We had a fabulous day at the farm. We gave lots of cuddles to animals of all shapes and sizes and fed lots too. It was a fabulous first hand experience for everyone.
We took part in our sponsored circuit morning with our special visitor Paralympian Lucy Turner. We did spotty dogs, mountain climbers, press ups and star jumps. We completed our circuits in approximately 7 minutes and we were brilliant. We have collected lots of money to go towards buying new sports equipment for our school. We are so proud of ourselves!
Today we took part in our ‘sponsored sports circuits’ in collaboration with ‘Sports for Schools’. The children were all extremely motivated and willing to have a go which made the whole event a huge success. Lucy and Chris who carried out the event commented on how amazing and committed the children were and that they were a credit to the whole school. The session was finished off with question and answer style assembly where the children found out all about Lucy’s path to becoming a Paralympian. The message from Lucy was ‘you can achieve your dreams if you just give 100% to all you do’. Well done Hebburn Lakes!
This week Year 2 have started their new Learning Means the World theme, Going Wild!
To start our science based theme we collected photographs of our pets. We used guidance from the RSPCA to create posters of ‘How to looks after pets’.
The children showed just how knowledgeable and caring they are, and produced brilliant, eye-catching posters, full of good advice for pet owners.
In today’s Maths lesson, we used our problem solving skills to find different solutions to the ‘Next Door Numbers’ problem. We had to arrange number cards from 0 to 9 in a certain way so that no two consecutive numbers were next to each other horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
There were lots of different ways that we solved this problem. How many different ways can you find?
This half-term in PE, we are doing dance. The theme is based on space and we are exploring being astronauts and aliens. So far, we have created a sequence consisting of 3 movements and performed it in unison and then in canon.
The children in Reception are having so much fun exploring dance through their Little Movers PE sessions, here is a clip of their wonderful dance performance.
Reverand Ian joined us today to talk to us about helping others and that Jesus taught us to help others before we help ourselves. We discussed how even using our words in a positive way can be helpful.
