Wow Reception! You were all amazing today, showcasing your superstar balancing and jumping skills!
Over the last two days, every child from Reception to Year 6 has taken part in a STEM project.in collaboration with the KAPLA workshop team. They have learned how to work as a team and shown resilience and engagement with the process in order to complete their final build.
We have built ski villages, giraffes, houses, crocodiles, boats and so much more! The wooden bricks needed to be carefully placed to make different shapes that would stand tall. There was no glue, no fixing mechanisms, just pure determination and a methodical, systematic approach.
We are so proud of what we managed to achieve together! A massive thank you to all of those parents and adults that helped our children enjoy an amazing learning experience.
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!!
Our school councillors set a competition to win South Shields Football Club season tickets. They decided that the competition would be won by the class that had the best attendance over a whole week. Reception Class won the competition so our councillors went to Reception Class to tell them the exciting news!
Mrs. Shepherd and her class were very excited and proud of themselves. Year 6 Student Councillors then chose a number at random and the winner of the season tickets was announced. Well Done Reception Class!

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.
Reception have had a fun filled first half term. The children have been learning all about Autumn and Harvest time. They have experienced their first PE class, forest school session and have learnt how to word build in phonics. The children have been learning new mathematical language and concepts through their play. They have particularly enjoyed repeated pattens, comparing quantities and capacity. We are incredibly proud of their achievements for their first half term.
Reception have been so engaged today learning all about how to be safe when crossing the road. We all practised our Green Cross Code, using a pedestrian crossing and following the instructions from a lollipop person. We were all fantastic at being super safe near the road!
Our Community Officer PC Talbot, and Police Community Support Officer Caroline, came to visit Early Years today! They talked about lots of different ways that the police help us. We got to look at their police car, speak on the police radio and some of us even wanted to try on the police uniform!
Reception and Nursery were visited this morning by Margret and Quella. Quella is from the Guide Dog Association. We found out so much about the important job Quella does to make sure that Margret is independent. We even got to stroke Quella and say hello – we loved it!
