The girls’ football team competed in their penultimate round of fixtures yesterday at Hebburn Comprehensive. They put in a fantastic effort, showing great determination to secure two hard-fought draws before narrowly losing their final match. The team currently sits 7th out of 12 in the league table. Well done, girls! ⚽
Year 6 had a fantastic and eye-opening visit to SafetyWorks!, an interactive safety centre serving the Tyne & Wear community. Through hands-on activities and realistic scenarios, they learned vital lessons about everyday hazards, from staying safe near open water to understanding the age of criminal liability and avoiding anti-social behaviour. The sessions highlighted how the choices we make as children can impact future opportunities, including job prospects They also explored the dangers of metro and railway lines, reinforcing the importance of staying alert and making safe decisions in all aspects of life.
Today we had a very special visitor in school. Andrea, our OPAL Mentor, joined us to present the staff with their certificate to celebrate that Hedworth Lane Primary School is now a ‘GOLD’ OPAL School! Andrea spoke with the children about how playtimes have developed and thanked the whole staff team for their hard work.
Class 6 had a wonderful World Book Day starting with a BBC live lesson. We then completed a review of our favourite Roald Dahl book and became illustrators as we redesigned a new front cover for our book. In the afternoon, we became Willy Wonka himself be designing our own new chocolate bars including the wrapper they would be sold in.
Class 8 thoroughly enjoyed World Book Day, with about half of the children opting to wear a book character-themed fancy dress and half wearing pyjamas to go with their hot chocolate. We all enjoy nothing better than to read a favourite book and wear our pyjamas!
Class 1 had lots of fun today taking part in World Book Day 2025 activities including assemblies, writing book reviews, designing book covers, taking part in a BBC Live lesson and of course enjoying hot chocolate and biscuits!

Reception had a lovely time this afternoon completing some winter themed crafts at this half terms stay and play.
On Wednesday some of our Year 3 children went to Boldon Comp for a Benchball tournament, we were split into 3 different teams of Hedworth Lane A, B and C and played against two other schools. It was fantastic and was amazing to see what the children had been learning during P.E to help them in these games. There was a lot of excellent team work from all players, so much so one of our teams came joint first with another school and won a medal. Well done Year 3 you played amazingly!
To celebrate achieving Gold Standard OPAL Status, we held our first Parent Stay and Plays this week. The events were really well attended and great fun was had by all! We look forward to our summer event!
