In Year 1 we have been learning about why the church is a special place to Christians.
The children were very lucky to be invited to attend a special service at our local Church, St Peters.
We also had a wonderful tour, looking closely at the features in the church, learning lots of new facts along the way!
We received a very warm welcome and enjoyed our time in church!
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!
