Year 5, on Lundy!
Julian Thomas2023-07-19T18:28:51+01:00Finally... I've got around to making and uploading the video of our wonderful year 5 on Lundy. Enjoy! x MrT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qagwxbygp0I
London Day 1, so far.
Julian Thomas2023-05-15T17:46:14+01:00Train no.1: Chess, trumps, battleships, the Shout Magazine, and a multitude of photos of fields, trees, the river, the train carriage and each other pulling funny faces. Excitedness level 8/10 (average, with a range between 6 and 45 billion) so far, but they think it's going to be 65 when they arrive in London.Train no.2: My goodness me, a busy [...]
Coronation celebrations…
Julian Thomas2023-05-06T13:32:18+01:00Here's our contribution of some Red, White and Blue celebrations for the Coronation weekend. What a brilliant community event. The children really rose to the challenge of some tough and tiring dances. They were also determined to do the hardest Maypole dance, the plait, and managed to unwind it too. It was lovely to hear from several residents and visitors [...]
Class 3’s digestion!
Julian Thomas2023-03-24T17:32:35+00:00Sorry - sensitive post WARNING. Class 3 have been learning about foods, teeth and body parts for a while but we started on digestion last week and I thought a full practical would be a great way to see it all working. How on earth to do this in a classroom?? Well, see below for some horrible photos and a [...]
Pancake flipping in our community!
Julian Thomas2023-02-21T17:30:04+00:00Our first day back at school had two things special about it - the start of our school value, "We Are a Community" and it being Shrove Tuesday too! Love Your Neighbour As Yourself (look at the whoops! Cheers and hugs that Miss Trute got for wining the staff race) And also congratulations to the ever-so competitive Team Parker for [...]
Online Safety update…
Julian Thomas2023-02-16T14:15:20+00:00Considering our children may be spending more time inside and online (given the change of weather halfway through our half term break!) I thought I'd share some online safety information. We blogged about Internet Safety Day before we broke up... but we've also just updated our Safeguarding webpage to include some brilliant and handy support guides. Maintaining a knowledge of [...]
More fossil making…
Julian Thomas2023-02-10T14:18:26+00:00Class 3 made Sediment pebbles a few weeks ago... We made TRACE fossils last week, which is where something leaves a trace that something was there... like Amelie's necklace (dropped and picked up), or Jack's dinosaur footprint. Today, we made BODY fossils. We almost layered our birthday-boy Barney between layers of salt-dough sediment, but we just didn't have enough salt dough [...]
Class 3 Rocks!
Julian Thomas2023-01-27T16:09:49+00:00Class 3 had some fun making real, sedimentary pebbles today! Igneous and metamorphic would be hugely difficult (and we've no resources at all to make those!) but we were successful with little sedimentary rocks.Sedimentary rocks are layers of... sediment. So we layered sand and soil and squashed them very, very tightly. It was quite exciting! The main photo I've used [...]
Our Nativity…
Julian Thomas2022-12-07T20:41:52+00:00How lovely to be back in the church doing a REAL nativity with no Covid restrictions getting in the way. And what a wonderful job they all did - wandering shepherds, lost sheep, dancing kings and the excellent singing and narration from class 3 and 4 too. Well done everyone!
illnesses…
Julian Thomas2022-12-06T17:14:48+00:00It's certainly that time of the year when we have various bugs and illness going around. Please be mindful that if your child is ill with a temperature, they should be off school until it's gone and they feel better, and any illness that involves D&V, the child should be 48 hours clear from the last bout. There's no requirement [...]
