We have been looking at the artist Christy Brown. We found out that he had Cerebral Palsy and that his only working limb was his left leg. He created his fantastic drawings with his left foot. We were so inspired that we decided to have a go ourselves and we soon found out that it was harder than we thought it was going to be. Christy Brown is certainly a hero!
2 Red showed true perseverance and determination during Science this week.
They took a leaf out of Thomas Edison’s book and investigated how to build a complete circuit. After lots of trial and error, problem solving, and teamwork, they all managed to successfully complete the circuit and light up the bulb.
They talked like scientists throughout the lesson asking ‘what if…’ questions, making predictions and drawing conclusions.
Over the last week we have been looking at all the different components of a circuit, bulbs, batteries, wires and switches. Today we used our knowledge to create a working circuit. We used the crocodile clips to attach our components and watched what happened when the circuit was broken. We created a simple circuit and then drew a technically correct drawing using the correct symbols for each component.
This week, Hebburn Lakes have taken part in an epic battle of Times Tables, against the rest of England!
We have worked incredibly hard to earn coins and points, increasing our times table knowledge and speedy recall!
Whilst we didn’t come top of the England leaderboard, we have had some friendly competition within school- across each Key Stage!
After an intense battle, with the leaderboard constantly changing, our top Rock Star champions were:
2 Blue – Key Stage 1
4 Blue – Lower Key Stage 2
6 Blue – Upper Key Stage 2
A huge congratulations to all the children for their achievement!
In addition, we have three individual Rock Star shout-out’s, to those children who reached the top three spots, in the overall school:
1st – Cameron (6 Blue)
2nd – Esme (5 Blue)
3rd- Tyler-Jae (4 Blue)
Well done to all of the children, who took part and remember, keep practicing those times tables; they really do help to support your Maths learning, skills and progress!
2 Blue Rock Star Champions!
4 Blue Rock Star Champions!
6 Blue Rock Star Champions!
1st Place – Cameron (6B)
2nd Place – Esme (5B)
3rd Place – Tyler-Jae (4B)
We had a visit from Reverend Ian at St. John’s church. He talk about Remembrance Sunday. He mentioned how we remember things (like playing a memory game) and how it is so important to remember people who went to war. He then explained how in the bible it mentions peaceful people dying for good people and that we should not take peace for granted.
We took part in our first gymnastics PE session with the coach. We looked at the correct form and posture needed to create a safe and controlled forward, pencil, tuck and backwards roll. We had a great time and can’t wait for next week to learn new skills.
In our theme of ‘Zero To Hero’ we have been looking at Thomas Eddison who created the lightbulb and how we use this invention daily. We then looked at how we can make lightbulbs and other equipment work using electricity with mains power and battery power. We looked at different batteries and thought about what toys we had at home that needed batteries to work.
If you are ever stuck on how to add 3 digits together just ask one of us! We are amazing and found that we could use our 10’s frames to place each number. We then realised that once we had made them the other number was easy to see. We are experts now and were able to answer some mastery questions.
Bitesize Shows are back for October Half-Term
Sweet Caroline and the Football Boots by We Make Culture is coming to South Tyneside.
29th October at Brinkburn CIO

Sweet Caroline and the Football Boots is a fun, interactive, music-led performance for all the family with local musicians Ashleigh Lowes and Paige Temperley.
The songs in this performance have been co-created and inspired by girls football teams from across South Tyneside. The story is about the journey of “Sweet” Caroline, a small girl from South Tyneside who is desperate to be a footballer and who teams up with her older neighbour to take on the boys! It is an engaging story of discovering your talent, overcoming stereotypes, finding your team and having confidence in yourself, with a fun, uplifting message for a young audience.
As part of the ticket price, there will be themed food served after the show – and as it is football-themed, there has to be Bovril, sausage rolls and pies!
Running time – 45 minutes
Tickets can be purchased via Eventbrite link HERE
Get yourself booked up and come and see the fabulous story of ‘Sweet’ Caroline… (Ba-ba-baaaah)
As part of R.E. we have been learning about Moses and how important he is within the Jewish religion. We looked at the early years of Moses and designed a slider to show Moses floating along the river in his basket. We then read the story of the Burning Bush and how God instructed him to go and release the Israelites. After that, we looked at how Passover is celebrated and we designed our our Sedar plate then thought about all the ways we are thankful and added tham to our Menorah candles.
