We had great fun in Class 2 today. As part of our RE we continued learning about the Jewish Faith with the Passover. Mrs Holbourn went to Tesco (not Israel) to buy lots of different 'leavened' and 'unleavened' breads to taste. This was because the children of Israel were led out of Egypt by Moses not having time to let [...]
Class 1 were given a challenge earlier. In teams, the children had to make the tallest and strongest tower, using only marshmallows and spaghetti. This was not an easy challenge! There were prizes for the team who could make the best (free-standing) tower and the team that showed the best teamwork skills! Everyone did a great job and learnt a [...]
Class 2 had a lovely day in Ilfracombe yesterday! Huge thanks to the people at the Aquarium and at the Lifeboat Station for making it a really interesting day. Our rock pooling skills didn't prove to be so successful, but lots of fun was had on Tunnels Beach, just enjoying our stunning environment. Thanks to FROGS for the ice-cream and [...]

It was our last netball training session of this season today. Although we were short on numbers with year 6 in London, the girls certainly made up for in enthusiasm and attitude. Player of The Week this week was all of them! They've improved no end getting to grips with footwork, shooting and spacing. Really proud of them. Here they [...]
In Class 1 we have been looking at the story 'Handa's Surprise' and have been learning about different fruits. Yesterday we had a very exciting fruit tasting afternoon. The children were AMAZING and tried everything! :-) They were very grown up and even had a go at trying things that they weren't sure they liked. They often surprised themselves by [...]
The deadline for completion was 2.30pm on Monday, and each boat was given 2 attempts to race down the 3 metre trough - it was a very demanding task as although most of the boats were fine in the paddling pool, getting them to go straight for 3m was way harder! The results for the fastest boats were [...]
What a brilliant day some of our Class 3 had! The Braunton Learning Community got together and took part in the Northern Devon Springtime Celebration at the Queen's Theatre on Monday night, with 4 of our local schools collaborating on a Country and Western showdown! 11 of our children took part and played Ukeleles, the drums (you know that straw-chewing, [...]
Last week Class 4 designed and built their own motor powered boats. There were some creative (and original!) ideas, and yesterday was the moment of truth when we raced the boats down a 3m trough... Today is the 'best design' competition...results to be announced soon... A massive thanks to all the paents who helped: Mick, Darrin, Steve, Matt, [...]
