That was, honestly, the best overnight so far with both boys and girls being sensible and getting to sleep within 20 minutes of lights out :-) And the morning was just as good with no (too) early starts. In fact, Mia and Amie report that girls' beds are made, the room's tidy and today's things are packed, and it's 730am! [...]
Technologically challenged for the next four days. Titchy internet allowance on my phone, no 3G on the iPad and limited WiFi hot spots as we troop from one place to the next! Maybe at McDonald's later tonight I can get this to send? Left Barnstaple with more tears on the platform (none on the train sorry) and so started the, [...]
Class 1 have had lots of fun this half term learning all about minibeasts. We have been very busy finding real minibeasts outside, drawing and making colourful minibeasts, creating a humongous collage caterpillar, raising our own class butterflies, learning and writing all about the story of 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar', tasting and describing the food that the hungry caterpillar ate [...]
Class 3 had a fantastic two days at St George's House. They spent the first afternoon enjoying the sunshine in the house's grounds, with a treasure hunt and scrambling around, over and under the rocks at Baggy Point. A Shrek film quiz and a teddy bear competition rounded off a great first day. The following morning, all the children worked [...]
Class 4 have worked hard all week on their tests and we decided to have a party to celebrate all of the effort that everyone has put it. The class brought in contributions of food to share with each other and it was lovely to hear children complimenting each other on their creations....it had a very 'Great British Bake Off' [...]
Class 4 started their DT project on vehicles this week with a challenge: can you make a vehicle that will carry a passenger safely down a ramp? They had just 45 minutes to design and build their vehicle from scratch! Every group succeeded in keeping their passenger safe, and the winning vehicle travelled an impressive 3.8 metres! [...]
Beaford Arts came in to school with Tortoise and Hare's friends today and even handed out invites to Hare's birthday party at the village hall this weekend. We did some character making, storytelling, juicing and painting too - it was fun! I've heard the burrow under the village hall is going to be exposed over the weekend so Hare can share [...]
Well done Ella; I just love the method you've got for working out percentages of an amount. This was quite a tricky one to work out! I wonder if anyone could pose another similar question on the comments below?
Here are some extracts from the diary entries the children have written about their recent trip to Combe Martin Wildlife Park. Enjoy! Evie Yesterday was very fun! I went on a school trip to Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park. When I got there (with my class) we saw the big dinosaurs and went to sit down for a [...]
Classes 1 and 2 had a lovely walk around Wistlandpound Reservoir, spotting all sorts of things. Thank you to all the parents who gave up their time to help us. It turned out to be a beautiful (but chilly) day.........what a great place to live!
