The Essex Dance Company bring their group over to North Devon every year for their week-long dance extravaganza. This week, Class 3 were treated to many dances and were challenged to learn and perform a few sequences of their own too. Hopefully, the video clips work!
Thanks to Jacs, we have a little video of our Maypole - dancing The Plait. It was extremely stressful since it was always going wrong in our practice runs (after all, it's the hardest of the dances) and we also had two of the retired 'masters,' watching on from the field! Success though! And very happy & proud!
Today we celebrated the 150th birthday of Georgeham School with an awesome Summer Fete. Thank you so much to all of the FROGS members for organising the event, thank you to parents for supporting the school and to the children for their fantastic enthusiasm today. The Maypole and the Broom Dance have been a traditional at the school for so [...]
Update later! But here's Oscar so far: It's been fun today and we won one match so far and lost three at the moment. It’s also been hot. We played well but we've let a few points through. It has been tiring and some of the matches have been hard. Probably the hardest was Caen; they scored 20 and we [...]
Even an accidental photo showed the plastic we use nowadays! It's everywhere...! And a small 5-minute #TrashMob of the school grounds showed us how much there is, and that even some of our own pupils throw under the Gazebo! We watched the condensed version of 'A Plastic Ocean' and the children could really see what happens to [...]
Thanks to those who came this afternoon... We know there's only a couple of weeks left until we break up but we thought it would be nice to offer an opportunity to look round the school, see what it was like in your child's classroom and to see what they'd done over the year. Lots taking place - here's a [...]
Another amazing trip out to Lundy with the year 5s in the incredible heatwave that we're currently experiencing! (Ironically, it's raining as I write this up!) https://photos.app.goo.gl/XLJnktPqSotfCKiE8 Click there < for our photo album! The trip over was flat and calm and no one was ill; a normal worry for many children and parents. Whilst the tourists panicked their way [...]
A new piece of software we've purchased is TTRockStars. It's a Times-Tables tester but put into a Rock Star context where you can earn money gigging, get new backgrounds, personalise your character and purchase new instruments. It's also done completely anonymously... meet Roxy Friedman (me!) Class 3 and 4 have been using this a little over the year, but only when [...]
To end an amazing week (and I'm blogging in reverse if anyone's noticed) we had the launch of our Teachers Rock YOUTH Choir album last night, Saturday 30th June. TRC has been going for 5 years now and members come from all walks of school life - teachers, admin, TA staff, Headteachers, teacher trainers and retired teachers too. Miss Summerville [...]
