Archie Cresswell spent his weekend in Guernsey with Braunton Football Club playing at the BMCI Soccer tournament against 20 other teams. They did amazingly well, winning all 10 games in their group. And even though they were 1 point ahead of Group B's winner, Everton Academy, they lost their game with them in the semi-finals. Amazing result for Braunton who [...]
It's SUNNY. And with it this sunny I really did feel that we had to do something about the shade, dust and bird poo covering huge sections of the solar panels. Our year 6 let me down with their water fight so I had to see how far my hose pipe could get to the panels... the spray only just [...]
Yet another successful bike riding day! ...Only a couple of grazed knees and chains fallen off, but altogether an amazingly good day! The Bideford Bunch got there in good time and enjoyed lunch on the beach at Instow. The Fremington Frenzy was a HUGE group but it really worked well this year with amazingly considerate children and helpful parents too. [...]
Update later! But here's Oscar so far: It's been fun today and we won one match so far and lost three at the moment. It’s also been hot. We played well but we've let a few points through. It has been tiring and some of the matches have been hard. Probably the hardest was Caen; they scored 20 and we [...]
Even an accidental photo showed the plastic we use nowadays! It's everywhere...! And a small 5-minute #TrashMob of the school grounds showed us how much there is, and that even some of our own pupils throw under the Gazebo! We watched the condensed version of 'A Plastic Ocean' and the children could really see what happens to [...]
A new piece of software we've purchased is TTRockStars. It's a Times-Tables tester but put into a Rock Star context where you can earn money gigging, get new backgrounds, personalise your character and purchase new instruments. It's also done completely anonymously... meet Roxy Friedman (me!) Class 3 and 4 have been using this a little over the year, but only when [...]
To end an amazing week (and I'm blogging in reverse if anyone's noticed) we had the launch of our Teachers Rock YOUTH Choir album last night, Saturday 30th June. TRC has been going for 5 years now and members come from all walks of school life - teachers, admin, TA staff, Headteachers, teacher trainers and retired teachers too. Miss Summerville [...]

Thanks for coming to the Governors' evening; it was a great evening's opportunity to bounce some ideas and get feedback! We talked about the work we've done in the background and tried to distil exactly what is it about our school that we really like, what we want to be and how we'd get there. We shared our work to [...]
Another brilliant and fun afternoon on the beach... and somewhere along the high tide line Amias, Owen and Fred found Mr Thomas over towards Woolacombe, a couple of miles away, and blazed the trail back to Tony's cafe. Some lovely photos on the blog so make sure you click through to the gallery. It was lovely spending time on the [...]
