We have been working hard on our numbers this week! Reception have been looking at adding numbers together using objects and even moved onto partitioning numbers to 10. We looked at how many ways we could split a number up and we all had a go at writing the number sentence! Year 1s have been working hard on their number [...]
Classes 1 and 2 had a great morning out at Pickwell Barton. We walked over the back fields and met the farmer Andrew Cook and his son Peter, (both former pupils!) We saw the tiny barley crop with its roots and shoot coming from the seed. Walking across towards the farm we were rewarded with fantastic views towards Lundy overlooked [...]
We are setting up an ‘Autumn’ area this week. Therefore, if anybody is braving the weather for a windy walk this weekend...we request any conkers, sticks, pine cones and dry leaves that you may find. Thanks! :-) Miss Smale
What a lovely afternoon's service! Class 4 started us off with a walk through from 1868. What would they put in a Time Capsule back then? We fast tracked back to the present day and opened up their Time Capsule only to start another in the present day... and again we zoomed to the school of the future where they [...]

We had a tour around the school and came up with our own classroom rules. We then had a chance to have an explore of the classroom [...]
Yet another successful bike riding day! ...Only a couple of grazed knees and chains fallen off, but altogether an amazingly good day! The Bideford Bunch got there in good time and enjoyed lunch on the beach at Instow. The Fremington Frenzy was a HUGE group but it really worked well this year with amazingly considerate children and helpful parents too. [...]
