Year 4’s visit to St Peter’s church!
Year 4 were invited to attend an athletics event at Temple Park in South Shields to take part in a series of sports activities. They returned to school victorious and were awarded first place WINNERS!
The children were so proud to return to school and show off their medals.
Congratulations Year 4 – we are so proud!
Today KS2 were extremely lucky to be entertained by the incredible Zak Music Official!
As well as sharing his brilliant music, Zak also talked to the children about mental health, online safety and bullying. Zak is a 14 year old pop sensation and he has certainly gained a number of new fans today!
Thank you Zak for sharing such important messages and inspiring us to persue our talents. 
Y4 were historians today at Arbeia Roman fort. They looked at sources of evidence and explored the site where the Romans lived. Just like the Romans, they were good walkers – over 15300 steps! Thanks to our volunteers for coming along.
French Cafe
Year 3 and 4 attended and helped organise a French cafe. Our French Club pupils took on the role of waiters and asked us what we would like in French. We then used our French knowledge and skills to order our food. This was an excellent opportunity to practise our speaking and listening skills and apply our knowledge of our Food Glorious Food and Going Shopping topic.
We completed a watercolour workshop and took time to explore the exhibitions.
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 the children showed great citizenship, they wanted to help members of our community this winter so they teamed togther with local charity, Hebburn Helps.
The children collected donations of warm blankets and hot water bottles in school, the student council then delivered them to Hebburn Helps who will distribute them to families in need.
Classes from Valley View, attended the Remembrance Day Ceremony at Monkton Cenotaph.
Members of the student council presented a wreath, on behalf of the school and displayed some art work, that the chilkdren had produced to show their respect.
