  • Reception Pizzas

    Fri 22 Nov 2013

    Sonny, in our Reception Class, became big news when it was
    announced that he was the winner of last month’s ‘Get Kids Cooking Competition’. The competition was set up by Pizza Express, The Children’s Food Trust and Alex James to inspire a million kids to get cooking over the next 12 months.

    He had to follow their recipe to make and decorate his own pizza and send in his photos. His was selected as the wining pizza and his prize was to take his whole class for a pizza making experience at Pizza Express in Barnstaple!

    When we were in Barnstaple, we also took the opportunity to visit the Barnstaple Museum. It is open free for the public and we all had a thoroughly good time exploring the exhibits.

  • Remembrance 2013

    Fri 15 Nov 2013
    On Remembrance Day (11th November) our school walked down to the War Memorial to stand in silence for two minutes. As soon as the church clock struck 11 O'clock the silence started. In the silence we thought about all the people who went to war and we thanked them in our minds.
    After this we listened to a poem about the war and Sir read out the names of the men that died in wars from Bradworthy. To finish the ceremony we said the Lord's Prayer.

    In the ceremony I felt quite sad but at the same time grateful and happy.
    I was sad because of all of the men who had died. I was grateful for all of the food and warmth that I have and not forgetting that it is wonderfully lovely to be at peace.
    When we came came back we made a "Wall of Honour". It featured facts about World War I, poetry about war, pictures and quotes. Some of us had people in our families who went to war and we wrote about them.
    The whole day was about World War I, the "war to end all wars".

  • Divali

    Thu 14 Nov 2013

    As part of the schools promotion of religous and cultural festivals, our school have been learning about Divali.

    This culminated in a Divali celebration assembly where each class had the chance to show some of their work from the week.

     

    As well as learning about Hinduism and the Festival of Lights and the story of Rama and Sita, each class worked on a variety of activities throughout the week.

    These ranged from making rangoli patterns, learning a dance, singing a song, making sweets and writing stories.

     

    For the assembly each class was asked to show something different.

    Reception class had drawn pictures based on the story of Rama and Sita.

    Class 1 had made radical Rangoli patterns.

    Class 2 had made awesome Airavats(Elephants).

    Class 3 had some perfectly painted rangoli patterns.

    Class 4 read out some of their perfect picture books retelling the story of Rama and Sita .

    Class 5 performed a dynamic Divali song.

    Class 6 read out an amazing alternative version of the Rama and Sita story.

    The assembly also included a whole school dance that was based on getting the house ready for Divali.

    After the assembly class 4 had the chance to read their stories to their book buddies from class 1.

     

    Well done to everybody who has worked so hard this week.

  • Philip Leach

    Mon 11 Nov 2013

    On Friday a man visited school called Philip leach, a potter from Bideford.

    Philip talked to us about pots. Then we made our own pots but before we did, Philip leach showed us a slide show about potters. When it was over we made pots by using our hands and a stick. We had lunch and after lunch we did more clay work.

    We had a good time and learned a lot.

  • Roald Dahl

    Fri 08 Nov 2013

    As part of the schools’ initiative to develop a love of reading, we celebrated the work of author Roald Dahl and all the fabulous characters that fill his books - from George and his Marvellous Medicine and those foul Witches, to Matilda with her parent-scaring tricks.

    As part of our celebrations, we held a cake sale and dressed as one of our favourite characters. Along with this, every class in school performed a poem inspired by or written by Roald Dahl in our school assembly.

    Each class took part in a handsome handwriting competition and a Monster Poem writing competition.
    The winners were awarded with Scrumptious Wonka bars as prizes!
