Welcome to our memories page where we look back and remember just a few snippets of the favourite moments in the past, including during a National Pandemic! 

Below are a few past whole school event photographs we don’t want to forget.... and the menus to the right have previous year group pages if you would like to look back on previous year group photraphs, memories and curriculum documents. 

Our current learning photographs can be found on our Year Group pages!

Our Choir perform in our local community 

Our wonderful choir participated in the Touchwood Choir festival again this year. We were so proud of the way in which they spread Christmas cheer with traditional carols and Christmas hits to their team of supporters and passing shoppers. Thank you choir!

 

Sports Events

Our children particularly enjoyed designing and writing instructions for their own Olympic Events, which they then built and took part in.

 

Artwork Masterpieces

As a tribute to the late Sir Captain Tom Moore, the children created fabulous artwork to recognize how much of an inspiration he was. It was clear he inspired Valley and will be remember for many years to come. Thank you Captain Tom.

Valley Number and Shape Day! 

Children in school and at home both took on a mathematical challenge to investigate Maths around them. Children made jewelry, some delicious looking cakes and other food items, created artwork using shapes and went on a scavenger hunt around our local area. It was lovely to see the children having fun with Maths!

Spreading Christmas Joy!

Each year we enjoy inviting our parents, grandparents, extended family and friends, our local community and local care homes to join us for a virtual celebration to spread Christmas joy. 

There is always a vast variety of productions across the school, here is a snippet from each year group.

Our Eco Warriors' made a campaign to reduce the amount of energy used in school called Switch Off Fortnight. 

Over the two weeks, the children did lots of small things to achieve this, including turning off lights and the photocopier when not in use.

Walk to School week is an annual success.
Take a look at some of our posters advertising the benefits of walking and working collaboratively to be the class to walk to and from school most that week.

For Anti-Bullying day at Valley, the Friendship ambassadors chose the theme of STAMP OUT BULLYING, we continue to implement this every day and it is written into our whole school behaviour policy. 

The children came to school with odd shoes to show that difference is ok and made posters to raise awareness.

For Children in Need day, everyone came into school in their pyjamas, even the teachers and Miss Milewski! 

The children all enjoyed being warm and cosy all day and made a contribution to such a worthy cause.

We celebrate Black History day each year as a school. 

This was one of our favourite years where each phase focused on a particular aspect of black history: EYFS’s day was focused on black hero books, Year 1 and 2 learned all about Rosa Parks, Year 3 and 4 focused on young black heroes including Ruby Bridges and Year 5 and 6 learned about the Black Lives Matter movement.

Valley on Solihull Radio! 

Well done to everybody who took part, lovely to bring cheer to our whole school community.

Remember the words of Fight song by Rachel Platten which we ended the show with .... we are each like a small boat on a big ocean, but when we are strong we send big waves and make a real difference... let's all stay strong, stay alert and work together to control this virus!  

• Valley Radio show!

We focus on our mental health and spreading kindness at Valley!
