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!
Today in Year 4 we have been learning about the different layers of soil. The children loved seperating the soil into its 5 different layers, looking closely at it through a microscope (we found a worm) and carrying out an experiment which will allow us to see all 5 layers for ourselves inside our jars.
Children from Valley View and Hedworthfield Primary Schools produced some stunning art work to commerate Remembrance Day 2020.
