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 [...]
After a very early start for everyone (except the boys in room 1 who would have slept through a concert in their room!) It was off to Ilfracombe for Kayaking... Apparently the year 4 girls nearly got wetter than expected during the pirate raids - but luckily some expert boating skills from Mrs Tucker saved the day! Then [...]
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 & [...]
Class 3 had a great trip to RHS Rosemoor on Tuesday linking with our science and 'All about Trees' topic. We had a really interesting workshop where we learnt what plants need to grow and the life cycle of a plant. Isla got watered and Tilly turned into an apple!! Everyone got to plant some seeds and flowers so we [...]
Class 3 had a great day with Tom learning about life in WW2 today. We found out about rationing and life on the homefront as well as working out who was the spy in our classroom (It was the innocent looking Kitty!!). After lunch we had to decipher morse code messages to drop provisions at the correct coordinates on the [...]
Last Wednesday class 3 had an exciting day out when we caught the train to Exeter museum to take part in a series of workshops on our topic of Ancient Egypt. We learnt about the animals of Ancient Egypt, met the museum's own mummy Shep-an-Mut, played a traditional Ancient Egyptian game and even learnt how to mummify! We also had [...]
Class 3 enjoyed a great day with our Roman workshop last Wednesday. We traveled 2,000 years back in time to the year 49CE. We became part of the proud tribe of Britons who lived in Devon at this time called the Dumnonii (dum-no-nie-ee). It was a great way to find out what life was like in Britain during the Roman [...]
Unbelievably, most of class 3 were up (showered!!) dressed and packed up before 7.15 - and some were up WAY before then! Everyone slept well and there are lots of smiles and hungry tummies. Breakfast isn't until 8!
Well, we couldn't really have asked for a more perfect day....beautiful weather, stunning scenery and glassy blue sea to surf in.
Class 3 picked a perfect day to visit Chapel Woods with the National Trust today - the sun even came out this afternoon! We were on a research mission to find out about the threats to Britain's woodland habitats, and the plants and animals that live there. Josh and the National Trust team showed us how how to work out [...]
