A great first week back in Reception!

10th January 2025K Richardson

A fabulous first week back in Reception! Our new theme is ‘Ticket to Ride’ and we have been learning about different reasons why we would use a ticket. We’ve looked at lots of the different tickets children have brought in, designed our own and even had a hunt for golden tickets! We’ve drawn and built transport, used our maths skills and so much more! ⭐️❤️

Back with a Bang!

10th January 2025N Sikka

1 Red have returned to school after the Christmas break very keen and eager to learn. In maths the children have working on place value within 20 and have been playing independently with a range of resources to support their learning. In Learning Means the World our new theme is ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat.’ We have been using a compass to plot and navigate points around the world and looking at the seven different continents and the countries within each one. We have used lots of role play to support our learning in both LMTW and English around the theme of pirates. The children have really enjoyed this aspect of learning and are linking it to other aspects of the curriculum and within their independent work. In PE we are exploring dance using our bodies to embrace rhythm and movement.

Geography with singing!

10th January 2025ashleigh clark

Today in our geography lesson, we looked at the 7 continents and the 5 oceans. We learned two songs to help us remember all of the continents and oceans. We then were able to identify where the continents are on the map and as a challenge, we located the oceans. If you ask us, we will be able to sing you our songs!

Celebrate good times!

Today was our final assembly of the Autumn term and we celebrated in true Hebburn Lakes fashion. We commended all of our amazing children on their fantastic attendance; we sang our favourite Christmas songs and Mrs Moody awarded a child from each class a Headteacher’s award for exceptional achievements across the term. We finished with saying a fond farewell to the wonderful Mrs Barrett, who is leaving us to enjoy her retirement after 25 years of service in the school community. We will miss her lots but wish her well for the future.
