• Year Four Filming

  Thu 31 Mar 2016
  Class 4 have been filming reports for our Boxing Day 2004 Tsunami.
  The children have filmed two parts to their report; a ‘studio’ part that we filmed in school and a ‘live at the scene’ interview that they filmed at Crooklet’s Beach, in Bude, in the rain.

  

• Art Teaching

  Thu 31 Mar 2016

  At a time when we've been hearing so much about SATs, and the increasing lack of creativity in schools, it's great to see this group of Year Five children enjoying the sunshine, and working on their art skills, on our school field.

  It's also great to be able to welcome Simon Young, who has taught climbing in school for many years, to our "art team".
  In a previous life Simon ran the art department at Shebbear College and it's wonderful that he is now available to work with us.

  

• School Garden 2016

  Tue 22 Mar 2016

  Richard and Louise have been coming into school this year to work with our children in our school garden. It’s great to see it being used so well and to hear about all of the plans that are being developed for the future.

   

  Children from across the school have been hard at work with the intention of planting, growing, harvesting and then eating the things that we grow – hopefully as part of a school dinner later in the year.

  

• Holsworthy Area Rugby 2016

  Sun 20 Mar 2016

  We had a very successful afternoon of rugby this week when we went over to Holsworthy College to play in a rugby tournament against other local schools.

   

  Wins against Halwill and Holsworthy Primary meant that our A-Team ended up playing our B-Team in the final. This was a very close match and a credit to the children's hard work during the afternoon and in training.

   

  The final score was 6 - 4 to our A-Team, however everyone is happy because both teams have qualified for the Area Finals in Barnstaple this April.

• Brass Exams 2016

  Wed 16 Mar 2016
  On 16th March, some of the members of our brass group headed to Barnstaple to take part in their ABRSM musical exams. 
  As you can see, it wasn't all hard work, and we had lots of fun and ice cream in the process!
  We are really proud of all of the hard work the children put in to get to this point, and are now eagerly awaiting the results!

• Regional Floor and Vault 2016

  Sat 12 Mar 2016

  Our mixed team won the South West Regional Floor and Vault Competition last weekend to qualify for the National Finals in Stoke at the end of April. Well done to Amelia and Maya in Year Six, Holly in Year Five and Isaac and Josh in Year Three. In addition to winning a team Gold Medal Isaac also finished in first place in the Under Eleven Individual Competition; which is exceptional given he's only in Year Three.

  

• Area Hockey Finals 2016

  Thu 10 Mar 2016

  Our Hockey Team won the area hockey tournament, which was held at Holsworthy College this March, to qualify for the County Finals in South Devon again. We've been training hard on the hockey pitches at Budehaven School every Monday after school this term so that we could prepare for the competition - and our work paid off because we played some excellent hockey to win.
