Today Reception and Key Stage One to start off our Christmas celebrations we were fortunate to have a theatre company come in to school to perform the pantomime Aladdin. We all had an amazing time, laughed out loud, had a cheeky little snack and to top it off we got to see Mrs Sikka and Miss Clark dance with the cast.
Our R.E. day this term looked at how light is used as a symbol in all religions. Diwali with the lamps, Hanukkah with the Menorah, and Christianity with advent. We found that Christianity uses light as a representation of hope and joy. We made a Christingle and talked about what each part represented. The orange = the world, the ribbon = Gods love, the candle = Jesus, the sticks = the four seasons and the sweet treats = all of Gods creations. We enjoyed creating our Christingle and were excited to bring them home to talk about them with our grown ups.
In 2 blue this week we have been using computers and texts to research our favourite hero from our theme ‘Zero To Hero’. We wrote down all of the information we thought was important. We then went to the computer suite where we were shown how to use ‘Word’ to produce our writing. We were then taught how to change the size, type and colour of the font and how to search for, and insert a picture of our hero. We really enjoyed using these skills to make our work more interesting.
The UK Government is replacing physical immigration documents with eVisas, a digital proof of immigration status.
Parents and guardians of children who are not British or Irish citizens, and whose children have either a biometric residence permit (BRP) card expiring on 31 December 2024, or a passport with an indefinite leave to remain ink stamp or vignette sticker, should take action to access their eVisa now, and do so on behalf of their children too.
An eVisa cannot be lost or stolen and can be accessed online by visa holders at any time to prove their rights in the UK. It’s free and does not effect your immigration status.
We have been looking at the artist Christy Brown. We found out that he had Cerebral Palsy and that his only working limb was his left leg. He created his fantastic drawings with his left foot. We were so inspired that we decided to have a go ourselves and we soon found out that it was harder than we thought it was going to be. Christy Brown is certainly a hero!
2 Red showed true perseverance and determination during Science this week.
They took a leaf out of Thomas Edison’s book and investigated how to build a complete circuit. After lots of trial and error, problem solving, and teamwork, they all managed to successfully complete the circuit and light up the bulb.
They talked like scientists throughout the lesson asking ‘what if…’ questions, making predictions and drawing conclusions.
Over the last week we have been looking at all the different components of a circuit, bulbs, batteries, wires and switches. Today we used our knowledge to create a working circuit. We used the crocodile clips to attach our components and watched what happened when the circuit was broken. We created a simple circuit and then drew a technically correct drawing using the correct symbols for each component.
This week, Hebburn Lakes have taken part in an epic battle of Times Tables, against the rest of England!
We have worked incredibly hard to earn coins and points, increasing our times table knowledge and speedy recall!
Whilst we didn’t come top of the England leaderboard, we have had some friendly competition within school- across each Key Stage!
After an intense battle, with the leaderboard constantly changing, our top Rock Star champions were:
2 Blue – Key Stage 1
4 Blue – Lower Key Stage 2
6 Blue – Upper Key Stage 2
A huge congratulations to all the children for their achievement!
In addition, we have three individual Rock Star shout-out’s, to those children who reached the top three spots, in the overall school:
1st – Cameron (6 Blue)
2nd – Esme (5 Blue)
3rd- Tyler-Jae (4 Blue)
Well done to all of the children, who took part and remember, keep practicing those times tables; they really do help to support your Maths learning, skills and progress!
