Today Y3 were historians and investigated artefacts from pre-history from the museum. They discussed which era they were from and justified their opinions using their historical knowledge.











Some of our wonderful school choir made a visit to Campbell Court today.
The children sang festive songs then chatted to residents.
The children loved seeing a former Valley View Head Teacher too!
Year 2 enjoyed their science investigation this afternoon about the suitability of different materials. We looked to see which materials were opaque, transparent, waterproof and absorbent. We decided which materials were suitable for different purposes and gave reasons why. Well done Year 2!
Year 4’s visit to St Peter’s church!
Year 5 enjoyed a poetry cafe this morning after completing their poetry unit which they have engaged beautifully with. The children chose a poem to read to the class that they had written during the unit. Many chose to read the free verse poems that they had written with the theme of Remembrance Day. They showed beautiful speaking and listening skills and were a respectful audience whilst performing their poems and listening to their peers. Well done Year 5!
Wow! What a fabulous geography day on the River Tyne Y3 have had! They looked at features of the river, visited the North East Maritime Museum to see how boats are built and restored. They travelled on the ferry to North Shields. Some of us looked at books about rivers The Word. Outstanding engagement & behaviour. Huge thanks to our volunteers and drivers for helping us too.
Y3 were so excited to create their own paints like gatherers from the Stone Age to create their art using mixed media and drawing skills. They discussed why cave paintings may have existed. They were very engaged and enjoyed tasting the blackberries too! were so excited to create their own paints like gatherers from the Stone Age to create their art using mixed media and drawing skills.

Our topic in EYFS at the moment is ‘Super Duper You!’
The children loved spotting a superhero on our CCTV. They have been so engaged in their new role play area: writing secret messages for their superhero friends, making their own superhero masks and using positive words of affirmation in the mirror to say what is special about themselves
