On Friday morning we had to postpone planned activities to make room for the children’s extremely strong desire to hoover. Naturally we weren’t inclined to argue and just decided to go with it. Let’s face it, as we all know, any opportunity that should arise in which young people decide to help out domestically should not be taken for granted. [...]
Hi, I'm George and I'm a shrimp. I had a brilliant time today apart from a short amount of time in a blue bucket. As from yesterday, I always thought plastic was in the sea and always had been, but I learnt something amazing today after wearing a VR Headset. (Don't ask how the headset was made or who made [...]
We have our own cherry tomatoes going on the salad trolley today. Picked by Rebecca :-)
On Saturday a wonderful thing happened. At 10am sharp an amazing group of people came together. Forks and shovels in hand, the team of volunteers (adults and kids) dedicated their time and energy to make a start on developing the new Forest Village for the school. We are stunned at how much graft went in and how much was achieved [...]
Today we had a very special visitor in Class 4 - Tamsin Cooke, author of The Cat Burglar and the Stunt Double series. The children had a fantastic time learning about how real authors plan and write their stories and Tamsin gave them some useful top tips... 1. Carry a notebook (everywhere!). 2. Have a great main character. 3. The [...]
You may or may not know that Mr Thomas, Miss Summerville and Miss Smale are in a choir for staff in all walks of educational positions, called Teachers Rock®. It's a choir that meets every month or so, and performs every now and then around the South West. We have an exciting project taking place at Exeter Cathedral on the [...]

A lovely display of harvest produce, with coins sellotaped on top too, ready to take to church later at 2.30 if you'd like to join us, [...]

Thank you and a huge well done to 'FROGS' Ted & 'Governor' David for their time today. Our open library space is now looking very plush and we've some lovely looking cubby holes to put our children's art work in to, as well as our books and some frustrated heads too. Our slow & steady improvement schedule has focused on [...]
Class 2 had a fabulous day out at Dunster Castle, thanks to the wonderful setting and some brilliant workshops laid on by the National Trust. We had the Great Hall all to ourselves and practised our Knightly skills, including jousting and sword fighting. We learnt that a knight would start his apprenticeship at 7 years old! We saw all the [...]
