It’s been a peculiar couple of weeks for Stepping Stones with lots of changes, however it definitely feels like things are starting to take shape. :) Last week we started to talk about Spring and the children have absolutely loved group discussions about what happens during Springtime. We have had lots of stories to support the topic, have been practicing [...]
Over the last two weeks we've been looking at measurement. Last week we were looking at the difference between height and length. We created a class height chart and compared each others height! We also used cubes to measure length and year 1s were using rulers to compare the length and width of different objects! Eli and Gil decided to [...]
Another surprising weekend / Sunday of fun! We cleared the playground and pathways this morning, with some initial work on Sunday afternoon (the photo above) but had to delay the start of school due to the amount of ice on the road. Communication seems to have worked well with Facebook (Twitter pushes its post to our FB Page) and Devon [...]
There will be a Parenting Plus Adolescents Program starting at Taw View on April 23rd, 10am-12.30pm. This program promotes effective communication and positive relationships in families with adolescents aged 11-16years. The program is for parents only to attend and the school needs to complete the (easy-to-complete) referral form on your behalf. Please come and ask Mr Thomas about this if you'd [...]
Last week class 3 baked their own Egyptian flatbreads based on a Jamie Oliver recipe (which you can download at the bottom of this post!). Everyone had tasted a range of breads beforehand and from this designed their own flavor bread, as well as the packaging to go with it. It was quite hard (and messy) work getting the dough [...]
Did you know I was in a choir? (Miss Summerville and Miss Smale have joined too!) "Teachers Rock" started as a Devon teachers' choir and has grown over the past 5 years to include about 4 counties now. Today was our first Teachers Youth Choir rehearsal including 120 children from all over Devon... all rehearsing in preparation for cutting a [...]
A slow burning start with a few worrying moments and some team talks needed about silly mistakes that should have been drilled out by now... But... Georgeham won the Learning Community's Football Tournament! An amazing afternoon clawing back and working perfectly together showed that our small school really does play towards huge horizons, albeit muddy ones. Some amazing players and [...]
Class 4 had a great time making felt pots with Caroline from Beaford Arts. It was a very challenging task, with lots of resilience needed, but everyone was really pleased with their finished product. 😀
We had a great morning at the multi-skills festival! We did lots of different activities.'I really liked doing the balance on the bench!' - Arwen. 'I loved jumping!' - Harry 'My favourite was throwing the beanbag into the hoop' - Tilly We practiced our jumping and hopping, catching, throwing and aiming, jumping on two feet and using a skipping rope! [...]
Of course... It was also World Book Day today too! A few excellent characters came to school today. I could possibly name two of these three in the photo... Who on earth is Rob dressed as though; I'm stumped!? Have fun on Snow Day. Build something - even an igloo for a teddy bear? But also don't miss the impromptu [...]
