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.
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!

Today our school council welcomed Jarrow MP Kate Osborne to Valley View.
Ms Osborne enjoyed a tour of the school before entering into a challenging question and answer session with the School Council.
The children did lots of research to prepare for the meeting. They asked about the Women and Equalities Committee, what they could do about climate change, how they could get more money for fun equipment in school and if Kate Osborne MP had ever met Boris Johnson !
The Student Council made a great impression Kate Osborne commended them all praising the excellent selection process the school used to elect school councillors.
We look forward to another meeting soon!
We made lovley community links with Calf Close residential home last year when pupils from our choir visited the residents to sing Christmas songs.
