1 Red have been looking at the Artist Cesar Manrique in Learning Means the World. Cesar was a famous artist, architect, designer and developer in Lanzarote. One of the things he was famous for was looking after his community and building and designing wind turbines. The children designed their own miniature wind turbines then actually used their design and technology skills to make their own pinwheels.
A very busy Spring 1 RE day at Hebburn Lakes!
There are lots of lovely activities on over half term throughout South Tyneside for a range of ages.
These include arts and crafts, outdoors, science, youth groups and lots more!
See posters below for more information.


















Today in Year 1, we have been looking at environmental issues, one of which was litter. We discussed how it is everybody’s responsibility to look after the environment and ways in which we could do so. We then went out litter picking! We are happy to say that our school looks amazing and that actually there wasn’t lots of litter to pick which means that Hebburn Lakes Primary School is amazing at looking after the environment!
1 Red are having great fun at home using the Math’s App ‘NUMBOTS’. They are using Mathematical skills previously learnt to apply to this great game and the children are really enthusiastic about beating their personal scores each day. It’s wonderful to see their enthusiasm and confidence with Math’s grow through a simple App. If your child hasn’t already used the App we highly recommend it in year one.




1 Red had great fun using the large apparatus in PE this week. They used their gross motor skills to help this them travel across, over and under various large apparatus. Whilst finding some elements challenging everyone gave each part a good go and had a wonderful time in the process.
