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 [...]

For the last week we have been doing our best to keep the little ones happy, entertained and comfortable without letting the rising temperatures get to their little heads! Especially as our numbers are picking up, the room is getting fuller. We've tackled this by [...]
Lundy Cabbage and the Lundy Cabbage Beetle found! So was our Accommodation, The Barn, our bags, teddy bears & food. And after a tour of the southern end of the island, climbed 147 steps of the lighthouse and orienteered round the village we've eaten pasta, had Keri's surprise pudding and are about to explore the 'tennis courts' playground. (Everyone's fine [...]
With the weather being so hot, we wondered how we could make our PE lesson a bit more enjoyable... Water dodgeball was very popular! We worked in teams of 6, collected sponge balls from the bucket of water and aimed it at the opposite team. It was a great way to cool down and it was so much fun! :D [...]
Class 1 and 2 had a great day at the beach on Thursday. The weather was perfect for a stroll to Putsborough. We had lunch on the rocks, played football and had a sandcastle competition. Thank you to all of our helpers, who made the day run smoothly!
