Careers Day in Nursery!

21st June 2024Hayley Tampin

As part of our whole school Careers Day, nursery had some special visitors yesterday. We had a visit from a children’s occupational therapist, Alison, who told us about how she helps children develop independence.

We were also visited by a local author, Lauren Taylor (nee Davis), who shared her books ‘The Scoliosaurus’ and ‘The Rainbow Snail’ We loved the stories and hearing about the inspiration behind them. Lauren left us with some lovely craft activities too – a personalised banner including some of her characters and some snails for us to design our own shells. We had great fun getting creative!

We enjoyed role play activities, playing games and listening to stories about different jobs too.

Reception Maths: sharing and grouping

20th June 2024K Richardson

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.

 

1 Red Following Instructions

20th June 2024L Chisholm

In our English lessons this week we have been learning how to read, follow and write instructions.  We decided to make chocolate and syrup rice krispie cakes. We followed the instructions very carefully to ensure that our cakes turned out correctly.  We then ate them, which was our favourite part!

2 Blue’s DT project.

14th June 2024L Martin

This week in Learning Means the World, we have been designing and making finger puppets to help our Nursery children learn the rhyme ‘Two Little Sparrows’.

We chose bright coloured felt, and our new sewing skills to stitch the sides together, before adding eyes wings and even some feathers!

When we’d finished we took our puppets to the Nursery and sang the rhyme to the children….but that wasn’t the end!

 

The Nursery children were so inspired by our work that they made their own puppets from paper and staples, and came all the way around to Year 2 to show us!

It is lovely to be able to share news about our children’s achievements out-of-school and Alfie in 6 Blue has had some brilliant football achievements to shout about. Alfie plays as goalkeeper for Hebburn Town Under 11s and his team has enjoyed a very successful season, resulting in promotion this year. Alfie was also awarded ‘Man-of-the-match’ in the last game of the season and he also won ‘Save-of-the-season’ too! What a fantastic achievement Alfie and keep up the brilliant work – well done to Hebburn Town Under 11s too!

 

 

 

 

 

The Great Hebburn Lakes (Year 4) sewing bee!

This week the children have been trying their hand at sewing. This was no easy task, but like the true Adventurers that we are we gave it everything we had. Our bravery, resilience and determination led us in the right direction!
