Dear Parents, Carers and Children,
With the summer break fast approaching, I would like to remind you that KOOTH, commissioned locally by South Tyneside Council to provide instant access to free and anonymous mental health support for all those 10 to 25 who live in South Tyneside, will still be running when schools close for the summer.
KOOTH can be accessed online via

Take good care this summer.

UKS2 were given the opportunity to take part in this year’s ‘STEMFEST Net Zero’ event, to raise the aspirations and opportunities available to our young people within the North East.
Throughout the day, we were immersed in STEM-based industries, who showed us a range of different career pathways and what we could expect to see in the future – including zero-emissions transport and a futuristic robot trolley!
We were able to experience it, play with it, use it and develop it.. skills we have been integrating in our own school learning.
We had an amazing day and are truly inspired by what the future holds for us!
Last week we had a fantastic time in Thurston and made memories to last a lifetime!
After being allocated our teams for the week which included Langdale, Yewdale, Eskdale and Grizedale, each group set out on their adventures. Our days were jam packed with activities including ghyll scrambling, abseiling, hiking, canoeing, paddle boarding, tree climbing, cave exploration and jumping from the jetty. Each night was concluded with some well deserved time to relax and socialise in the Barn.
The children were a credit to the school, showed true determination and resilience and most importantly have had fantastic experiences that will stay with them.
A few months ago the School Council began to think about ways we could improve Hebburn Lakes Primary School. They asked their friends in their class to give some ideas.
Once we had collated this we sat together and decided which of the ideas could be possible and not be too costly!
Once we had our top 5 they then went back their classes and asked their friends to tell them why these ideas were so important.
We collated the information and then had a meeting with Mrs Moody and Mrs Redfurn to discuss our ideas and also the reasons why we would like these ideas introduced to school.
Mrs Moody and Mrs Redfurn were very impressed with how the School Council discussed the ideas and how passionate they were!
We have agreed to meet in 2 weeks time to hear back from Mrs Moody and Mrs Redfurn so watch this space!
Attached are the ideas and some of the very valid reasons as to why they would like to introduce these improvements.
I was very impressed with our School Council, they have really shone in their mature manner and also shown real passion! Well done!
