Herons had a wonderful visit to the Tiverton Museum recently. They learnt lots about life during the war: they were able to experience what it was like to go shopping during rationing times; how people cooked and carried out sewing at home; they dressed up as evacuees and experienced catching a real-life steam train and also experienced an air raid shelter siren whilst sitting in an air raid shelter. They had a fantastic day and learnt lots!
Every half-term we plan to invite a Play Ranger from the school to capture play through the eyes of a child. This week Charlie Heal kindly agreed to be our first Play Ranger to take part in this new initiative. We think that he did a fantastic job – thank you Charlie!
At Forest School recently Kingfishers played beetle tag, after finding a two-handed longhorn beetle before half-term. They looked for different types of mini beasts. We finished the session having fun with a parachute, trying to keep leaves on it as it moved. We did a parachute review, hiding underneath and thinking which activities we could plan! Toasting marshmallows was a favourite suggestion.
Proposed change to the current Year 6 Academy structure
Thank you for your feedback last term regarding the Year 6 Academy.
Having analysed the questionnaire results from children, staff and parents, it is evident that the majority of people are in favour of a change.
School is open, however due to the snow falling today, Y6 pupils will be returned to their home school this morning.
Thursday 17th November 9.15-10.45am & 11am-12pm
Mrs Gilpin will be running a weekly Recorder Club on Friday lunchtimes, for any children that would like to participate.
Children are welcome to bring along their own recorders - but we can also supply ones at the Club if your child does not have one but would like to join in.
Robins and Fledglings had a very special visitor this morning. He 'trip-trapped' his way into The Nest to say hello!
