Today 1 Red had their first music lesson with Mr O. It was all about listening and following instructions to play games and copy the rhythm and beat and work as a team. The children were split into 2 teams and had to work extremally hard together by communicating using their bodies and voices to enable them to beat each other and working effectively and quickly. A great time was had by all and we can’t wait for our next session.
For our final football lesson in PE, we used all the skills we have learnt over the last few weeks and implemented them in some team games.
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!
