The Vale gardeners were excited and curious to see how the seeds/seedlings that they had planted last term had grown during the half term! This consisted of sunflowers and beans to name a few. They also enjoyed planting their own seed today into a pot with compost to take home and nurture. We can't wait to see what grows next! #activelearning #outdoorlearning #inspiringall @glfschools

Caterpillars to Butterflies! As part of our Wider curriculum focus on life cycles in Reception we will be growing our own live butterflies! The little caterpillars will grow to ten times their original size, change into jewel-like chrysalis, and finally emerge as gorgeous Painted Lady butterflies! Watch this space for further photos of the transformation. #activelearning #inspiringall @glfschools

What an amazing Vale Science Fair! The knowledge, skills, understanding, curiosity, critical thinking and oracy skills on display were outstanding. An enormous amount of hard work and intrinsic pleasure for learning was on display from our youngest to oldest pupils. #enjoymentoflearning #scienceinschools #broadandbalancedcurriculum #inspiringall @glfschools @glfschoolsfoundation

What a wonderful whole school woodland walk this afternoon. We got caught in a rain shower but it didn't dampen our enjoyment of our local environment and embracing the outdoors. #whatalovelysetting #walkingtogether #activelifestyles #wholeschoolcommunity @activesurrey @glfschools #inspiringall

A huge thank you to Mrs Bishop from Relax Kids for coming in this morning and creating Breathing Sticks with the children and reading a relaxation to support our Year 6 to manage their feelings whilst doing SATs. She also made them affirmation bookmarks and discussed using affirmations with them. #thankyou #mentalhealthawarenessweek #relaxkids #inspiringall @glfschools
