Film welcoming children back to school!

Tue 26 May 2020

We have made a short film based around our vision which highlights some of the changes which have taken place recently at Valley. We hope this will help the children who are returning to feel a little more prepared and it may help you as parents discuss with your children some of the changes. For those children who are not returning immediately but will be when the time is right, we hope it is a nice opportunity to start preparing them for this alongside reminding them of the many good times we have had at Valley fulfilling our vision and enjoying our learning earlier this year!

This can be found in the video resource centre under the children’s section of click here for a short cut...

Chair of Governors House Point Names Competition

Sat 15 Feb 2020

Thank you to Miss Clark, our Chair of Governors for organising our House Point names competition. The winning names are:

Amazon Rainforest (Green), Grand Canyon (Red), Great Barrier Reef (Blue)

All three are natural wonders of the earth. Valley Primary teaches us to be generous and caring to the environment and so it is lovely to have chosen some landmarks that need care as our house point names.

Well done to everybody who participated and entered some names, Miss Clark gave these children a certificate and small gift in assembly.

Our winner was Evelyn Butcher from 3P who came up with this wonderful suggestion of names. A huge well done and thank you Evelyn!

Year 6 London trip update.

Mon 10 Feb 2020

Year Six have left school and set off for their exciting enrichment day in London!

We are just leaving Oxford Services. As the photographs show the children are having a great time.

We have just passed The Hoover Building. The children are very interested in the Art Deco style.

We are very fortunate to have two very pleasant and accommodating coach drivers. They are managing to keep both coaches travelling together and are even hoping to give us a tour around the centre of London later on in the day.

We have arrived at The Saatchi Museum. Photographs are limited inside the museum.

We are going to have our museum tours and workshop and eat our dinner.

We stay here until 3.30pm.

The children are already working and fascinated by the exhibition.

The children are enjoying looking at all the artefacts in the gallery and having a special Egyptian workshop. Take a look at the updated photographs.

We are now back on our coaches and off for a tour of London. The children thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition and the workshop.

Our drivers are so kind! They managed to park just around the corner and allowed us off the coaches to see Buckingham Palace through the gates that we see so often on the television.. We are all so thrilled!

The Rainforest Cafe was absolutely wonderful with giant portions of lovely food. There was fabulous, moving, Rainforest scenery.

We are now back on the bus and our drivers are going to show us London by night - a wonderful opportunity for the children We are so lucky to have such kind drivers.

We anticipate we will be back at school about 9pm.

Please keep an eye on the scrolling banner in case of any updates.

Year Six are safely back from London. Thank you to all the staff, the coach drivers and you our parents for supporting this trip. Year Six children have been a credit to Valley and had a fantastic enrichment day.
