The children in 1 Red loved Sports Day and it was made even more special by our parents coming to watch. We had a great time. We ran relays, egg and spoon race, bean bag balance, sack race and football skills. We loved showing off our amazing skills!
In our theme of ‘Royal Patrons’ we have been looking at how things were different in the olden days compared to now. We were especially interested in the old toys! We played with marbles, yo- yos, hoop and stick, egg and cup and lots more. We thought they were fun but we would probably get bored after a while! We discussed which of these toys our parents/grandparents played with and we have been researching this at home and sending in photos of our family’s old toys.
In our Jigsaw session this week we have been looking at different part of the male and female anatomy. We sorted pictures into a Venn diagram to explain what body parts we shared and which part were different. We have looked at the real names for these body parts and discussed our ever changing bodies.
1 Red and the rest of the school took part in Diversity Week. We looked at how we were all different and that we like different things, that the whole world has many cultures and beliefs and that we should be accepting and inclusive to all.
A few months ago the School Council began to think about ways we could improve Hebburn Lakes Primary School. They asked their friends in their class to give some ideas.
Once we had collated this we sat together and decided which of the ideas could be possible and not be too costly!
Once we had our top 5 they then went back their classes and asked their friends to tell them why these ideas were so important.
We collated the information and then had a meeting with Mrs Moody and Mrs Redfurn to discuss our ideas and also the reasons why we would like these ideas introduced to school.
Mrs Moody and Mrs Redfurn were very impressed with how the School Council discussed the ideas and how passionate they were!
We have agreed to meet in 2 weeks time to hear back from Mrs Moody and Mrs Redfurn so watch this space!
Attached are the ideas and some of the very valid reasons as to why they would like to introduce these improvements.
I was very impressed with our School Council, they have really shone in their mature manner and also shown real passion! Well done!

Year 1 and 7 Red went on a trip to the Centre For Life in Newcastle as part of our theme of Light and Dark. In the scientific part of the visit we experimented with moving cogs, built rockets, researched how astronauts live out in space (including how they go to the toilet!) and manned a space station. We also visited the planetarium and watched the story of Little Bear and saw all the constellations in our skies. In our geographical section of our trip we looked at animals from different continents and were able to name the continents and discover what the habitat is like on each continent. We then went into the play zone where we were able to create structures, shadows and role play. We had an amazing day and our behaviour was exemplary! We are so proud of you all!
