Georgeham's team of intrepid cross country runners were reduced in size but not in gusto this weekend with Martha, Jet and Presley flying the flag for the school team in the U11 and U9 races. The event was the first of the year and the 5th in the season and took place at Shebbear College (in the middle of nowhere [...]
This weekend our cross country team raced in the final meet of the year and the soggy and exposed course around Northam Burrows. Two words sum them up. Resilient Heroes. The boys ran in freezing hail and wind barely keeping their shoes on in the mud and through the trenches. The girls were slightly luckier as the sun peeked out [...]
Following on from our previous post, the debate went really badly and we lost... but then we were arguing in the position of a Packaging Manager and actually, didn't believe in what we had to put forward! Backtrack... Our Eco Council went to the Met Office building today to take part in the first ever SAS Plastic Free Conference. SAS' [...]
Our Eco Council has been invited by Surfers Against Sewage to take part in a debate on Tuesday, one that's going to be extremely challenging... we're playing the part of a Packaging Manufacture and we're supporting the motion that the plastic free programme should be put on pause for another 20 years! This caused some confusion in our brief discussion [...]
Well done to all our swimmers this morning! Terrific start to the week, and my voice may now be shattered by all that shouting! Thanks to Paul Trueman for helping out. (And I know he was shouting more than I was!)
A reminder about the Swimming Gala tomorrow (specific children in classes 3 and 4 were given their swimming reminder sheet last week.) Normal registration at school... the coach from the village hall... and hopefully finished for 12.30. The letter issued does say about bringing a packed lunch please! Parents have been reminded that ... "they must keep fire exits clear [...]
So Mary and Joseph were at church this morning, and so were a lot of the community, as well as some coffee and cake too. I'm sure Mary just wanted a bit of breathing space in her condition, bless her, but after a few chocolate brownies and a bit of a give-away of the story sung by the school chidren, [...]
Wow! What an amazing night at Exeter Cathedral. It was a long day, with rehearsals throughout the afternoon... but Georgeham were fantastic! We are so proud of how hard the children have worked this term. They showed confidence throughout all of their performances and it was lovely to see how much they enjoyed themselves. Well done to every single one [...]
That tough question about whether to laminate!? Written by children this week, these prayers will be displayed on the Crib, on the Green, on Sunday. They're going to need to be weather proof so the community can come and read them and pray about their what they say. Do come along as it's always a lovely community service... and our [...]
Such a busy week this one... with a packed agenda at Ilfracombe Pool for Class 3 and Class 4 squashed in as well. HUGE thanks to Tamsin (Indie's Mum) and Paul (Theo's Dad) for helping out. I think it was certainly because of their help that the lifeguards said it was one of their best school sessions they've had! What [...]
