We are Internet Legends 🌎 #BILD2024

15th February 2024Michelle Watson

Class 3 took part in the Be Internet Legends 2024 assembly again this year to mark Safer Internet Day in school and think about how to make smart decisions when we go online . We met all of the familiar characters in the Be Internet Legends family and thought a lot about Internet scams and how they use different ways to hook you in. We are definitely now more aware of the tactics that online scammers use and we can pass this information onto our friends and family so they can stay safe online too. We followed this up with a lesson on how online content can change people’s thoughts, feelings and behaviour both positively and negatively. We even got a shout out from the assembly and we definitely felt positive about hearing our school mentioned in front of so many people. Well done Hedworth Lane!

 

Animation magic 📷

24th January 2024Michelle Watson
Year 3/4 had a fantastic time making Lego models to use as part of their Stop Frame Animation topic in computing. They worked collaboratively in teams, each taking on roles to successfully create their animation. They carefully made slight movements to their scene and characters, taking photographs after each adjustment. They used the app StikBot to create their animation masterpieces which allowed them to use green screen technology to use exciting backgrounds as settings. Did you know? 12 pictures are equivalent to 1 second of film! We are excited to share the finished animation with you soon. StikBot is a free app that the children can enjoy to create more amazing animations which we would love to see should they decide to have a go at home.

Hedworth Lane Poetry Slam

27th October 2023Michelle Watson

Hedworth Laners went head-to-head this morning in our very own poetry Slam. There were all sorts of topics being discussed from ‘Space’ and ‘School’ to ‘Homework’ and ‘Halloween’. We loved writing our poems on a theme that got us fired up and all of the pupils who performed absolutely blew us away! Well done KS2.
