This week the children were introduced to the part – whole model in maths. We played around changing the numbers in the two parts and added them together to find the whole. We made number sentences to go with our models. We noticed that we can change the number sentence around when adding together.
We have read the story of The Gingerbread Man. The children have enjoyed retelling the story, using the play dough to make their own gingerbread men, counting buttons on different gingerbread men and lots more!
The children used jelly tots, chocolate drops and icing sugar to decorate their own gingerbread man biscuit.
We think they did a great job and hope they enjoy eating them as much as they enjoyed decorating them!
World mental health day, we decided to have a Yoga session for our mindfulness ❤️ we chose ‘ We’re Going On A Bear Hunt!’ ❤️❤️ We also talked about how it is so important to keep our minds healthy and happy as well as what we should do if we are worried or sad.
Today year 4 have been learning how to use apostrophes for contractions in English.
We investigated number patterns on a 100 square
Look at the ruler … there is a number pattern (look carefully at the tens and ones)
Which numbers are covered up?, we investigated different ways of solving this problem.
We also used dice to create ascending and descending number patterns.
This week we have been using our knowledge of circuits to create communication devices. The children designed and created a communication device, for an evil genius using circuits that light up. Well done year 4!
This week Year 2 began their journey on their Four Seasons Project. This project will take a full year to complete as we use our surroundings and times of year to collect research, evidence and experiences.
We named our first task… Autumn Awesomeness!
On our Autumn walk around our school grounds we collected deciduous and evergreen leaves as evidence of the seasonal changes before working in teams to create brilliant natural art.
Hebburn Lakes started off the 2022/23 South Tyneside Upper KS2 Football Season in excellent form at a wet and windy Hebburn Comprehensive School on Monday evening.
Captained by Jayden and featuring some very promising debut performances all over the pitch, the boys won each of their two games, scoring an impressive 10 goals in the process!
Congratulations to everyone in the squad and special thanks to Mr Todd for his support with the team – let’s keep this up and try to repeat last season’s title run!
Well done also to all of the players representing their schools on the night.
This week in our Maths lessons we have been looking at the part – whole model and how we can use it to complete our addition work. We have looked at all the commutative ways we can make the number and how we can show our answers using the model. We are absolutely amazing, even starting to use 3 and 4 parts to our model.
