BREAKFAST"We had pain au chocolat and croissants!""Oh, it was yummy.""What do you mean, what did you think about breakfast? ...It was divine.

London Day 2…
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:26:59+01:00Day 2 in London. Certainly a first - we actually had to wake the children up this time. Breakfast was served by Miss Trute in our lodge and we were ready for the outdoor centre in plenty of time. We left the lodge in drizzle but arrived (it's nextdoor!) to blazing sun! Climbing first and some holds surprised us with [...]
London Day 1…
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:26:59+01:00Got to be quick here... They'll be up at the crack of dawn and I'll be shattered if I don't. We met at the train station, which confused one or two since we were off in a minibus. Emma Trueman took some excellent Manchester Band style photos before we set off too, thanks. There was the M5, M4, M25 & [...]
Even Save The Spiders!
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:26:59+01:00We were stormed by a huge swarm of horribly, large flies at lunchtime, and it inspired some to take drastic action! [Post Edit (thanks Matt) https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-explorer/invertebrates/flies/st-marks-fly] Some jumped on, poked and splatted them, others started a chant to save them. Isla even wrote a persuasive poster - Save The Bugs... (and even save the spiders!) Save The Insects poster.pdfDownload [...]
Remembrance Tree…
Julian Thomas2021-04-22T14:20:26+01:00This morning, several children from each school in the Braunton Learning Cooperative Trust went to the small green in the centre of Braunton to plant a tree and dedicate it to Captain Sir Tom Moore. The BLC Trust thought that this inspirational man and the duties he'd carried over his 99 years, represented so much of our own individual schools' [...]
Welcome back!
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:26:59+01:00Everything's been so busy on our return - we wanted to blog yesterday but we've just had so much to do! Our return has of course been made so much more pleasant with the weather. We were talking in our (two) staffrooms that the children have settled in really well, and have really enjoyed playing on the field with their [...]
EYFS Forest Village, part3.
Julian Thomas2021-04-06T17:04:18+01:00It seems like ages since we've been in the Forest Village area to do any work, and even though we've most probably done parts 3, 4, and part 5 already, today seemed like the first time we've been back since we had the builders in. Since last summer, we've had a 20 foot square canopy erected over the artificial turf [...]
Contact tracing over the Easter holidays…
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:26:59+01:00The DfE have asked that children and parents (and staff) get in touch with us if symptoms start, or there's a positive case of Coronavirus, within two days of being at school. That's Friday and Saturday for symptoms, and a positive result that could possibly be returned as late Wednesday, that you contact us please... at head@georgeham-primary.devon.sch.uk We would then [...]
School Lunches treats…
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:26:59+01:00Keri has made cupcakes for school lunches today and what with it being Easter, of course they HAD to be chocolate related and have eggs involved too! Darn it, I missed a trick... I brought in left-overs from last night! :-( Just to recap on chocolates, sweets and treats in school, we do share things at Easter and Christmas and [...]
