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.
The art work was placed at the Cenotaph in Monkton Village.
We will remember them.
Year 4 have thoroughly enjoyed their first term in year 4 with lots of learning and fun activities to help them to understand their Stone Age topic.
Making our own fossil to help us to understand the fossilisation process.
We designed and built Stone Age homes using our knowledge of the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic time periods. We are so proud of the detail we put into our builds as we showed how they lived as we build the scene around the homes.
Year 4 are loving farm school. This week the children were helping to prepare the food and feed the animals, followed by mucking out !!
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!
Our newly elected school council from Valley View and Hedworthfield were welcomed by the Deputy Mayor for a tour of the Town Hall in South Shields this week.
The children learned about the history of the Town Hall, they created their own school crest, they participated in a very challenging question time and took a vote on whether to ban homework or not !
It was a great visit, our school council were amazing ambassadors for our schools.
Thank you so much to the Town Hall staff, Deputy Mayor and Councillors who made us feel so welcome.
We had a visit from the Dog Trust today, The children learned about how dogs have feelings and how we would approach a dog to keep us safe and not to distress the dog.
Parents and Carers joined their children for an afternoon helping bees, butterflies and other insects. Everyone planted wildflowers to help the school grounds for nature, they then made a recycled butterfly feeder, plant pot and hanging basket full of butterfly friendly flowers to take home.
Thank you to everyone who took part and to West Boldon Lodge for working with us.
