Dartmoor Training

Thu 31 May 2012

We completed our second Dartmoor training walk this week.
We're on top of Steeperton Tor where we rested our weary bodies for ten minutes and enjoyed one of the best views on Dartmoor.
It was mostly downhill from here which was good news at this point on a twelve mile walk.

Forest School

Thu 31 May 2012

During this half term the children in class 2 are travelling to Lower Tamar Lake each Friday morning for Forest School. Under the instruction of the Forest School Teacher Louise, the children have been learning the important rules of forest school:, looking after themselves, looking after each other and looking after the woods.

In the first session the children learned about different birds native to the local area, Then they collected a variety of leaves, twigs, flowers etc and in small groups made some beautiful bird collages. After after a yummy hot chocolate and snack around the fire,they were then shown how to lash sticks together in order to make a frame which they attached their birds to using a cowslip knot.

In the second session we learned about where animals live, playing games to match the animal with their homes. We then went into the woods and worked in small groups to build our own dens..As you can see from the pictures each group worked hard together to make their dens individual, Some had doors, windows, beds, and floral decorations.

The children are all really excited to find out what we will be doing over the next 4 weeks.

Netball in the Rain !!!

Mon 28 May 2012

Our Netball A and B teams took part in the Langree Reunites High Five Netball Tournament at Bideford College today - despite the awful weather! We spent six hours playing in the competition, with the A team finishing 3rd in the Cup competition and the B team finishing joint 4th in the Plate. The children all played remarkably well given the horrendous weather at times, and they have impressed everybody with their determination and fabulous attitude throughout the day! Special thanks go to Di Old for running the B team throughout the day and keeping them organised in their first official tournament!

All of our spectators also deserve a special mention for cheering and encouraging all day long, even when soaked to the skin! Fingers crossed for better weather for our next fixtures!

Dartmoor - 2012

Thu 24 May 2012

We've started our Year Six Ten Tors training.
The photo shows us at Sourton Tor at the end of a ten mile walk.
We went up to Bradworthy Moor on Monday to practice our navigation and then headed down to Dartmoor the following day where we had to use compasses and maps to find our way across some very challenging terrain. Including some very steep hills.
Of course it wasn't all hard work !!!
