Year 3 are extremely proud of their Design & technology projects.
They investigated cushions, designed their own and learned how to sew using running stitch and cross stitch to use applique.
We think they are fabulous!
Y3 enjoyed visiting the Great North Museum to look at real artefacts from Ancient Egyptian times. They also recapped their science learning about rocks and soils during a workshop by a geologist. They were very engaged in finding facts about the Egyptians and loved seeing real mummies!
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!
To show their respect our children created some beautiful art work which was placed at Monkton Cenotaph.
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 learned all about activities that were done for survival in the Stone Age. They did a timeline walk, collected wood to make shelters, used archery skills to catch prey, made bread and butter to cook on the campfire and worked as a team. Fabulous engagement!
