Our budding Year 3 Geologists, embarked on an investigation to uncover the mysteries of rocks and minerals. Through hands-on activities, interactive experiments, and engaging lessons, our young learners are discovering the formation, characteristics, and uses of various rock types. Be prepared for your children to share newfound knowledge about sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks with enthusiasm and excitement. This journey promises to be both educational and immensely enjoyable for all involved.

As a part of the requirement of Design Technology, our Year 4 pupils have created their own spectacular papier mache volcanoes. This was also aligned with the Geography topic - Earthquakes and Volcanoes. They were eager and enthusiastic to carry out this task and worked harmoniously in their respective groups.
Our Pupil Pinning Leadership Ceremony is a cherished tradition of our school. This year it took on additional significance, as we recognised the exceptional leadership qualities displayed by our pupils. The event symbolises the school’s commitment to the growth and development of our country’s next generation of leaders. At Hewens Primary, we are not only concerned with academic achievement but also focused on preparing active citizens.
Black History Month is not just a time to recognise the significant impact of Black leaders; it’s also an opportunity for all of us to learn, grow, and appreciate the diverse cultures and voices that make Britain so vibrant. During our celebration assembly, we reflected upon the struggles and triumphs of minority groups through songs, dance and the use of musical instruments.
Throughout the term, Year 2 pupils have had great enjoyment from working with a range of materials and tools to assemble items such as slides, swings, climbing walls, and see-saws. During their learning journey, they have skillfully applied prior mathematical knowledge, including concepts related to 3D shapes and measurements, as well as their Year 1 scientific understanding of materials. Impressively, the pupils have also demonstrated awareness of the safety aspects associated with designing equipment for their peers. Overall, Year 2 pupils have found these lessons to be highly enjoyable
