Please bring your bike to school today. Make sure it is in a bike shed ready for inspection. Any minor faults will be fixed.
Year 6 were scientists this afternoon as they carried out an investigation into the effects of air resistance. We had already learned that air resistance is a type of friction and today we looked at it in action. The children planned a fair test involving parachutes of different sizes. By timing their descents, we were able to conclude that objects with a larger surface area generate more air resistance. This is great news for skydivers! Super teamwork everyone!
As part of our ‘A World of Bright Ideas‘ theme, 6 Blue have recently been creating their own range of greetings cards. We looked into the meanings of the terms ‘copyright’ and ‘trademark’ before planning our designs. The children printed the cards using embossed polystyrene sheets, rollers and block printing ink to create some very professional-looking end products. Well done everyone – here is a sample of some of the cards!
As part of our ‘A World of Bright Ideas’ theme, Year 6 have been busy planning a recipe, pitching it to the class and eventually creating a healthy snack. 6 Blue made breakfast bars and 6 Red decided upon fruit kebabs. The end results were fantastic! Well done everyone!
Within our Learning Means the World theme, we were tasked with producing and performing an accompaniment to a piece of music. We all enjoyed playing the percussion instruments and performing to our class.
Well done to those children who achieved 100% attendance last week!
Hebburn Lakes started off the 2022/23 South Tyneside Upper KS2 Football Season in excellent form at a wet and windy Hebburn Comprehensive School on Monday evening.
Captained by Jayden and featuring some very promising debut performances all over the pitch, the boys won each of their two games, scoring an impressive 10 goals in the process!
Congratulations to everyone in the squad and special thanks to Mr Todd for his support with the team – let’s keep this up and try to repeat last season’s title run!
Well done also to all of the players representing their schools on the night.
Mornings really are the best part of the day, as this morning’s lovely sunrise over Hebburn and South Tyneside proves. What a lovely way to start the week.
