Reception have been very busy enjoying the fabulous sunny weather! They have also made some fabulous Easter craft!
Reception have been showing off their independent reading, writing and maths skills. We have been reading words, hunting for them outside and writing sentences. We are using skittles, counters and objects to investigate number bonds of 10. We have decorated pots and then sprinkled cress seeds in to make cress heads. We talked about what the seeds need so that they will grow. We have some new additions to Reception. Everyone was so excited to see the frogspawn. We will be investigating how they change, grow and how we can look after them.
What a fabulous couple of hours we all had yesterday! L:ots of our children’s adults came to our stay and play. We are so proud of how Reception children have progressed socially and academically and letting them show everyone these fabulous skills was a pleasure.
A very busy Spring 1 RE day at Hebburn Lakes!

This week, Year 4 put on an amazing performance for their assembly about rocks and fossils. A super well done everyone!
We have had a perfect pirate week in Reception! Lots of pirate creations such as hats, maps, ships and so much more. Amazing combining of groups, reading, building and spelling words and reading our everyday words. Our sentence writing is developing as well as our independence ☠️⚓️⭐️❤️
As part of our Land Ahoy theme we have been looking at different types of boats and how they move. We looked at pushing and pulling and decided that we would design and build a transport for our boat which would then be used to launch our boat successfully into the water. We used a range of materials and had great fun designing and redesigning our prototypes. We realised that some ideas may sound good but when we tried them they did not work so we had to work as a team to problem solve and complete our mission.
Today in Maths the children have been using their oracy skills to explain how to solve problems using their knowledge of multiplication.
2 Red were given a design brief to use their scientific thinking to plan and make a boat transporter for it to travel on land.
After doing some research and watching boat launches, they worked in teams to try out and problem solve their design ideas.
They considered push and pull forces, how things move, as well as using prior and wider knowledge about boats, movement and floating.
This week, we had a special visit from a geologist. We explored and learnt lots about fossils. We all had an awesome time!
