Year Four get the armour on! | November 23, 2016 |
Year Four's theme was "I am warrior". As part of their Engage, Sir Richard came again to Viewley Hill Academy. He explained what the armour was for and how it was made. Year four found out about how to put it on – and how long it takes!
After it was all off again, we tried some of it on. It was very heavy and not very comfortable. We thought that School Uniform was probably a better option for everyday wear.

Children in Need | November 18, 2016 |
The day came to wear spots. We got Pudsey-ed up and talked about why we all looked quite the way we did!
Children and families responded well to Children in Need day both in the participation and in the generous donations. There was an especially good showing of lots of home-made outfits this year.
We were all seeing spots!

Science is great in Year six.

Year 1 and 2 visit Newcastle Castle | October 12, 2016 |
On Monday 3rd October all the children in KS1 visited Newcastle Castle. We learned all about how the castle was built to defend the people inside and how a knight would have lived. We even climbed the twisty, uneven steps to the top of the keep so we could see Newcastle City Centre. What an amazing day we had!

Year Five have a voice! | October 12, 2016 |
We Have a Voice
One of the fingers of our Helping Hand is 'we have a voice.' This is focused around the children having their own voice and being listened to. We discussed the different ways this happens in school - we have ambassadors, our red bullying boxes and we always discuss issues. Miss Shadforth challenged the children to think of one thing they would like to change or add to school and this what they came up with. Year 5 must be heard!

Year Three are Archeologists! | October 12, 2016 |
Year 3 had a fantastic time being archaeologist for the day as part of their theme work. Following Mr Cunningham's exciting discovery of a large fossil, they spent time out site digging to see what other artefacts they could find! It was a very interesting day and set the scene for future learning.
