We were thrilled to welcome GB Heptathlete Lucy Turner to Hedworth Lane to lead our sponsored sport event. The SSOC Crew and Sports Council did a wonderful job of coordinating this event.
Remember, all sponsorship money is to be in school by 6th October please.
Reception went on a ‘feely’ scavenger hunt at Forest School. We were looking for objects that were prickly, soft, hard, round, smooth and bendy.
Our topic in Reception at the moment is ‘All about me’. At Forest School this afternoon we collected our own natural materials and designed funny faces. We then had the idea to use sticks to make a body for our face. We also used clay to mould faces onto trees in our wooded area. The children got very creative with the materials they used and the faces they created.
Here are some photos of Classes 7, 8 and 9 enjoying their Teddy Bear Picnic this afternoon. Luckily, we were able to have some cake before the skies opened up!
As part of this term’s DT project, Year 5 and 6 have been thinking about ‘seasonality’ in cooking. First, they investigated which ingredients are readily available to us in each season. Then we tasted a selection of summer vegetables in order to plan our final dish…Pizza (who doesn’t love a pizza?) The children all tried things that they had never tasted before and there were some surprising results ! Finally, we created our Super Seasonal dish which included all of the new and exciting flavours that we had researched… Mmmm so tasty !
The Glee Club have worked really hard on their performance of the film Zombies this term. They put on an amazing show on Wednesday afternoon for the whole school. Well done to all of the children involved.
The children in Reception had a fabulous Early Years Graduation celebration yesterday. Well done everyone, you are all more than ready for Year 1!
Year 6 had a fabulous day at South Shields beach last week as part of our Adventurous Outdoor Education. We got to try out surfing and rock pooling. We collected shells and made our own Plaster of Paris versions to take back to school. We made pictures from the natural materials that we found. We also played games on the sand and had a massive sandcastle competition to finish off our day. Throw in some dolphin sightings, a few thunder & lightning storms as well as the glorious sunshine and ‘Charlie’ the Surf School dog and you could say that we had a pretty perfect (but very tiring) day.
