Getting Arctic Creative!

18th November 2024N Sikka

The children in 1 Red have been so enthusiastic about our Learning Means the World theme ‘Come Fly with me Arctic Circle’ and are loving learning about the habitats, people and animals that live in the Arctic. Today we learnt all about an Inuit (Eskimo) and it’s life within the Arctic circle. The children had Design and Technology lesson where they had to use appropriate materials to design and make their own Inuit. They discussed the different materials they used and used the associated vocabulary to describe them. Some of these Inuit’s may be found on the catwalk as their outfits are simply amazing!

Visit From Reverand Ian

3rd October 2024K Richardson

Yesterday Hebburn Lakes had a visit from Reverand Ian who is from St John’s church. He talked to the children about powerful animals and then moved on to talk about parts of our body that are powerful. He then discussed how our tongue is so powerful because of what we say and the impact it can have. The children had lots of ideas about the words we could use. Some of the suggestions were: beautiful, gorgeous, I love you and stay positive.
