthusiastic about beating their personal scores each day. It’s wonderful to see their enthusiasm and confidence with Math’s grow through a simple App. If your child hasn’t already used the App we highly recommend it in year one.
1 Red had great fun using the large apparatus in PE this week. They used their gross motor skills to help this them travel across, over and under various large apparatus. Whilst finding some elements challenging everyone gave each part a good go and had a wonderful time in the process.
As part of our Jigsaw lessons we have had designed and made our own potato characters. The children thought carefully about what characteristics their characters would have.
