Year 2 Activities

24th September 2021Gemma Hudson

Year 2 have had an exciting half term so far!

We have looked the work of Jackson Pollock and then created our own artwork in his style. We needed to mix colours and decide whether we wanted to blow, splat or drizzle the paint to create our paintings.

In literacy, we are reading the story of ‘The Little Red Hen’. We visited Hedworthfield Primary School to visit their hens. We planted corn together, mucked out the cages and made food for them.

School Council Welcome Kate Osborne MP

25th June 2021C Henderson

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!
