Today we made ancient Greek pancakes in 7 Blue. We found out that this tasty pancake would have been a treat for ancient Greeks visiting the theatre.
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.
For Mental Health Week, 7 Blue have been learning about feelings and emotions and why it is important to look after our Mental Health. We then took part in a yoga workshop where we made yoga poses to match our emotions. We ended the week writing our own Mental Health and Wellbeing acrostic poems.
We have been learning to edit and redraft our work in English. The children worked in pairs and travelled around the class visiting 4 different Editing Stations; Grammar Grove, Punctuation Point, Spelling Square and Add More Avenue. Everyone made improvements to their writing. Well Done 7 Blue!
See attached the latest from our School Council! They have been very busy and have lots to get organised.
7 Blue have thoroughly enjoyed our theme ‘May the Force be with you’ and learned all about forces. They made a swing or a moving vehicle and recognised that you can make something start or stop moving when you push or pull it. They really enjoyed setting up their own investigation to find out the effects friction had on a toy car travelling on different surfaces. They found out that the smoother surfaces created less friction for the toy car and the rougher surfaces generated more friction. The children considered how they were going to make the test fair and decided to make sure they started the car at the same point on the ramp and only changed the surface that the car travelled on.
7 Blue have learned all about magnetic forces and the relevance of the magnetic North and South Pole. The children were able to predict whether two magnets would attract or repel each other based on which poles were facing each other then worked together to group a variety of materials based on whether they were magnetic or not. We had lots of fun making our own magnetic games to play too! Well done 7 Blue scientists!
