On Friday we started to think about how we could use classification systems to identify plants that are actually very similar-this means we couldn’t just identify them by colour or size. To help us do this we created our own botanical drawings to let us think about the features of each plant such as the shape of the petals and the [...]
UPDATE: Our video on YouTube! Hope you enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mypmHQ7FpM What an unforgettable, enjoyable and purely LOVELY residential we've just returned from! Once I've compiled all the Go-Pro footage together and got some strength back (blimey, I'm tired today!) I'll think about writing something that makes sense here!! In the meantime, here are a few photos to whet your appetite! [...]
Everyone did so well with their fantastic pictures celebrating Queen Elizabeth's 90th Birthday for the Braunton Rotary Club. Here are the winners!
Class 3 had a fantastic day on Croyde Beach at a Volleyball Festival. Luckily, the rain held off and we had a great time getting to know some of the other schools as well as being supported by the Braunton Academy students. 2 of our girls won their league and one of our pupils also won the "Spirit of the [...]
We've had a couple of very carefully worded and impartial conversations about what the EU is and what the Referendum is about. With the school's diary being as it was, we decided to hold the voting today - lining up in the hall after some last minute politicians told us what to do, we crossed in the right box (2 [...]
Class 4 had an amazing day at Oceanfest today. We had a go at the Code Breaker team challenges, competed in the beach flags competition and then spent time looking around the event arena trying out things like Street Art and browsing the stalls. At the end of the afternoon we were able to see Beau and Jess compete in beach [...]
Our School Council came together again on Tuesday to work on a second of the school's Values, that of Forgiveness. We didn't talk about 'Peace' but we'll put the whole thing together and see if we can make sense of it in a few of our assemblies. The children used Sam's Lego model, this time of the school field, and [...]
Class 4's new library make-over is finished! FROGS give each class £50 per term to spend on books, so in class 4 we've been building up a good selection of fiction and non-fiction titles, and thanks to FROGS providing us with some new shelving we now have a great library to display and enjoy our books!
It is days like today that make you realise how lucky we are at our school as we managed to experience life in Space in the Space Odyssey Dome, think about other parts of our own planet that are less fortunate by raising money for Sean AND celebrate a Royal Birthday all in ONE day! Here are just a few of [...]
We had a wonderful lunchtime today... and even though the rain held off in the end, we celebrated the Queen's birthday in a Street Party style but in the school hall! Apparently, so I've heard, the Queen's most favourite meal is indeed Fish and Chips, and so is our children's it seems as Keri made a staggering 106 meals today [...]
