Mental Health Week 2023

9th February 2023N Fada

 

The theme of this Years Mental Health Week is ‘Let’s Connect’. Connection is vital for our wellbeing.  Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections and Miss Smith from the Healthy Minds Team came into school to today and delivered and assembly to encourage our children (and staff) to connect with others in healthy, rewarding, and meaningful ways.

To celebrate Mental Health Week in school and to raise awareness of the importance of children’s mental health we have completed lots of different activities in class through out the week.

 

 

Upper Key Stage Two Girls Score Their First Points!

7th February 2023C Campbell

It was a successful afternoon overall today at a sunny Hebburn Comprehensive School for our Year 5/6 Girls’ Football Team.

The girls are still at an early stage of their development as a team, but we won one and drew one of our four league games today.

Well done girls – you were all awesome!

 

School Council and Eco Warriors Bird Feeder Project

7th February 2023K Richardson

Last week the School Council and Eco Warriors worked together on a bird feeder project. We had a visit from Groundworks who talked to the children about visiting the tip, why you would go and what the children had dropped off.  We then discussed how we deal with rubbish and recycling and the importance of 3 R’s –  Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
We learned the importance of keeping the earth happy and the damage of climate change.  The teams made bird feeders from recyclable material and then we hung them around our gardens!  The two groups worked so well together and were a credit to us all.

 

Y5- Roman day!

2nd February 2023Victoria Cartmell

Today, Year 5 have immersed ourselves into our Roman day!

We began with making our own laurel wreaths, before taste-testing some of the ‘exotic fruits’ which the wealthy emperors would have been lucky enough to have feasted upon!

Finally, we built our own catapults, using wooden lollypop sticks, elastic bands and spoons. We had a competition in the hall, to see who could fire their catapults the furthest; focusing on forces such as tension and gravity, to propel objects across a distance.
