Look at our baby chicks hatching !
The children are learning all about plants in gardening club. They have been working very hard planting flowers around the school grounds and sowing seeds in the Hedworthfield vegetable plot.
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”
Year 4 took part in a debate about key issues, they then conducted a democratic vote to see if their proposals would have passed in parliament. Year 4 showcased some really great debating skills !
Thank you to the Woodland Trust for our trees and shrubs.
With the help of our amazing parent champions, staff and pupils we have created a forest area for our pupils. More updates, to see how this area is developing, to follow !
Year 2 from Valley View, Hedworthfield and Additional Resource Base 1 enjoyed a ‘ Great Fire of London’ day. They baked bread in the Pudding Lane Bakery, built Tudor houses, drew London fore landscapes with pastels, sang songs, toasted marshmallows in our fire pit. They then watched as the Tudor houses were set alight to act out the burning city.
We are very proud to share pictures of PC Talbut presenting one of our pupils with a well deserved Citizenship Award for his participation in the Eco Bricks project under way in school.
Year 4 trip to the Open Zone, ICT centre at The Word, South Shields.
Year 4 enjoyed a school trip to the medieval Warkworth Castle.
Year 4 have had an extremely busy half term learning all about the Stone Age and Rocks. They have written their own information booklet all about Stone Age life in English and have taken part in many interesting activities in topic and Science.
The half term began with a visit from a Stone Age lady. She introduced the class to different aspects of Stone Age life including clothing, hunting and gathering and the dangers they would have faced from creatures such as woolly mammoths!
The children then went on to create their own cave paintings. They even foraged the materials needed to create them.
Year 4 have also looked at the type of housing Stone Age people lived in. They then picked a style of house to recreate from either the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic or Neolithic times. The children planned and designed their models using all natural materials. It was extremely challenging but the results were outstanding!
Further work was completed in science, where the children created a replica fossil when learning about the fossilisation process and they even visited a local church to learn about ‘why Jesus is the light of the world’ in RE. They have truly worked their socks off!
