Sports Circuit Success!!

1st May 2024N Sikka

Today we took part in our ‘sponsored sports circuits’ in collaboration with ‘Sports for Schools’. The children were all extremely motivated and willing to have a go which made the whole event a huge success. Lucy and Chris who carried out the event commented on how amazing and committed the children were and that they were a credit to the whole school. The session was finished off with question and answer style assembly where the children found out all about Lucy’s path to becoming a Paralympian. The message from Lucy was ‘you can achieve your dreams if you just give 100% to all you do’. Well done Hebburn Lakes!

2 Red begin Going Wild!

30th April 2024L Phillips

This week Year 2 have started their new Learning Means the World theme, Going Wild!

To start our science based theme we collected photographs of our pets. We used guidance from the RSPCA to create posters of ‘How to looks after pets’.

The children showed just how knowledgeable and caring they are, and produced brilliant, eye-catching posters, full of good advice for pet owners.

Can you solve this Maths problem?

26th April 2024s begum

In today’s Maths lesson, we used our problem solving skills to find different solutions to the ‘Next Door Numbers’ problem. We had to arrange number cards from 0 to 9 in a certain way so that no two consecutive numbers were next to each other horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

There were lots of different ways that we solved this problem. How many different ways can you find?

Food Glorious Food! Reception Goldilocks and the Three Bears week.

19th April 2024K Richardson

As part of our LMTW theme ‘Food Glorious Food’ we have been looking at ‘sweet foods’   We have used the story ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ throughout the week including Drawing Club.  The children have been building the bears house using 3D shapes which was part of our maths this week. We talked about which shapes would be the best for building and why. They recreated the story, wrote captions, read instructions of how to make porridge and used their maths skills of full and empty to recreate the porridge scene, also using size to make sure the bears were in the corrects chairs! We tasted honey and talked about how it is a healthy sweet option and why.  We then ate a variety of sweet foods and timed how long it would take to eat them.  We talked about which took the longest/shortest times and why, using our science skills of how chocolate melts and why.  We looked at and discussed which sweet foods are healthy and which are not healthy, ask your children to tell you, they were experts!

 

Hospital Life in 1 Red

18th April 2024L Chisholm

This week we have been learning about life in a hospital during Elizabeth Blackwell times.  We found out that it was very dirty, had uncomfortable beds, not enough care givers and unsafe operations. We recreated a hospital ward in our class and the children took turns being the patient and the doctors.  It was very noisy and most of our patients died because we had no clean equipment.  We even had protesters telling us that women were not allowed to be doctors!
