eVisa

2nd December 2024h teacher

The UK Government is replacing physical immigration documents with eVisas, a digital proof of immigration status.

Parents and guardians of children who are not British or Irish citizens, and whose children have either a biometric residence permit (BRP) card expiring on 31 December 2024, or a passport with an indefinite leave to remain ink stamp or vignette sticker, should take action to access their eVisa now, and do so on behalf of their children too.

An eVisa cannot be lost or stolen and can be accessed online by visa holders at any time to prove their rights in the UK. It’s free and does not effect your immigration status.

Year 4 – The Benin Kingdom

18th November 2024M Reilly

The children explored what life was like during the early days of the Benin Kingdom. They explored what it would be like to trade items with other members of the community. After realising that trading in small communities would be difficult, the children began to trade with other groups in the class. They understood that this was how small villages grew into large settlements like the Benin Kingdom did.

Respect in year 4

18th November 2024M Reilly

As part of ‘anti-bullying week’, we have been learning about what it means to be respectful to others. The children came up with lots of mature and sensible answers, which they recorded and used to create a class ‘chain of respect’. Well done Year 4.

4 Blue – Anti-Bullying Week

18th November 2024s begum

For Anti-Bullying Week, we discussed how we can show respect to each other and around the school.

Then, we created respect posters, thinking about all the different ways we can show respect in our school.

 

England Rocks TTRS Champions!

18th November 2024Victoria Cartmell

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!

 

A visit from Reverend Ian from St John’s Church

8th November 2024K Richardson

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.
