It's lovely to have our parents come and have a look around the school, seeing their children active and learning and finding out how the classroom works, rather than hearing about it, or not (!), over the dinner table. Thanks for coming! ...And a perfect opportunity to spread out lost property out, and offer the use of our Sharpie Pen!
Tony and Dan came back and said that the girls, "represented the school well"... keeping it quiet so that the girls would be able to return to school and share the EXCELLENT NEWS that THEY WON! Some amazing stories were told of fast runners, amazing goals, and saves but also of impeccable respect and sportsmanlike behaviour. Tony also, almost, lost [...]
Class 3 had a fantastic morning working on their tennis skills this Wednesday morning at the Tarka Tennis centre. One of the games was 'Beat the teacher' and we had quite a few winners ☺️ The class were great at supporting and encouraging each other and we really did improve our skills over the course of the morning. Well done [...]
Class 3 made a REAL cloud and made it rain too! Have a listen to their comments on our video!
Class 3 had their first proper handwriting session today. Properly, fully cursive with lead-ins and joins too. The class liked it so much they asked for sheets to take home! I just love it when children ask for homework! There's a big variation of pencil grip in our school, and this is something that we'll need to focus in on. [...]
Class 3 and class 4 had an awesome day at Lee Bay taking part in a BioBlitz to try and record the range of species found in the area. We had the chance to do some rock pooling and pond dipping. We also learnt how to identify different trees and how to use a microscope. It was a fantastic day [...]
Brilliant news everyone... Imogen's story entitled 'The Journey Home' was judged by Emma Carroll and Michael Morpurgo in the Arvon Totleigh Barton Short Story Competition and came in SECOND! "Emma Carroll was funny and down to earth. It was a treat as we have previously read some of her books aloud, so it was really meaningful meeting her in person!" "She [...]
After reading the story over the term, we fully know that Danny's father will be perfectly safe, will get pulled out of the deep trap and will get away from that horrible Hector... but goodness, it's edge of the seat stuff seeing it on film! Everyone's gripped; we have hair being pulled, arms over heads, and jumpers over faces! Fun! [...]
Welcome to both Karen Ivall and Emily Smale to our lovely school! You may have seen Mrs Ivall collecting Class 3 from the playground occasionally these past two weeks... but Miss Smale had her first afternoon with her class and children today in our school's 'Shift-Up Afternoon.' Shift-up afternoons give a great opportunity for our children to see and experience [...]
Our year 2s, 3s and 4s had a fun session this morning at Braunton School where Essex Dance Theatre gave us a brilliant show and then taught us the routine to Bruno Mars' Millionaire. "It was so cool!" said Abigail. "Their dancing was amazing, I want to try to do it again!" said Josie.
