Unfortunately School Council could not attend the Armistice service in Monkton Village as it was on Saturday this year. Hebburn Lakes has still placed a wreath at the memorial. We will remember them ❤️
We have started our new Learning Means The World theme, Come Fly With Me Asia. First we are visiting India. We have looked at some Indian artefacts. We talked about the Sagan envelopes which people gave money in. We have been trying on Lengha dresses and some people have been given a Bindi. Everyone was given the opportunity for a Tikka (religious red dot) on their forehead and we have been saying ‘Namaste’ hello and ‘Shukriah’ thank you. Mrs Sikka also blessed us with some water. The children also learned about the celebration Raksha Bandhan, we then made some bracelets. Ask the children to tell you about the celebration 🇮🇳⭐️

As part of our Learning Means The World theme, ‘Happy to be me,’ we have been using our senses. We investigated some fruit and vegetables, then we decided to make some soup. We also talked about the Harvest festival and how we celebrate crops that are gathered from the fields and all the foods we eat. We also talked about how foods can be shared within the local community. This afternoon we tasted our soup, it was delicious! A big well done to children who weren’t sure if they would like the soup but gave it a try 🥕🧅🥦🫑
In Reception, for our activities on World Mental Health Day we decided to have a Yoga session and draw a character using a tutorial on YouTube. Relaxing and so much mindfulness!
This week Orla returned to school after spending a few months in Newcastle on the Shaun the Sheep Trial this summer. Phoebe, from 2 Blue, completed the whole trail, finding all 115 in the flock, and was rewarded with a lovely certificate which she shared in school today.
The Foundation of Light will be running family learning sessions at Hebburn Family Hub. The 8-week course allows adults to spend time thinking about their own and their child’s mental well-being. Topics covered include, communicating and managing emotions, self-esteem, resilience, anger and stress and is suitable for parents with children aged 7-11 years old.
As well as the 8 parent sessions a further session will run in which children can also attend and join in some fun activities.
