Whole school STEM Spectacular

8th December 2022C Henderson

This week, the KAPLA project has given us the opportunity to develop our STEM skills.

Logical thinking – develops spatial awareness and enhances awareness of shape, volume and sense of balance whilst developing manual dexterity.

Stimulating creativity – enhances creative thinking and children to express their artisitic talents.

Concentration, patience and perseverance.

Teamwork – communication and cooperation.

We also demonstarted all of our school values- showing RESPECT to others, taking RESPONSIBILITY, demonstrating ENGAGEMENT and showing amazing RESILIENCE when the project became tricky.

We would like to thank Kapla for an amazing two day project and a massive thank you to all of our volunteer helpers who were invaluable!

Helping our Community

5th December 2022C Henderson

Today the children showed great citizenship, they wanted to help members of our community this winter so they teamed togther with local charity, Hebburn Helps.

The children collected donations of warm blankets and hot water bottles in school, the student council then delivered them to Hebburn Helps who will distribute them to families in need.

Great Citizenship

7th November 2022C Henderson

Today our children welcomed Ms Comerford, founder of Hebburn Helps, to speak in our school assembly. Ms Comerford thanked the children for choosing Hebburn Helps to receive all of the recent Harvest Festival donations.

Ms Comerford told the children all about the people that Hebburn Helps support. Demonstrating great citizenship the children  have decided to launch an appeal to collect blankets and hot water bottles to be given to the elderly people in our  community to keep them warm this winter.

Our marvelous student council representatives will lead this appeal in school.

Well done everyone!

Early Years Explorers

21st October 2022C Henderson
Throughout the year, EYFS will be taking part in three ‘Exploration Sessions’ to support our understanding of the world around us and our local community. We will be supporting our knowledge of our local area with first hand experiences, noticing the features of our environment as we go.
This autumn term, our first Exploration Session was called ‘The Journey to Forest School’. We were very excited to go on our first adventure and explore our school grounds! We travelled through the red door, walked next to our outdoor area, over the big bridge, through the wild willow den, around the statue, across the path and we marched past the bushes to arrive at the huge gate!
Reception used their knowledge of their journey to Forest School to create their own maps of our immediate area.
