The school council decided that they would like to buy some resources for our chilckens and ducks.
In assembley they launched the idea of a bake sale to the whole school. Each member of the student council explained why they loved our animals so much and how important they were to everyone in school.
The children made 300 cakes and dedicated some of their lunch break to sell them to the rest of the school.
Everyone loved their cake and Wow!!! we raised £75.93. The next decision is what to buy!!
Children Smash their Times tables!
Year 4 have been practising their times tables this term and have made some magnificent progress. Our times table club has been incredibly popular on a lunchtime and is really helping us prepare for our times table check in June.
As we were doing so well, we entered the competition on TTRS along with another 28,260 schools in England. We got over 48,000 questions correct and blew our teachers’ socks off with how well we did! We finished in the top 2% of the country! We are incredibly proud of our hard work and look forward to becoming even better in the future!
Representing Hedworthfield Primary some of our school councillors, attended the Remembrance Day Ceremony at Monkton Cenotaph.
Members of the student council presented a wreath, on behalf of the school and displayed some art work, that the chilkdren had produced to show their respect.
The children have taken part in class elections. They wrote a manifesto and presented their ideas to their classmates. We discussed the UK voting system and British values before attending our very own Polling Station to vote.
The successful candidates were announced by our special guests Cllr G Kilgour and Cllr J Potts.
Well done everyone!
Today our student council planted an apple tree in our Forest School. So we can always remember The Queen’s Platium Jubilee we also placed a commerative plaque next to the tree.
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.
Well done Year 4 ! what amazing Stone Age home learning projects !
Year 4 have enjoyed a day at Jarrow Hall doing a Stone Age Workshop. We have made our own bread, cloth, clay drinking cups, an axe and we also learnt how to travel safely if we were moving settlements.
This term Year 4 are learning about the Stone Age, In art we have experimented with charcoal to create online drawings of animals found in the British countryside.
We have also created our very own textured paper to create our cave wall designs on.
Year 4 thoroughly enjoyed their visit from an artist today. We learned how to use watercolours effectively to create rainforest plants in the style of Henri Rousseau.
