Today we said goodbye and Happy Retirement to our lovely kitchen assistant. Moira has been serving delicious meals to our children, their parents and their parents for 32 years!
The Choir from Valley View and Hedworthfield came together to sing festive songs to our friends at Calf Close residentiial home.
Well done everyone, you sang beautifully and demonstrated what great citizens you are!
Today the children showed great citizenship, they wanted to help members of our community this winter so they teamed togther with local charity, Hebburn Helps.
The children collected donations of warm blankets and hot water bottles in school, the student council then delivered them to Hebburn Helps who will distribute them to families in need.
Our learning in nursery has been based on the changes in Autumn that we can see and exploring all of the wonderful objects found at this time of year.
Some of the activities have included; making leaf men inspired characters, printing with leaves, counting conkers, going on an Autumn walk and mark making with Autumn colours.
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 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?

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:
