Today our School Councillors acted as Ambassors of our school when they visited Calf Close Home to present some gifts and well wishes to the residents.
We made lovley community links with Calf Close residential home last year when pupils from our choir visited the residents to sing Christmas songs.
This year the children participated in the Hearts for Home project. Each child designed a heart with a personal message of kindness or Seasons greeting!
Today members of our school council, delivered the hearts to our friends and wished them a Happy Christmas!
Children from Valley View and Hedworthfield Primary Schools produced some stunning art work to commerate Remembrance Day 2020.
The art work was placed at the Cenotaph in Monkton Village.
We will remember them.
We had a lovely day at Jarrow Hall today….the sun even came out! We learnt how the Anglo-Saxons used animals, listened to a story about Beowolf, spent time in a replica Anglo-Saxon house and handled real artefacts from the past!
To begin our Stone Age topic, we spent the day at Jarrow Hall. We learnt how to build and light a fire, how to create a framework to clean and stretch leather, how to make axes for use as tools and weapons, and created our own artwork on rocks.
We created natural portraits using materials we gathered on a walk around the school grounds.
We created some beautiful displays. One themed around Remembrance Day and one using our fantastic Cave Art.
We have done lots of amazing Maths work using a variety of equipment. We even did some of it on our desks – don’t tell Mrs Jeynes! Shh!
Year 4 and ARB 2 children made a great start at Farm School this week! The children were introduced to all of the animals that they will be caring for over the next four weeks.
Year 3 and 4 gave the most amazing, spell bounding performance of Gabriel’s Big Break. Cllr Alan Smith, who attended the performance, on behalf of the governing board, was speechless, he told everyone it was the best show that he had ever seen!
