On Tuesday we had the excitement of 2 butterflies emerging from their chrysalis! On Wednesday, we noticed that another two chrysalides had gotten darker, which meant the next two butterflies were getting ready! By Thursday morning we had four butterflies, we fed them bits of orange. Today we took them outside to release them! Three of the [...]
Could you be our next Parent Governor or Clerk to Governors? You may be aware that we are currently seeking to recruit two positions at the school: - A voluntary Parent Governor to join our governing board - A paid, part time Clerk to Governors to administer the work of the governors [...]
What’s on our school’s wish-list and how can you help? [link] So when Santa offers to make a special case for your school (out of his usual wintry seasonable months), you need to get busy and take him up on his kind offer! If your hard-earned cash has been burning a hole in your pocket over the last year, deprived [...]
We learnt a new word yesterday - 'chrysalides' - which means more than one chrysalis! It's a bit tricky to say...(even Miss Smale keeps getting it wrong!!) We moved the chrysalides out of the cup (which was mostly caterpillar poo by this point). It was a bit scary because they are so delicate and we had to make sure we [...]
We received many, brilliantly and very uniquely crafted handprints in to school earlier this week. Thanks to everyone who sent them in... below, is a gallery of photos of them! These will come together with other school children's handprints from the Braunton Learning Cooperative Trust, and will be on display on Friday, on the Tarka Trail, timed for the start [...]
It may not have been Rosemoor, but we had lots of fun at the park this morning. We were so lucky with the weather! We worked in pairs to find different minibeasts; we found black beetles, ants, woodlouse and butterflies! We talked about the different habitats that each minibeast has and where would be a good place to look for [...]
Dear Parents, Unfortunately, we have had to make the decision to cancel the Rosemoor trip arranged for classes 1 and 2 tomorrow. We have been informed that the road between Barnstaple & Torrington is closed all week, which would have meant the coach being diverted through Bideford. The journey time is therefore significantly increased and would have meant that the time [...]
Your feedback is important to us. It helps us think about ways we can improve your children’s experience of school. We’ve compiled a survey to ask for your views, and with 6 tick-boxes and only 3 questions that need a written answer, we’d really appreciate it if you would spend just 3 minutes completing it for us. Thank you. Please [...]
Two out of five are now in their chrysalis. Fingers crossed the other 3 wait another day so that we can watch together!
