Nursery Visit to Scotswood Community Garden

21st October 2019Cathryn Henderson

Last week the children in our Early Years went on their visit  to Scotswood Community Garden. Thank you to the grown ups who came along to help; we couldn’t do it without you!  The session was aimed at supporting children’s understanding of the world they live in and seasonal change.  During the visit children learnt about how some animals, like hedgehogs, hibernate in the winter.   The children worked hard to use Autumn leaves and branches to build a nest for a hedgehog – the main aim was to keep the hedgehog warm.  The children had a fabulous time and, as always, demonstrated our school values: respect, resilience, responsibility and engagement.

Maths is so much fun!

19th September 2019Cathryn Henderson

Year 5 and 6 have made a wonderful start to maths this year: we have been thoroughly enjoying revising our understanding of place value. We have used number discs and diagrams to practise partitioning numbers in lots of different ways. We have also been outside finding number bonds to 10,000 and 1 million in the sunshine. We can now find our ‘number partner’ in 2 mins 47 seconds! Maths is so much fun!

Shadow

23rd April 2019Cathryn Henderson

My name is Shadow and I am a special member of staff at Hedworthfield Primary. You can see me pictured here with Cllr Alan Smith and some of our wonderful pupils.

I have my own kennel and private garden space in the amazing Additional Resource Base in school.

I help the children with their speech and language. I am also excellent at regulating the children’s behaviour and emotions when they need me.

I love to looking after the children at Hedworthfield Primary and being a really good friend on four legs !

Our Children love Shadow when asked they said he was “cute” “really good ” so valuable” and an amazing addition to have in school”
