Year 6 tucked into their handmade pizzas yesterday for their traditional leavers' lunch. Thanks to Kerry for laying on the feast, and to both Kerry and Mrs Shaddick for providing this year's yr 6 with not 1 but 2 delicious chocolate cakes!!
It was a tense day on Wednesday as the results of the Great Class 4 Car race were revealed.... Everyone in class 4 had managed to design and build a working (mostly) car, and I was amazed at the creativity and imagination shown in this year's range of vehicles. The races were held on Monday afternoon and each car could [...]
Class 4 had a great day at the Braunton School Athletics Festival yesterday competing against years 5 & 6 from all of the Braunton Learning Community primary schools. The day was run as a mini Olympics and our teams (Uganda and Greece) ran, jumped, hurdled and threw their way round 8 different activities designed to test their endurance [...]
So here are some of the photos now that I have reliable WiFi! Day one spent travelling and settling in. Day two's activities and an evening in London. The whole of day three was spent in London. Lots of museums and then Charlie and The Chocolate Factory! We had a relaxing start to the day for [...]
Managed to get a sneaky Geocache in whilst the others play rounders, waiting for the train! ;-) 'Fallen Giants' on the River Lea Navigation
Yet another 'tunnel' sorry, yes we need to walk up this road sorry, yes I know it's a far way, yes the tube took us as close as we could, yes we're doing the show tonight, no it's not a movie it's real people acting, I think it's like the film yes but they may have changed it slightly, I'm [...]

Sam, James and then everyone pretended to be Hercules holding up the world but again they were pleasantly surprised by the escalator going through the centre of [...]
A really slow start this morning. Elaine had to knock progressively harder on the boys' door and Charlie said they had to sacrifice Sam to go and answer it being the closest to the door. 20 minutes until breakfast and we walled out of the door on time - perfect bunch of kids for getting ready and being organised this [...]
That was, honestly, the best overnight so far with both boys and girls being sensible and getting to sleep within 20 minutes of lights out :-) And the morning was just as good with no (too) early starts. In fact, Mia and Amie report that girls' beds are made, the room's tidy and today's things are packed, and it's 730am! [...]
Technologically challenged for the next four days. Titchy internet allowance on my phone, no 3G on the iPad and limited WiFi hot spots as we troop from one place to the next! Maybe at McDonald's later tonight I can get this to send? Left Barnstaple with more tears on the platform (none on the train sorry) and so started the, [...]
