Hedworth Lane was SPOTACULAR today as our pupils raised awareness of Children In Need.
There were some excellent, creative designs and everyone looked incredible.
Key Stage 1 have supported Starlight in the run-up to the festive season by decorating bunting for health care settings and hospital wards across the country.
Well done Hedworth Lane for brightening up hospital wards and sending a message of love and kindness to people who will be spending time in hospital over the Christmas season.
Class 4 had a fantastic PE lesson today. They worked hard to develop their coordination and racquet skills as part of their tennis unit

Mrs Sanderson and Miss Wilson kept us all entertained this morning as we had out first Reading For Pleasure assembly. They were ably assisted by a range of animal creatures as we enjoyed Julia Donaldson’s “The Smartest Giant”, and we even were treated to a song!
Why don’t you act out your favourite story at home and send some pictures in for us to share!
KS1 visited the local church as part of their Religious Education topic. Children have been learning about Christianity and what Christians believe. They have been learning about churches and some of the ceremonies which take place within them. Reverend Paul showed the children around the church and they had the chance to look at the things they had been learning about in class. Children loved listening to Reverend Paul explaining about Baptism and they even helped him to pretend to Baptise a teddy! They enjoyed looking at the Reverend Paul’s special bible and he told them all about sharing the bread and wine and what it stands for.
It was lovely to see so many of our pupils taking part in this morning’s act of Remembrance. They represented our school brilliantly!
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.
Our hall became a terrifying pumpkin patch this morning as children brought in their carved creations to share. The designs were superb and all of the children spoke about how much they had enjoyed doing their ‘harvest homework’ with their grown ups at home.
The Arts Council did a great job of judging and decided on a winner from each class.

Thank you to PC Harrison from Northumbria Police, who came in and shared an assembly with us this morning. PC Harrison told us how to stay safe during the firework season. We know that we should:
- Only let grown ups set off fireworks
- Wear gloves when using sparklers
- Keep a safe distance from bonfires
- Attend organised displays if possible
