1 Red went to the Centre for Life

9th June 2023L Chisholm

Year 1 went to the Centre for Life as part of our theme ‘Light Up The World’.  We had a really great day exploring our universe.  We completed some map work by looking at different continents and which animals came from which country.  We then took part in a ‘Gross Bodies’ theatre show where we discovered what horrible things our bodies do to keep us healthy.  We explored space, its planets, a space rocket and mission control; then took at tour through the stars in the planetarium.  We explored different machines and how they worked and what a great brain we have.  It was a brilliant day and we have learnt so much!

9th June 2023Miss L Robinson

1 Blue had a fabulous trip to the Life Centre in Newcastle. This trip linked to our theme ‘Light Up The World’. The children did lots of exploring and learning through play. Their behaviour was amazing throughout the day and were a credit to the school.

Little Inventors- Competition Winner!

5th June 2023Victoria Cartmell

Back in February, South Tyneside Council and Dogger Bank Wind Farm teamed up with Little Inventors to bring us ‘Powering the Future: South Tyneside and Beyond!’

Both our Year 4 and %ear 5 pupils took on an invention challenge, created for their year group.

This challenge focused on the role and uses of wind and kinetic energy- both forms of renewable energy.

All of our entries were amazingly creative and bursting with innovation!

Incredibly, out of the 167 ideas posted into the competition, our very own Tommy (4 Red) had his invention selected as a winning entry; he was then invited to meet the designers and have his invention brought to life!

Upper Key Stage Two Boys Football: Champions League Finals

25th May 2023C Campbell

Hebburn Lakes’ Upper Key Stage Two Boys’ Football Team took part in this afternoon’s South Tyneside Primary Football Champions’ League Finals at Mariner’s Park in Jarrow.

We are delighted to report that the team achieved a very creditable 3rd-placed finish, only conceding one goal across the seven matches that were played.

Having won our first five games, it all came down to two very close fixtures against Cleadon Academy and St.Aloysius, where a 0-0 draw and a last-minute 1-0 defeat cost the team the chance to be crowned champions.

Nevertheless, we couldn’t be prouder of the team and the journey that the boys have been on this season. It wasn’t to be our year, but we’ll be back in 2023/24. Well done boys on an absolutely fantastic season of high-quality football in which you have come so very close to being named the best team in South Tyneside.

Thanks also to Mr Todd for his valuable support this season.

 

 

French in Year 6

24th May 2023Miss L Robinson

6 Blue have ended their topic on pets this afternoon showcasing their work in the form of a concertina book. The focus this half term has been ‘pets’, the children have also been  revising colours and size to describe pets in French. The children have used sentence building to speak about pets and then to write sentences creatively to describe pets.

1 Red Knowing their Directions

24th May 2023L Chisholm

In Maths this week we have been looking at position and direction.  We used lots of mathematical vocabulary to describe where we were or give our friends directions.  We know full turn, half turn, 3/4 turn and 1/4 turn.  We then moved onto forwards, backwards, left and right.  We had great fun directing our friends around the classroom, completing dances that included directions for us to follow and, possibly the most fun of all

……we programmed a Beebot with directions to arrive at a given destination!

4 Red Replicates Romero

19th May 2023L Davison

This week as part of our Picture Our Planet Theme, the children in 4 Red have been learning all about Romero Britto, a Brazilian pop artist.

First we looked at Romero Britto and his work. We had a class critique, saying what we thought about his pieces of art. Then we looked at other famous Pop Artists and their work and compared their different styles.

After coming up with some different designs in our sketch books, it was time to recreate some of his work using textiles and creating a collage.

Here’s how it turned out.

Isn’t it fantastic?
