Year 6 experienced TinkerCad today at The Word in South Shields. This was a design and Technology lesson which involved creating 3D models. The best 3 models will then be created and printed using a 3D printer. We will be using some additional lessons this term to complete our designs. Who will be the winner?

On the 6th June 2022 we hosted a community event in school to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Families from Hedworthfield Primary School came together to for an afternoon of entertainment; we played games, socialisied and enjoyed some delicious home made scones and refreshments.
We would like to thank all of our families for joining us for this celebration and to South Tyneside Platinum Jubilee Community Fund.
A great time was had by all, we cant wait to welcome our community to our next celebration!
As part of culture week, we looked at the work of Matisse and discussed how it is similar to Derain fauvism work which we previously completed in our Marine Engineers unit. We used a basic black and white photograph before adding layers of colour in his style. We observed that:
The upper half of the picture is clear: the hazy morning light on the Île de la Cité, with Notre-Dame’s famous towers in shade. But in the lower part of the picture, the space is murkier: the bridge across the Seine dividing the canvas, the smoke billowing from it partly clouding our view of Notre-Dame, barges on the river, and people shuffling along the Quai at the right.
From our discussions, we set about creating our own versions:
Year 4 took a trip to the Hancock Museum in order to develop their understanding of the Ancient Egyptians. The children showed outstanding behaviour and wonderful engagement throughout the day.
Today representatives from our school council attended St Paul’s Church, Jarrow to take part in a special service to celebrate the first anniversary of ‘The Way of Learning’ pilgrimage Route, with Bishop Paul Butler.
The children jloined their peers from Hedworthfield and neighbouring schools.
The children were amazing citizens they wrote paryers for poorly relatives and for world peace!
Today Year 3 school councillors attended the Town Hall to learn about democracy.
The children took part in a fictiicious election to appoint a new leader for Stary Land!
During this process the children discussed the qualities a good leader should have, they sat in the council chamber to listen to speeches from the prospective candidates then took part in a ballot.
The children were amazing ambassadors for our school, they thoroughly enjoyed their experience and learned lots about democracy!
Thank you to evryone for coming to our first playgroup today. We had so much fun and it was lovely to meet you all. We look forward to seeing you all again next week. Any feedback/reviews from today would be welcomed. Thank you
We’re making bird feeders for our garden birds. We’ve used some bought ones from the shop to learn what to do. Now we’re collecting bottles and cartons to make our own!
We can now make them independently. Amazing skills by our Nursery children.
Our school councillors set a competition to win South Shields Football Club season tickets. They decided that the competition would be won by the class that had the best attendance over a whole week. Reception Class won the competition so our councillors went to Reception Class to tell them the exciting news!
Mrs. Shepherd and her class were very excited and proud of themselves. Year 6 Student Councillors then chose a number at random and the winner of the season tickets was announced. Well Done Reception Class!
