As part of our History topic “Toy story” Year 1 went on a trip to Sunderland Museum and attended a toy workshop.
We had so much fun and learnt all about the history of toys and discovered old and new toys!
We also brought our own toys from home and discuss their features.
In Year 1 we have been learning about stories with familiar settings.
We read the story of Stickman. We decided to take a trip to our familiar setting of forest school and discuss how that setting is similar to the one in Stickman.
We also found something very special in forest school… our very own Stickman!
Year 1 took part in some mindfulness yoga today. We had so much fun and learnt some fantastic calming techniques.
The Choir from Valley View and Hedworthfield came together to sing festive songs to our friends at Calf Close residentiial home.
Well done everyone, you sang beautifully and demonstrated what great citizens you are!
This week, the KAPLA project has given us the opportunity to develop our STEM skills.
Logical thinking – develops spatial awareness and enhances awareness of shape, volume and sense of balance whilst developing manual dexterity.
Stimulating creativity – enhances creative thinking and children to express their artisitic talents.
Concentration, patience and perseverance.
Teamwork – communication and cooperation.
We also demonstarted all of our school values- showing RESPECT to others, taking RESPONSIBILITY, demonstrating ENGAGEMENT and showing amazing RESILIENCE when the project became tricky.
We would like to thank Kapla for an amazing two day project and a massive thank you to all of our volunteer helpers who were invaluable!
Our student council had the priviledge of switching on the Christmas tree lights at Primrose CA as they celebrated their annual christmas fair.

Well done to our fabolous students who acted as amazing ambassadors for our school.
Today the children showed great citizenship, they wanted to help members of our community this winter so they teamed togther with local charity, Hebburn Helps.
The children collected donations of warm blankets and hot water bottles in school, the student council then delivered them to Hebburn Helps who will distribute them to families in need.
