As part of our ‘Come Fly With Me: Africa!’ theme we have enjoyed learning how to play the djembe drums.
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.

This half-term, we are having our Music lessons with Mr O. As part of our theme, we have been learning about African music. We have been focusing on our technique and keeping to the beat.
This week in DT, we made African style food and drink as part of our ‘Come Fly With Me Africa’ theme. We made pomegranate couscous and a banana and mango smoothie. WE carefully followed the recipe and at the end we got to taste the yummy couscous and smoothie!
The children explored what life was like during the early days of the Benin Kingdom. They explored what it would be like to trade items with other members of the community. After realising that trading in small communities would be difficult, the children began to trade with other groups in the class. They understood that this was how small villages grew into large settlements like the Benin Kingdom did.
As part of ‘anti-bullying week’, we have been learning about what it means to be respectful to others. The children came up with lots of mature and sensible answers, which they recorded and used to create a class ‘chain of respect’. Well done Year 4.
This half term, we have Mrs Smith teaching us French. Our topic is ‘Ma Famille’, my family. This week, we went through family members and practised how to say them and write them.
For Anti-Bullying Week, we discussed how we can show respect to each other and around the school. On coloured strips of paper, we wrote all the possible ways we could show respect and created a chain of respect. Then, we created respect posters, thinking about all the different ways we can show respect in our school.
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!
2 Blue Rock Star Champions!
4 Blue Rock Star Champions!
6 Blue Rock Star Champions!
1st Place – Cameron (6B)
2nd Place – Esme (5B)

Our KS2 School Council attended the Armistice Day service in Monkton Village this morning. We laid a wreath and a cross at the war memorial. Mrs Redfern and Miss Gibson were so proud of the respect that they showed throughout.
