• Art Festival 2014

  Wed 30 Apr 2014

  This year our school art exhibition is based on flight. Everyone has been working very hard to get their piece of art work perfect for the show which is on next bank holiday in the school hall.

  Everyone has made a cracking start to their project at school. Class Six have made battle birds. That means that we had a bottle and we made wings, we stuck them on with Mr Sentance’s hot glue gun and after that we had to stick on a beak. Last of all we had to use Paper-Mache and coloured paper to make them look nice.

  One of our projects had to be done at home. We had to do something to do with flying, most people did birds but some people didn't.

  Someone even did a flying dog – how weird.

  This year it’s amazing because we are having our exhibition in the new school hall. All of our work will be hung up and displayed so come an see it on Saturday 3rd, Sunday 4th and Monday 5th of May.

  Overall everyone is really excited – especially me !

• Sandy Brown 2014

  Tue 29 Apr 2014

  A few children from year Six went to Sandy Brown’s workshop just before Easter. Sandy brown is an internationally famous potter and sculptor who works in Appledore.

  In the first part of the morning we did clay work. Sandy told us that we should let our hands do the work and not plan. E had to make something to do with flight. We made birds and butterflies but Sandy made flying saucers !

  After a snack she let us do whatever we wanted with clay. Everyone was really creative and we ended up with lots of different ideas and creations.

  Later on we had a look around in her gallery upstairs where Sandy had lots of wonderful pots. After a good look we went back down and she had put out tiles and glaze. Glaze is what decorate pots with. We decorated our tiles with glaze and everyone had two different colourful tiles by the end of the afternoon.

  I had a great time ( I think we all did ) and I wish I could go again.
  A big thank you to everyone who made this possible.

• Class 4 Museum 2014

  Wed 09 Apr 2014

  On Thursday 3rd April, class 4 set up a museum and pretended they were historians for a day. We had been planning this event for a couple of weeks.

  Mr Lewis gave us a sheet of information to fill out , on the sheet there were questions like what topic are you going to do? WW1, WW2 or Egyptians etc?  What things do you need to make your stall? What games are you going to do?

  Some people brought historical artifacts in from home to use for their stall, as well as that we had to learn 5 amazing facts.

  Before morning break we made sure everything was ok and Mr Lewis gave us a wish list which we could write 3 things we wanted like laminating, photocopying and printing.

  After break we opened the Museum and throughout the day had over 150 children through our doors and parents as well. It was hard work but once we got further into the day it was a lot easier.

  On Friday Alan Strike came and brought in WW1 artefacts to show our class. He brought things like a rifle and barbed wire etc and told us all about them. He said he dug them up from Belgium and France. The stuff was really cool because to see all the things used in the first World war and to think about how long ago it was.

• First Ever Assembly !!!

  Tue 08 Apr 2014
  This photo represents a big moment for us !!
  
  It's the last day of the Spring Term and for the very first time we've been able to go in to our new school hall for an assembly (even though it's not quite finished !).
  Our rock band played three songs, we gave out over seventy gymnastics certificates and in addition to this everyone got a chocolate Easter Bunny from our PTA's Easter Egg Hunt.
  
  We're really looking forward to next term when everything will be finished and we'll be using the hall properly for sport, drama, music school dinners, assemblies, concerts, plays, our up-coming art exhibition and a million other things !!!

  

• First Concert !

  Fri 04 Apr 2014
  We've been practicing hard for several months and it was brilliant to be able to go over to Holsworthy Primary School where we were able to perform to several local schools.
  
  As you can hear it went pretty well and we're now looking forward to many more concerts during the Summer Term.

  

• Easter Egg Hunt

  Tue 01 Apr 2014
  Everyone had a great time during the last afternoon of term because our PTA organised an Easter Egg Hunt.
  
  There were clues all over school and once we had found them and solved them we had to rearrange the letters to spell out an Easter message.
  The best bit was that everyone got a nice big chocolate Easter Bunny when they had finished.
  
  Our PTA works really hard for us and we're really grateful to them for putting on such a fun event !
