In DT we designed and created a congratulations card for the winner of the class election that took place just before half-term. We designed a card that had a moving part, using levers and linkages. Once we finished creating our cards, we evaluated them. We discussed what we liked about our designs, the challenges we faced and how we would improve or change our design if we did it again.

This week, we have started our new theme, ‘Law and Order’. For our first lesson, we had to reach an agreement on who had which commodity whilst stranded in a desert. We had to choose from a bottle of water, bananas, a tent, a mobile phone and a multi-tool. Once we had made the decision, we had to decide which commodity was the most valuable to us and rank them in order of importance. We also had to pick our leader, who then explained our decision to the rest of the class.
For ‘Children’s Mental Health Week’ we participated in a yoga and wellbeing workshop. We also created a positive affirmation poster and a small pocket book with positive comments about ourselves.
Safer Internet Day is a global campaign to promote the safe and responsible use of technology to help create a better internet. The year’s theme is ‘Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online’.
Using the internet safely and positively is a key message that we promote at Hebburn Lakes Primary School and celebrating Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity for us to re-emphasise the online safety messages we deliver throughout the year.
Our Computing Lead, Miss Begum led an assembly to promote online safety and why it is important. Later on in the week, we will be getting involved with activities aimed at helping us to understand how to keep safe online and how to make the internet better.
