The train journey was also great [...]
We had our first cross country competition on Friday! We did incredibly well. Schools across Devon took part in this BIG cross country race. Georgeham did so well! We got muddy, we got wet but most importantly we have fun!! Well done to all of the incredible runners and thank you to parent helpers that made it possible!

Along the way we saw some of the [...]

We tested the conditions for growing [...]
