As part of our ‘Unity In The Community’ theme we have been looking at the work of Cesar Manrique. We looked his influence in Lanzarote, his art and his wind sculptures. We decided to make our own wind sculpture and created our very own Whirlygig! We think you’ll agree they look fantastic!
We have started having the amazing Mr O join us on a Tuesday morning for music and singing. We looked at counting beats and rhythmn. It was great fun and we can’t wait for next week!

During RE day Year 1 were looking at how Jesus is special to Christians. We looked at how Jesus was special to God and Jesus returned that feeling by making us feel that we are special too. We found out about the stories Jesus told and how they impact on our lives. We also looked at some symbols that were important in the Christian faith.
We looked at the best materials to make a house. We discussed sticks, glass, bricks, metal, cloth and we decided that bricks were the best as they are strong and waterproof. We drew a plan in our art books and labelled with the materials we would use. We then made a prototype model of a house using junk modelling resources. We worked as part of a team and combined both our ideas to make the finished product.
Safer Internet Day is a global campaign to promote the safe and responsible use of technology to help create a better internet. The year’s theme is ‘Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online’.
Using the internet safely and positively is a key message that we promote at Hebburn Lakes Primary School and celebrating Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity for us to re-emphasise the online safety messages we deliver throughout the year.
Our Computing Lead, Miss Begum led an assembly to promote online safety and why it is important. Later on in the week, we will be getting involved with activities aimed at helping us to understand how to keep safe online and how to make the internet better.
