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 Â https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qagwxbygp0I Â
Lundy prep…
Julian Thomas2023-06-25T15:00:59+01:00Year 5ers, it's looking like it's going to be a lovely few days on the island. Not too hot, not too cold, not too dry and thankfully not too wet (only a showerproof should do). I've almost everything packed but, knowing you're probably packing just like me today, don't forget to put in 2 x water bottles. I have some [...]
And they’re back!
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:26:51+01:00I can't recall if it's the smallest postal service in the UK or the oldest, but the children learnt about Lundy's one, and how the stamp doesn't have the queen's head on it and that it goes on the other side of the card; not that they knew which side it should go anyway! Oh, and you have to lick [...]
Lundy, day 2.
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:26:51+01:00Two groups of 4 - Sea Glass Scavengers and Lundy Vibers. Various jobs, such as setting up for breakfasts or sandwich making, washing up or sweeping crumbs - although the Pigmy Shrew did some of that job last night.Letterboxing today took us all the way to the North Light via the quarries, Stone Age hut and seals at the northern [...]
Lundy day 1 (if we get reception!)
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:26:51+01:00What a perfect crossing, and trip so far! Playing on the beach, introduction to letterboxes, settling in to the Barn, making pizzas and listening to the Warden tell us about the wildlife. Here's some photos!

London day 3…
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:26:52+01:00Possibly THREE blog installments for today - we've lots on and I'm squeezing in a quick blog while they shop. For those anxious parents - it's the Science Museum shop, not Harrods or Chanel - (sorry Miss Trute!)
Year 5’s on Lundy
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:26:56+01:00I've caught up on my sleep now, so I thought some children, parents & community would like to see some of the photos of our residential. A great trip that saw the children navigating around the island, as well as cleaning, food prepping and working as a team. [/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
Lundy… Day 1, 2 AND 3!
Julian Thomas2021-07-01T13:20:10+01:00I 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 [...]
(Fake) SATs…
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:26:58+01:00Whilst 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 [...]
Bikeability Level 1 and 2
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:27:03+01:00Our Yr5s have been out this week on their bikes learning lots about their riding skills, road safety and bits of the Highway Code too. Level 1 had them all put through their paces out on the playground, starting, stopping swerving, emergency stopping and also trying to master riding with just one arm on the handlebar. Level 2 was much [...]
