Cheerleading at Hebburn Lakes

7th December 2023C Machin

For the first time this year we have had a cheerleading club. Children have been learning skills such as strengthening, conditioning, teamwork, and musicality. Cheerleading is always so much fun and a great way to motivate the children to move around through dance. As you can see from the photos below we have been practicing a team routine/chants along with learning new skills. The children have worked hard this term and have gained so much more confidence which enables them to be the best they can be.

Reception Little Movers!

6th December 2023N Sikka

We have had some wonderful feedback from the lead from Little Movers that I just had to share!

Little Movers has been working alongside Hebburn Lakes reception children since they started in September. The months of September and October were delivered by one of our wonderful class leaders Pip and she instantly loved all the reception children and their fantastic attitudes. From November the class delivery was taken over by myself who is the owner of Little Movers South Tyneside. With 20 years’ experience of working in schools I can honestly say I’ve been blown away with all the reception children this term.

Over the 5 weeks that I have been working with them they have all made excellent progress and their attitude and behaviour is outstanding. Over the last 5 weeks all children have shown the ability to learn new routines individually and as part of a team. This has been achieved very quickly due to their excellent listening and ability to clearly follow instructions. They have proved to be able to work excellently with partners whilst learning this half terms dance routine and very well in larger groups when taking part in games and relay races.

Each week new activities are introduced but always executed brilliantly by the children.

It’s been an absolute pleasure working alongside the staff and children this half term and I can’t wait to what can be achieved in the new year.

It’s been a busy half term in PE, we have covered many topics over the 3 key phases both at school and off site at various locations from Dance, Gymnastics. Linking, Bridges, Symmetry, Asymmetry, Swimming and much more. Feedback from groups of children has been really positive with them saying they enjoy it and are learning new skills. Here is just a snap shot of some of the work that has been going.

Come Fly With Me America!

17th November 2023Leah Hockings

This week in 5 Red we have enjoyed lots of creative activities linked to our new theme, “Come Fly With Me America”.

The children have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in line-dancing, looking at traditional and modern dance techniques. They followed the steps to a classic line dancing song, “Achy Breaky Heart” by Billy ray Cyrus, followed by a modern dance to Steps 5, 6, 7, 8. As you can see 5 Red thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We may have some future line-dancers in our midst! Yee-Haw!

We have also been learning about Native American culture this week. The children then enjoyed designing and creating their own dream catchers using different materials. The final results were beautiful and all so unique, like our children!
