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!!
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.
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.
