Class 5 enjoyed dressing up in red last Friday and learning about why we raise money for Red Nose Day and how that money helps people.
The local Family Hubs are offering some great programmes for primary school aged children and their families… please get intouch with them if you would like any more information…
The Arts council had the very difficult job of selecting a winner from each class for this year’s pumpkin carving competition. One of our favourite Hedworth Lane traditions!
The designs get more and more creative each year! Well done everyone for your efforts and ban extra well done to the 11 winners.
We had a lovely walk around Boldon to look for signs of Autumn. We found lots of beautiful coloured leaves of all shapes and sizes.

Class 1 Trip to the Hancock Museum
On Monday, Class 1 enjoyed a fantastic visit to the Hancock Museum in Newcastle as part of our Science topic this term – Evolution and Inheritance.
The highlight of the day was an exciting and interactive workshop all about The Evolution of Humans, where the children explored how humans have changed and adapted over millions of years by looking at replica skulls from throughout the ages. They asked brilliant questions and showed great curiosity about how we connect to our ancient ancestors.
After the workshop, the class explored the museum’s fascinating exhibits. From standing face-to-face with a towering T. Rex, to marvelling at the wonders of Ancient Egypt and Greece, the children were captivated throughout. They particularly enjoyed the sections on animal adaptations and fossils, which linked perfectly with our classroom learning.
It was a brilliant day filled with learning, wonder, and inspiration – and the children were an absolute credit to the school!
Take a look at some of our favourite moments from the day below.
Two teams entered the First Lego League: Discover tournament this week representing Hedworth lane and what a fantastic job they did too! They have been using some of their lunchtimes to get competition ready and both teams came up with fantastic ideas to promote their hobbies using technology. The Lego Buds thought about using VR to help horse riding become more accessible to all and the Shark Heads used the idea of synaesthesia to add an extra sensory element to music. We walked away with both ‘The Judge’s Choice’ and ‘The Challenge Solution’ awards on the day too. Brilliant job Lego Leaguers.. Very well done !
Here are some snaps of Class 9 having some egg-tastic Easter fun! We have decorated our eggs, completed Easter colouring and made Easter cards. What a lot of fun! 
The girls football team played their socks off again this week. They drew two matches, lost one and won one. Everyone gave it their all and should be proud of themselves. Well done girls!
Class 7 had a fun afternoon reading Anthony Browne books. Children loved sharing the books with a friend and learning about all of the different characters by drawing and describing them. Some children particularly enjoyed spotting Anthony Browne’s clever use of hidden images and naming the stories they linked too. The children made a real effort with their book day character costumes and Mrs Sanderson and Miss Coulthard had great fun dressing up too! Thanks to some creative work at home, we now have some imaginative Reading Rocks to put in our Reading Corner! What a great day!
