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!
We were so thrilled to invite parents in to take part in our first Key Stage 2 Reading Events this week. Class 1 and Class 2 were joined by some of their grown ups to take part in a reading lesson in class. (Apologies, I didn’t get any photos of Class 1 yesterday). It was lovely to have you join us and we look forward to hosting lots more future events!

Class 4 have been enjoying their ‘Making It Move’ DT lessons. They have been working together to discover how cam mechanisms work. They are now planning and designing their own.
Year 6 had a fun and informative time at South Shields Fire Station yesterday at the RAP (Reducing Accidents at Play) event.
The children learnt how to stay safe whilst playing out. They visited a range of experts who taught them about road and metro safety, the dangers near open water, electricity, fire safety and the benefits of active travel.
