A well-deserved award this morning for our excellent children. We were presented with an ‘HSBC Smart Money 2024′ award this morning for our commitment to developing pupils’ money skills and financial awareness across the whole school. Thanks to Ashley and Fatima from HSBC for a super assembly and for their support.
Huge congratulations to our wonderful pupil Niall, who has is celebrating his recent success at making it through some tough trials to make it onto the South Tyneside U11 Boys District Football Squad for next year.
Year 6 had an absolutely fantastic time at their end of year Supersoaker – a treat for all of the hard work and effort that they put in during their SATs. There were soaking children (and teachers) everywhere ha ha. Well done to all of the Year 6s this year. Good luck in your next chapter from everyone here at Hedworth Lane… You’ll be brilliant !
Two teams entered the First Lego League: Discover Tournament representing Hedworth Lane this year and what a fantastic job they did too! The teams gave up some of their lunchtimes to get competition ready and thought of some excellent ideas to bring their hobbies to as wide an audience as possible using technology. The Lego Buds thought about using VR to make horse riding more accessible to all and The Shark Heads used the idea of synaesthesia to make listening to music a more sensory experience. The walked away with both ‘The Judges Choice’ and ‘The Challenge Solution’ awards on the day too. Brilliant job everyone… Very well done!
Our UKS2 classes had a great, informative day an Newcastle’s Centre For Life. They took part in a science show where they learnt about important and fabulous inventions from the North East, they found out about brilliant satellites in space in the planetarium and took part in a chemistry lesson in the labs. Here are Class 1’s photos from the day.
Children in Class 5 enjoyed their first Godly play session this week. They listened to a story about the Good Shepherd and talked about the message. They then enjoyed making crafts linked to the story and produced some amazingly creative collages and drawings .
Key stage 1 had a brilliant day out at Beamish Museum. Children have been learning about what it was like to be a child growing up in Victorian Times and they had a realistic experience taking part in a lesson in the Victorian classroom. Children loved going down the mine and learning about life in a Victorian village. They were fascinated by the town, particularly the dentist! We couldn’t have asked for better weather, and with the generous help from the parent helpers, we were able to have the most fantastic day out which the children will remember for a very long time.
