Book Day in 2 Red

17th March 2025L Phillips

Another great Book Day in Hebburn Lakes!

2 Red loved spending the week looking at fractured fairytales and created their own very imaginative versions of Cinderella.

We then ended the week with a whole range of fairytale-themed activities such as a character hunt around the school, a decorated door competition, reading in the Hansel and Gretel Hobbit Hut, performing like fairytale characters in the Magical Forest performance area, challenges of building houses of sticks and bridges of paper, and many, many more fun activities!

2 Blue and the 2025 Book Week

17th March 2025L Chisholm

For our book week this year we have chosen Cinderella as our feature book.  We wrote a fractured fairytale about Cinderella where we changed an important part of the story, she may have lost her purse instead of a glass slipper or she may have gone swimming instead of to the ball.  The children had lots of fun coming up with their own version.  We the invited our parents in to read with us which we thought was amazing.  We ended book week with a day of dressing up and all things fairytale.  We created bridges, castles and beanstalks in the hall, read stories in the witches cottage, performed our own stories in the performance area, went on scavenger hunts to find letters to make words and hunting down 46 different fairytale creature around the school.  We have had an amazing week and can’t wait to see what next years theme is!

2 Red’s trip to Hartlepool Marina

14th March 2025L Phillips

Year 2 were lucky enough to visit the real Royal Navy ship, HMS Trincomalee in Hartlepool Marina. They braved the weather like real pirates and boarded the 200 year old ship. On board they found out all about how ships were run and the living conditions for the crew. They then visited the various museums to learn about Terry Deary’s Horrible Histories of Pirates, Diving Deep amongst shipwrecked treasures and lots more about the life of important people and ships in history.
