Today classes 3 and 4 found out about how the brain works and helps us to learn new things. The rest of this Blog is written in the words of class 4 sharing their thoughts about our morning. We found out about the human brain by watching a boy who was worried about tests travel inside his own brain-Jazz We [...]
We had a fantastic day with The National Trust! First we had a trail around the Warren to answer facts about WWII. We also had an assault course across the beach, navigating our way through a minefield with ear defenders and a stick (realistic mines buried below!), commando rolling under nets and a mock grenade practice on trenches. We heard [...]
Class 3 look set to be the next generation of Davis Cup Winners if today was anything to go by! They really performed well at the Tarka Tennis Centre and had great fun, especially in the beat the teacher competition where they well and truly beat me (one team scoring 20 - Love)
Class 3 travelled back in time to the 1940s with a workshop led by Exeter's Royal Albert Memorial Museum or RAMM. The children took part in a Morse code workshop as well as learning about all aspects of the Homefront through artefacts and drama. They all looked the part in their WWII costumes so well done to everyone and we [...]

We were all really proud of Class 3 yesterday as the Space Centre commented on how fantastically behaved the class were, as well as asking some brilliant questions.

In class 3 this afternoon we were learning about food chains. So....the children had to carry out research to find a food chain BUT they then display it in a way that would capture the interest of the audience. This meant they couldn't just draw a food chain in the traditional way like the one below.... but they had to get creative. [...]
Class 3 designed and launched their own rockets as part of their Space Topic. They went incredibly high with 2 landing on playgroup's roof, 6 in the wheatfield and one in an oak tree! [/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
In class 3 we talked about how different our environment would be if it wasn't managed. We decided that instead of having a school, houses, roads and shops there would just be trees and woodland. Although we thought about how altering the natural environment can be a bad thing, we also thought of ways that change can be good. One [...]
Class 3 had a fantastic day on Croyde Beach at a Volleyball Festival. Luckily, the rain held off and we had a great time getting to know some of the other schools as well as being supported by the Braunton Academy students. 2 of our girls won their league and one of our pupils also won the "Spirit of the [...]
