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)
3rd Place – Tyler-Jae (4B)
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.
We had a visit from Reverend Ian at St. John’s church. He talk about Remembrance Sunday. He mentioned how we remember things (like playing a memory game) and how it is so important to remember people who went to war. He then explained how in the bible it mentions peaceful people dying for good people and that we should not take peace for granted.
This half-term, we are learning how to play handball. We practised how to pass and intercept the ball in teams.
This week, Year 4 had a visit from the fire service to discuss the importance of fire safety. The children had a lovely session, listening and asking lots of questions!

29th October at Brinkburn CIO
30th October at Valley View Primary School

Sweet Caroline and the Football Boots is a fun, interactive, music-led performance for all the family with local musicians Ashleigh Lowes and Paige Temperley.
The songs in this performance have been co-created and inspired by girls football teams from across South Tyneside. The story is about the journey of “Sweet” Caroline, a small girl from South Tyneside who is desperate to be a footballer and who teams up with her older neighbour to take on the boys! It is an engaging story of discovering your talent, overcoming stereotypes, finding your team and having confidence in yourself, with a fun, uplifting message for a young audience.
As part of the ticket price, there will be themed food served after the show – and as it is football-themed, there has to be Bovril, sausage rolls and pies!
Running time – 45 minutes
Tickets can be purchased via Eventbrite link HERE

Yesterday Hebburn Lakes had a visit from Reverand Ian who is from St John’s church. He talked to the children about powerful animals and then moved on to talk about parts of our body that are powerful. He then discussed how our tongue is so powerful because of what we say and the impact it can have. The children had lots of ideas about the words we could use. Some of the suggestions were: beautiful, gorgeous, I love you and stay positive.
