We were finding it a bit hard to understand the 3 dimensions that are needed to work out volume so we decided to show it with children. Here is our representation of a volume of 6 children....with 3 children long, 1 child high and 2 children deep. Great fun and everyone seemed much clearer about volume.
Hello and welcome to another Stepping Stones blog post, being sent to you all the way from Never Neverland. Since our last post the plan was to move on from the Peter Pan theme and start exploring Jack and the Beanstalk. However, it appears that Mandy, Harriet and I are far better at channeling our inner Pirates/Crocodiles than we are [...]
A huge well done to Class 4 for organising some great activities this afternoon for Classes 2 and 3. Everyone did brilliantly...and the sun shone!
A big thank you, from all of class 1 and 2, for sharing your holiday stories and photos! One of our Class 3 girls recently went on holiday to Sydney, Australia. To fit in with our topic, she offered to come and share her holiday with us! She spoke with confidence and taught us lots about Australia. We especially liked [...]
This is a test blog post.... But while I'm here - Blogs get emailed to subscribers and posted to Facebook as well as appear on the front page of our website. It's a really good way to get the message out about immediate things, like snow closures. (Wishful thinking I know!) :-)
Years 1 and 2 had lots of fun during the Multi-Skills session this morning. Braunton School put on lots of activities for us; throwing and catching, hula-hooping, skipping, balancing beanbags and lots more!

A big 'thank you' to Dennis and Lesley at Brynsworthy for the very interesting visit this morning. Hopefully, your child can impress you with some facts about recycling in North Devon!
We have just come to the end of our 'addition and subtraction' unit in maths. We are so proud of the amazing work the children have been doing! Reception have been looking and lots of different ways they can add and take away. We've used beanbags and hoops, numicon, drawing dots and counting on fingers. We've been working hard on [...]
This afternoon, Class 1 were invited to join Class 2 for a peer reading session! Class 2 had made storybooks for their own version of 'The Three Little Pigs'. They changed the animals within their stories to fit in with their Australian topic! We heard stories such as; The Three Little Koalas, and The Three Little Joey's. Year 2s read [...]
It has been a very exciting couple of weeks at Stepping Stones as we have converted both the classroom and the forest area into Never Neverland. Looking at the story of Peter Pan as part of our 'near and far' topic, there hasn't been any time for a dull moment. Pirates, magic pixie dust, ticking crocodiles and mermaid lagoons have [...]
