  Our Cross Country Teams have been really busy so far this term, with lots of fixtures and training taking place.

  Recently we were invited to a local schools Cross Country Competition, at Holsworthy Community College.

  All of our teams performed amazingly, and we won the competition for each Under 9 Boys and Girls, and the Under 11 Boys and Girls.

  We also saw some fantastic individual results in these races, with Eleanor and Niall winning the Under 9's races, and Imogen and George winning the Under 11's races.   Millie, Callum, Holly, Aleksandra and Saul also all came home in the top 3 within their races - in all a very successful day!

  

• Macmillan Coffee Morning

  Tue 27 Sep 2016

  We were delighted to hold a Macmillan Coffee Morning in school on Friday morning, to raise money for a very special charity.  
   

  The children were spoilt for choice with so many amazing cakes, and we must thank everyone who donated cakes for us to use.  Special thanks must also go to Teena, our wonderful PTA and our fabulous Year Six helpers.   It was also wonderful to see so many parents in school to help eat the cakes and raise money!  
   

  We will let everyone know how much was raised as soon as we have finished counting!

  

• Alice in Wonderland

  Tue 20 Sep 2016

  This week we were lucky enough to be visited by the M&M Theatre Company, who treated us to their performance of Alice in Wonderland.   We all enjoyed the show very much and everyone got stuck in!  After the show our Year Five class took part in a workshop with the actors, learning about the equipment they use to put the show together, and getting a glimpse of life as an actor!

  

• Jabberwocky - Class Five

  Fri 16 Sep 2016

  As part of their English work this term, Year Five have been studying the poem Jabberwocky.   To support their work they spent the day at Rosemoor Gardens, taking part in a range of activities.  Brooke and Oscar have written a report about the day to explain what they got up to!

   

  Class 5 have recently been on an exciting trip to Rosemoor. We got put into group,s and each group learnt a different verse of the poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll. We did it in sign language and learnt it by heart. Then 2 week‘s later we filmed the whole poem  at Rosemoor.

  We found a good spot and started to film with Alex, we all had the best time in the world. We did the filming in the forest and the park.   We are going to put our video on the YouTube page when it is finished.

   

  Also we did Jabberwocky Go, with our awsome teacher Mrs Turner. We also counted the petals on some of the flowers so we can do an investigation when we get back to school.

   

  Mrs Brauns and her group went down to the forest and started to get lot‘s of ideas, describing words and vocabulary ready for the stories we are going to write.

   

  After that we sadly went back to school, but the next day we wrote a Jabberwocky story in our own version!!!

  This week our Key Stage Two classes were visited by Scary Guy who is currently visiting many schools in North Devon and working with pupils from Route 39 Academy.   We all enjoyed spending time with Scary, and learning about his work.   As the photos here show, everyone had a fantastic time, and it was lovely to see so many parents joining in with the visit.

  The Cross Country season has officially started again.  This year we have over 25 children taking part in the Gliddon and Squire Cross Country League.  The first race of the season took place at Kingsley School, in perfect cross country conditions.  The children performed brilliantly, and after the first race we have some fantastic results.

  Our Under 11 Girls team  made a good start to the season, with Imogen Sutton coming home in the top 15, despite losing both of her shoes halfway around the course!

   

  Finally our Under 11 Boys had a great start to the season, with George Wellington and Saul Barraclough both finishing in the top 20, putting the boys team into 4th place.

   

  A great start to the league – everyone is keen to get stuck in at the next race!!
