Last week we had a visit from Reverend Ian from St John’s church. He talked about when you get a gift and how you have to look after it. People believe we are a gift from God. It is also believed that light is a gift from God and that it is good. He then discussed light, such as the sun and the moon. How the sun affects seasons and how the moon affects the sea. After that Reverend Ian said that we shine a light and we need to shine our light on others. He asked the children how we could brighten up someone’s day? Some suggestions were play with your friends, share, give someone a hug, make someone laugh and be kind to everyone. Finally, he shared a prayer about our school.
As part of our Learning Means the World theme, May the Force Be With You, the children carried out a fair test to investigate forces on different surfaces. We discovered that smoother surfaces create less friction enabling the car to travel further faster.

The children in our KS2 Choir had a brilliant time performing their carols at Campbell Court residential home as well as Hebburn Comp’s Christmas fayre last week!
They showed courage, confidence and lots of Christmas spirit while singing their hearts out for the residents and staff.
We are so proud of them all!
A lovely message of thanks was sent in form Northumbria Police.
“While returning from Hebburn on foot patrol myself PCSO William Gladwell 6800 and PCSO Laura Birleson 6752 were surprised with a box of heroes from Lyla Reynolds year 3, Hebburn lakes Primary School.
She stated this was for all the staff at the station and on behalf of my team and everyone else at the station I would like to say a massive thank you.
Lyla was confident and extremely polite when she spoke with us, a credit to the school.”
A wonderful Christmas Cheer to start of the festive season, Thank you Lyla!
