Well done to this week’s winners of our popular ‘Maths Problem Of The Week‘ activity. Darcie used her knowledge of addition and subtraction to calculate a missing value in a number sentence and Ellie was able to use her place value skills to correctly identify the missing number of tens across an interval of 400. Well done girls!
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.
Today in English, 3 Blue have been creating their own jungle landscapes using paint. Our class book (which we don’t yet know the name of as Miss Clark won’t tell us) describes an old man dreaming about “a jungle full of wild forest animals” so we decided to have a go and create our own jungle landscapes. We looked at two jungle landscape artists: Henri Rousseau and Paul Gaugin for inspiration. We were so proud of out work and had so much fun!
Well done to Emillie and James who were the latest winners of our maths problem of the week! Emillie was able to apply her place value knowledge to say which of two numbers was closer to another value. James used his subtracting skills to calculate the difference between two pieces of data. They were just two of the many correct entries so well done to everyone who took part.
See attached the latest from our School Council! They have been very busy and have lots to get organised.
We have just finished our current theme- May The Force Be With You. We have been learning all about forces. We have been learning about pushes, pulls, gravity and magnetism. We even created our own maths fishing game using magnets and paper clips. We searched for magnetic and non- magnetic metals and recorded our findings on Venn diagrams. We also designed and made our own moving vehicle to investigate which surface would slow them down. It if safe to say we have all really enjoyed learning all about forces.
Dear Community,
Just a little reminder that if one of your children or a child that you care for has received an Autism diagnosis, then you can contact the EarlyBird Team and enroll onto a really informative and supportive course to help you understand more about Autism and get lots of tips and ideas from the course providers and other parents and carers.
Please see the attached flyer for the up and coming Information Meeting dates (in green) and just pop along as there is no need to book a place.
Take Care
