Our School Council meetings take place every month so that I can share my thoughts and make some decisions alongside representatives from every class. They, in turn, read minutes back to the rest of their class and discuss the items we spoke about. For a while now, some of the year 6 children have made comments about portion sizes being [...]
Year 5 & 6 are off to a good start, beginning, day one. They've commenced, and even looked at dictionaries, thesauri/ thesauruses and also explored the etymology (history / origin) of words! They really are a great bunch. They're brilliant, lovely, marvelous, the best, wonderful, fantastic... Enormous?... Colossal?... Famous?... (Mmm, thesaurus and dictionary work again next week!)
Most children were involved in lots of activity and games on our new playground markings today. Apart from being Martha's Dad, Ben Cox is the lead coach for 'Inspired Playgrounds' and he came in to help us all with an additional free session. Ben led the children in some playground sessions, helped explain how to use the markings to our [...]
A wonderful start to the week with lots of children setting themselves swimming challenges - how much or how far can they swim given an hour in the pool? Some children only challenged themselves to a small distance but this doesn't matter a jot - I was fortunate enough to follow one of these children doing only 4 lengths and [...]
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 [...]
Alfie the bunny is officially ready for his Christmas break after meeting every child in Class 4, 3, 2, 1 ... and even pre-school! Merry Christmas every'bun' !
What a fantastic afternoon - here are our proud children manning their stalls...
Well done to Year 5/6 who were absolute troopers yesterday in the rather miserable weather! They had a fantastic day with Ben from Inspired Playgrounds, learning how to lead the younger children in active play games using our snazzy new playground markings. The children were simply AMAZING, taking on their role as leader very seriously - it was lovely to [...]
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 [...]
As part of our #SingleUse #PlasticFree journey, we decided not to have Christmas Crackers at Christmas dinner on Thursday. However, I suggested class 4 make paper hats for the whole school to wear. After a *very* busy afternoon we now have 104 paper hats all decorated and ready to wear. I told the children I'd perhaps been too ambitious with [...]
