I dunno, I just pop to the pub for "15 burgers please" and my phone pops up with 120 emails and several texts. Technology can be a pain sometimes. What a full on trip, but brilliant trip. They're a cracking group and they are loving it! I'd post a photo of Alfred's birthday, but that takes upload time. Oh, and [...]
It’s been a busy week here in Class 4! We’ve come to the end of our assessment week, but for the year 6 children, this also meant SATs week. We told them to “reach for the stars” (only just refraining from bursting into S Club 7) and oh my goodness, didn’t they just! They have truly worked their socks off [...]
Whilst Year 6 had their final 'Fake-SATs' paper this morning, I had year 5 and went through some of the more tricky questions from yesterday's maths paper. This question actually started from a cubed number question where drawings make this a bit easier. Although, you've got to draw a cube, which is harder than you think! Here's one of the [...]
This video really does capture everything fun about our year 6's residential to London. The children were Kind, Curious, Confident, a Community, Adventurous and certainly Ambitious too. It was also a delight to have taken them and help them through the week!
We’re all back safely, exhausted but happy, with lots of special memories made before we all go off on our next adventure to “big school”. To our parents: your children have been absolutely amazing and should be really, really proud of themselves. They attempted challenging tasks with a smile and determination, even when they were a bit scared. They encouraged [...]
Just leaving Membury Services and since it's raining and we can't play on the green, we're going to be early. ETA 3pm
After a chilled movie evening watching School of Rock, we all settled down for the night (finally, a warm cup of tea!). Until the clock struck twelve and the thundering of elephants on creaky floorboards alerted us to an emergency of the bump kind. Giant floor bed created to cheer up our wounded soldier (how Thea slept through that I’ll [...]
YESTERDAY EVENING"I was the first one asleep!""I was asleep WAY before Miss Sobey checked on us!" BREAKFAST"We had pain au chocolat and croissants!""Oh, it was yummy.""What do you mean, what did you think about breakfast? ...It was divine. The chocolate melted in my mouth and the pastry went crunch, crunch, crunch." SCIENCE MUSEUMArthur was labelled our Crash Test Dummy yesterday [...]
Day 2 in London. Certainly a first - we actually had to wake the children up this time. Breakfast was served by Miss Trute in our lodge and we were ready for the outdoor centre in plenty of time. We left the lodge in drizzle but arrived (it's nextdoor!) to blazing sun! Climbing first and some holds surprised us with [...]
Got to be quick here... They'll be up at the crack of dawn and I'll be shattered if I don't. We met at the train station, which confused one or two since we were off in a minibus. Emma Trueman took some excellent Manchester Band style photos before we set off too, thanks. There was the M5, M4, M25 & [...]
