• Summer BBQ 2012

  Fri 20 Jul 2012
  For the first time in three months it stopped raining and we were able to hold or annual BBQ - more or less as planned !
  The high point over the evening was definitely the entertainment which was provided by our Brass Band and Rock Group (The Youngertones).
  Everyone enjoyed the refreshments and bar and as well as stalls and games there were bouncy castles and sumo wrestling.
  We are all really grateful to our PTA for their hard work organising all of the fun.

  

• Leaver's Assembly 2012

  Thu 19 Jul 2012

  Leaver's Assembly 2012 took place on Thursday 19th July.
  
  It was an emotional occasion and the perfect way in which to celebrate the Year Six children's achievements and to wish them the very best for the future as they prepare to start secondary education.
  
  The attitude of this group of children to their work and everything else that school life has offered them has been a wonderful thing to be a part of.
  It has been both a pleasure and a privilege to work with them and to be part of their development over the years and it is great to know that they are ready to move on and to continue their journey.
  We are going to miss all of them a lot and we hope that they will remember their time at Bradworthy fondly.
  
  The ocassion also provided us with an opportunity to say goodbye and good luck to Mike Furber who has been our Deputy for the last fourteen years.
  Mike has played a huge role in our development over these years and our loss is certanily going to be Shebbear College's gain as he take over the headship of their Junior School.
  
  Thank you to all of the parents who came along to share this important occasion with us.

   

  The assembly provided us with the chance to make a number of different awards as these photos show - 
  
  Academic Achievement: Charlotte and Linus.
  Academic Effort: Mia and Oscar.
  
  Sporting Achievement: Shannon and Adam.
  Sporting Effort: Libby, Lucy and William.

  The House Point Cup winners for 2010/11 were Magpie's with the cup being received by their Team Captains, Charlotte and William.

• Zoolab

  Wed 04 Jul 2012

  Zoolab came to school last week with their creatures of amazing Olympic talents!

   

   

  The children cheered on as Maisy the Giant African Millipede raced against Tracey the Madagascan hissing cockroach!!

   

   

  Did you know?

  African giant millipedes can grow 4 legs each time they shed their skin. They secrete a chlorine type liquid which monkeys use to rub over their bodies to get rid of fleas.

   

  Corn Snakes shed their skin every 2 months and eat twice a week.

   

  Female Chilean tarantula’s can live up to 15 yrs unlike the male who can live up to 3 years if they manage to escape after an encounter with a female.

   

  Tarantulas flick venomous hairs from their body to protect themselves.

   

  Cockroaches are the fasted insect on the planet. They have two brains, if they lose their head they can survive for one month.

   

  The Giant African land snail can carry 7 x its own weight on its back! They have 10,000 teeth and like to eat bone to make their shell healthy and strong.

  

• Olympic Torch

  Tue 03 Jul 2012

  We were all very lucky to have Charlotte Broadhead bring her Olympic torch into school last week. Charlotte is a student at Bath University and is highly regarded in the field of sport, specialising in trampolining and youth sports development. She was nominated to carry the torch through Torquay as a result for her efforts.

   

  Charlotte visited each class. We all had chance to hold the torch and ask her questions about the Olympics. Did you know?.... the torch is triangular in shape to represent the three times the Olympics has visited Britain !!

  Did you know ?.....There are 8,000 holes in each torch to represent the 8,000 torch bearers.
