What an amazing week we have had celebrating the Coronation. We made ‘natural crowns’, decorated tiles, created loose part crowns, red white and blue patterns, built palaces and so much more! Today we had a party outside and it was sunny!
Today we welcomed Karen from St Oswald’s Hospice for a special ‘Shaun the Sheep on the Tyne’ assembly.
Karen talked to us about the fantastic work the hospice do and the wonderful care they provide for children and adults with complex disabilities.
Some of you may remember the amazing Snowdog and Elmer art trails… This year’s trail will bring a flock of beautifully decorated Shaun the Sheep sculptures to the North East. The learning programme has been sponsored by Northumbrian Water.
The school council and eco-warriors have worked hard over the last few weeks, collecting ideas from their classmates and coming up with our very own Shaun design. Our next job is to begin the painting process and to bring their design to life!
The trail begins on 19th July 2023 and will run throughout the summer holidays, ending on 27th September.
Today we had a very special visit. One of our parents came into school to talk to the children about a storybook she has written. It is called ‘The Little Falcon’. It is a very special story that is based on her son. In the story the bird cannot fly and is supported by Jodi. Jodi is a fantastic lady who runs marathons etc for Toby and sends him the medals. Toby, the author’s son, has cerebral palsy and we talked about some of the equipment that he uses to support him so he can be included and involved in so many activities. It was a fabulous afternoon and the children were able to talk about similarities, differences and why it is so important to be a good friend and look out for each other. There is a photo of the QR code if you would like to buy a copy of this fabulous book 😊
This week we have read the Easter story and then used story stones to sequence it. We have made transient art Easter bunnies and eggs, used eggs to create number bonds of 10, bunny baskets and Easter nests and cards. We also used paint outside to create Easter eggs and wrote some amazing Easter captions, what a busy week 🐇❤️🥚🐇❤️🥚
Bronze Challenge – ‘Eyebrows’
What do they do?
What are they used for?
7 Red’s facts and answers:
They let you know what colour hair you have (the same).
They let people know how you are feeling.
They keep water and sweat out of your eyes.
They are all different sizes.
Can you think of any other uses?
Congratulations to our Year 6 children who returned from our residential trip at Thurston this afternoon. Every single one of you displayed all of the Navigators qualities we show in school to battle through everything the Cumbrian weather could throw at us. A full photographs showcase will be uploaded in due course but for now, here is one of the few blue-sky pictures we could take! Well done everyone!
School Council introduce the Hebburn Lakes chant!
We have a new chant, using ideas from all of the children… it is fabulous!
Reception had a fantastic World Book Day!
Everyone made so much effort and some amazing imagination went into some of the costumes. We decorated alien biscuits, made alien headbands, face masks and designed alien underpants! We drew using a Youtube tutorial and also tried to dance like an alien. In our STEM session we looked at how our bodies create electricity and created rockets using effervescent vitamin tablets. A truly fabulous day for us all.
We have been looking at our community and what we can do to make it better. 1 Red decided that the wind had blown everything towards our classroom and because we are a school community they wanted to clear the area. The children did a brilliant job just in time for the parents coming.
Year 1 hosted a coffee morning for their parents as part of their ‘unity in the Community’ theme. They shared reading, maths and physical games with their adults and it was a great success. Many of the parents said what a great time they had had and that they wished they could have stayed longer. Our children, as usual, were brilliant and showed off many off their skills and even introduced their parents to each other to increase their community. Well done Year 1!
