Dear Community,
Preparations for Christmas are likely to be well underway in most households, with only 38 more sleeps to go until the big day. Christmas can be a very stressful time for children, young people and adults with Autism so I would just like to draw your attention to the National Autistic Society’s website which has lots of useful information and strategies which may help us to cope better during the busy festive period.
I really do hope that you find the links helpful. Just click on the link below for more information.
Take good care.

Unfortunately School Council could not attend the Armistice service in Monkton Village as it was on Saturday this year. Hebburn Lakes has still placed a wreath at the memorial. We will remember them ❤️
Mrs Moody held a special assembly today ahead of Remembrance Day this weekend on Saturday 11th November. Remembrance Day marks the day that World War One ended, at the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month in 1918. The children learned about why poppies are such an important part of our tributes to those lost in battle and we also observed a period of silence to respect those affected by wars past and present. A wreath of remembrance will also be kindly left at the war memorial in Hebburn on behalf of Hebburn Lakes Primary School by Mrs Richardson.
To start our new Learning means the world theme ‘Cry Freedom’, 7 Blue listened to The Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughn-Williams. We discussed what pictures the music created in our minds and how it made us feel. The soaring melody reminded us of bird’s soaring through the sky so the children wrote a Haiku poem called ‘Freedom of the Birds’
In 7 Blue we have been creating a dance based around slavery. We explored different dance motifs then added our own movements to create our own dance piece based on the idea of being bound by slavery and longing for freedom.
In 7 Blue we have been exploring the history and origins of slavery around the world. Today we found out that slavery and the slave trade existed in Africa for over 1000 years. The children took part in a role play, becoming news-reporters and presented some ‘breaking news’ to explain what had happened to the African population.
