Today we have been using cuisenaire rods to begin to understand algebra. We did amazingly well! One of our 'wow moments' was when we realised we could use subtraction as well as multiplication and addition in our sentences: O = 3P + W - LG (This means that an orange rod is the same as 3 purple rods added to [...]
Dear Parents and Carers, We would welcome any volunteers (including grandparents) to read with individual children for half an hour, first thing in the morning for each class (8:30 - 9:00). If you would be interested, we would love to hear from you! Please get in touch with Jo in the office or any of the teachers. Thank you!
Due to unforseen circumstances, we've had to rearrange our forest school clear up tomorrow. A new date will be rearranged once we return to school, many thanks to our volunteers who offered to help.
We're looking for any helpers that are free next Thursday (28th October) morning to help tidy up and weed the Forest Village area. If you think you could help - please let Miss Smale know! Tea, coffee and cake will be available :-) Thank you!

We then worked together as a group to make it. We used black card for the road, tissue paper for the lake, shiny [...]

We listened to the story 'There's a pig up my nose' and even got to be the 'backing pig choir' for the books theme tune! The children left [...]
Class 3 had a great walk down the River Lyn with the National Trust today. We started at Hillsford Bridge, following the Hoaroak Water down until it joined (at a confluence!) with the East Lyn at Watersmeet, then continuing down the East Lyn to its journey's end at Lynmouth. It was a beautiful walk where we could see all the [...]
Class 2 had a fantastic day out exploring Watermouth Castle. We saw towers, battlements, arrow slots and flags as well as how a kitchen would have been in a grand castle. In the castle we found the doll’s house made by Keri’s gran (our school cook). All the children had so much fun on all the rides and we were [...]
