What a brilliant day some of our Class 3 had! The Braunton Learning Community got together and took part in the Northern Devon Springtime Celebration at the Queen's Theatre on Monday night, with 4 of our local schools collaborating on a Country and Western showdown! 11 of our children took part and played Ukeleles, the drums (you know that straw-chewing, [...]
We had an excellent time at St. George's House this week! We had some unexpected great weather for both days. The children spent the first day on Putsborough Beach using rafts, boards and their Ringo inflatable with some great games, including a brilliant 'Battle of the Tide' with two groups making very different fortifications against the incoming tide that both [...]

Here are some of the ones we found tricky. The moon: Sam claimed “people say the moon shines brightly so it must be a light [...]
Class 3 filled a balloon with matter. They thought it would be lighter so we put lots of children on the mat to think about which would be heavier; the mat with children or the mat without children. Interesting predictions! So... Established that filling a balloon with 'stuff' made it heavier (weighing them both to check too) we moved on [...]
Class 3 experimented with solar stills and plant condensation to try and gain some water from thin air! They'll have to see how it ends up tomorrow morning!
