Yesterday Hebburn Lakes had a visit from Reverand Ian who is from St John’s church. He talked to the children about powerful animals and then moved on to talk about parts of our body that are powerful. He then discussed how our tongue is so powerful because of what we say and the impact it can have. The children had lots of ideas about the words we could use. Some of the suggestions were: beautiful, gorgeous, I love you and stay positive.
This week is School Diversity Week. In Reception we have been celebrating our differences. We drew rainbow people, created rainbow bunting and also drew around our friends outside and made them into rainbows with chalk.
This week in maths we have been sharing and grouping. The children have done a fabulous job. They have problem solved, explained their reasons and ensured all groups are equal. They also shared sweets between themselves and their friends, again using their problem solving and reasoning skills throughout. Of course they ate the sweets after! Ask them to show you their skills at home.
