School Council News!

30th June 2022K Richardson

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 on the best trip ever!

17th June 2022L Chisholm

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!

 

Holi Celebration

17th June 2022N Sikka

This week the children had a fantastic opportunity to take part in R.E workshops based around the Indian festival of colour, ‘Holi’.  Kalpesh from K’z Dance Entertainment Ltd taught all the children some traditional Indian dances and discussed with them the  meaning of the Holi festival.  At the end of the day the whole school came together and performed the dances taught earlier in the day, the children and staff had some wonderful moves!  At the end of the performance everyone took part in throwing colourful dyes at one another to celebrate Holi, just like it is carried out in India.
