Last week Class 4 designed and built their own motor powered boats. There were some creative (and original!) ideas, and yesterday was the moment of truth when we raced the boats down a 3m trough... Today is the 'best design' competition...results to be announced soon... A massive thanks to all the paents who helped: Mick, Darrin, Steve, Matt, [...]
Class 4 had a brilliant afternoon at Falcon's gym today. When we first arrived, no one could stop bouncing as pretty much every surface was sprung! After a whole class swim through the foam pit to warm up, we went on the vaults, beams, bars (forwards and backwards!), trampolines, and amazingly bouncy floor. Evie and Flo are making [...]

Hosted by Sam and James (definitely the Ant and Dec of Georgeham School) and judged by our very own pannel of experts, the afternoon saw some talented singers, musicians, dancers and gymnasts all show off their skills. Quite [...]
It takes a very speedy brain to keep up with the conversations of 17 excited children. Sadly, this morning I didn't have a speedy brain and I was on a back foot for most of the day! It's only now, whilst they're writing their diaries and sipping hot chocolate that they've started to calm down, take their time and actually [...]
It was a tense day on Wednesday as the results of the Great Class 4 Car race were revealed....
