Infant Sports Day
Our Infant Sports Day was a big success. We had a great afternoon together. Bubbles were socially distanced from one another but that did not spoil the fun!
The PE PASSPORT
Hedworth Lane are excited to launch our PE PASSPORT resource for the Summer Term as part of the School Sports Network Road2Recovery initiative.
This fun resource has been created to help spearhead the recovery of physical activity levels of young people within South Tyneside. This simple set of challenges will encourage young people to become involved in more physical activity, try new and different activities and ultimately improve both their physical and mental health.
The resource is an individual booklet for each child which resembles a traditional passport. This includes the inside page being laid out in the same manner of a passport personal details section, allowing each child to personalise it with their own details and photo.
Within the passport there are 24 different challenges to complete over the rest of the Summer Term. Your child should aim to complete as many challenges as possible in order to earn either their Bronze, Silver or Gold Wings which comes in the form of a certificate. This resource will be given out in the next couple of weeks so that you can work towards challenges during the half term holiday.
The variety of challenges have been set so that some are to be completed within school and some at home. We hope that this encourages your family to build foundations of long lasting and sustainable physical activity habits and ultimately increase the likelihood of our young people meeting their target of 60 active minutes per day.
Whenever your child has completed an activity outside of school, you can initial beside the box and school will stamp the activity to show it has been completed. See example here.
Best wishes,
Karen Simpson, PE and Sports Co-Ordinator
Meet our new SSOC (School Sports Organising Crew)!
These children have been selected as a special set of young people who are going to work together to get more children at Hedworth Lane Primary School taking part in PE, playing sport and having fun. They will keep the role until they leave us as Year 6 students in 2022. Watch out for information on our website linkedΒ to their first mission: keeping active at Easter!
Dear Parents and Carers,
We would love to have invited you into school this year to see our Christmas Nativity. Sadly, that was not to be. We have decided to send you some Christmas cheer from all the boys and girls in Year 1 and Year 2. They have been singing some Christmas songs and we have recorded them so we can share them with you.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Mrs Sanderson, Mrs Silvanus and Miss Donaldson.

Maths Week England
Class 1 have worked so hard this week on their Times Tables and have managed to scrape themselves right up to the top of the MWE Rock Out 2020 league table from all the way down in second last place!
Furious last minute games have been going on all day in Years 5 and 6 to try and beat one another, but at the close of the school day… Class 1 has pipped the others to the post!
Will there be any last minute weekend warriors that can changeΒ the stats before the battle closes Saturday at 7.30pm? Or can another class come storming back through the charts…?Β OnlyΒ times tablesΒ will tell
