This week in our LMTW lessons, we have been developing our computing skills. We have been learning about algorithms and creating our own algorithms on Hour of Code and Scratch. We were set challenges to make our sprite characters do lots of different tasks – we had lots of fun doing them!
This week we have been working with number bonds to 10. We used various concrete objects to support our learning. We investigated various numbers and looked at their number bonds. Skittles, bean bags, numicon, aliens and so many other ways! Ask us some of our number bonds if you see us!
This week, the nursery children enjoyed a spring walk around the school grounds. We were looking for signs of spring. Although it was windy, it was quite a mild day – a sure sign that we are waving goodbye to winter and have some warmer weather on the way! We found flowers and noticed new leaves growing on the trees. We even saw bumblebees on the hunt for flowers, just like us!
While in the main school yard, we took the opportunity to practice our climbing and balancing skills on the trim trail and enjoyed playing on the play equipment too!

Our Upper Key Stage Two Boys’ Football Team continued their impressive run of form in this year’s league programme with another convincing win at Hebburn Comprehensive School on Tuesday evening.
With one matchday remaining, the boys are now well-placed to qualify for the Primary Schools’ Champions’ League Event which will take place later in the year.
Well done boys and well done to all of the players from schools who were represented at the games. Special thanks too to Mr Todd and Mrs Jennings for their assistance with the squad.
2 Red developed their music skills this week. After learning the song Shiver Me Timbers we chose instruments to represent each of the actions happening in the lyrics.
After deciding that the song sets a scene in our minds we shared out the parts of the song and each drew what was happening.
Take a look at our final Sound Picture videos in action!
Huge congratuations to Harvey in Year 6 who has represented the South Tyneside Under-11s County Football Team this season. The team came so close to winning the league, but just lost out in a close encounter to their Newcastle counterparts in the final league game. Lots of boys and girls at Hebburn Lakes play successfully for teams in the local area and we are sure that more children will follow in Harvey’s footsteps in the years to come. Well done Harvey!

They are all different sizes.
Can you think of any other uses?
3 Red had fun investigating equivalent fractions in maths today. We used the fraction parts to find different equivalents to unit and non-unit fractions.
