This week the children in Reception took part in their last Early Words session. They have thoroughly enjoyed the 6 week course, taking part in different activities with their grown ups.
Each child received a special bag with a soft toy, a musical instrument, some crafts and a lovely certificate. Well done everyone that took part!
Our Year 3 bench-ballers had a fabulous time at Boldon School, taking part in the inter-school benchball tournament on Wednesday!
Our 3 teams did fantastically well and finished in 1st, 2nd and 2nd across three groups!
They represented Hedworth Lane School superbly and all involved should be very proud of their attitude, skill and behaviour. Well done superstars!
And thank you to the parent helpers who were fantastic cheering us on and supporting the trip!

Our Year 6 pupils recently took part in an engaging and highly worthwhile educational visit to Safety Works, an interactive safety centre designed to help children learn how to stay safe in real-life situations.
During the visit, pupils explored a realistic indoor “street” environment and took part in a range of practical workshops. These sessions focused on key areas such as road safety, fire safety, personal safety, and keeping safe in the home and online. Through role play, discussion and hands-on activities, the children were encouraged to think carefully about risks, consequences and making sensible choices.
The workshops linked closely to our PSHE curriculum and were particularly valuable as our pupils prepare for the increased independence that comes with secondary school. The children demonstrated excellent behaviour throughout the day and asked thoughtful, mature questions, showing a real interest in the topics covered.
We would like to thank the staff at Safety Works for delivering such informative and engaging sessions, and our pupils for being fantastic ambassadors for our school. It was a memorable and important learning experience that will help keep our children safe now and in the future.
Year 5 attended their annual dodgeball tournament at Boldon School this week. Team A, B and C thrashed it out against each other and some of the other schools in our area. One of our teams even came home with a medal for all of their hard work and effort. It was great fun taking part but to come home with a medal was the icing on the cake for some of our pupils…. Well done Hedworth Lane!
Natalie from The Family Hub visited school this week to chat with parents about fussy eating. They went over things like portion sizes, food groups and getting in your “5 a day,” plus lots of other useful tips. It was a really helpful and informative session that parents got a lot out of!
This week in our Early Words Together session, the children received a book to take home and share with a grown up! Happy Reading everyone!
Reception have been taking part in the RSPB Big School’s Birdwatch throughout the month of January. We have been mixing bird cakes, threading and hanging bird feeders and using binoculars to spot and count how many different birds we can see when at Forest School. We have seen seagulls, pigeons, blackbirds, robins and blue tits!
This morning Reception attended the Temple Park Superhero Mega Sport event. We took part in many different superhero games across the morning incorporating lots of different fundamental skills. Our highlight was definitely seeing Batman!
This week in Reception, some of the children had their second Early Words Session with Hayley from The Family Hub. They sang songs, played games and even made their very own musical shaker. Well done everyone!
Children in Year 5 and 6 enjoyed using their new handwriting pens in their handwriting lesson today. They went on to write out their new handwriting pledges for spring term that they will stick to their desks. Very neat indeed !
