Year 3 have been making Greek Clay Pots. They began by designing their clay pot. They then made their pots using the coiling method and they designed their art work. Once they dried, they painted their design onto their pots and then they evaluated their pots. What do you think of…

To finish our Mary Anning topic, we visited Charmouth so that we could have a go at being fossil hunters.  We used our knowledge from the video that we watched in the Heritage Centre to help us identify the most common fossils, ammonites, belemnites and crinoids.  We found lots of examples of…

This afternoon we heard the story 'Down through the Roof'.  A man who could not walk wanted to be healed by Jesus. When the man’s friends carried him to the house where Jesus was staying, they found the house to be packed with people wanting to hear Jesus and be healed by him. The friends made…

To finish our Kenyan topic, we designed and made our very own African masks, inspired by those that we saw from Rayson, alongside those that we have seen when learning all about the Maasai tribe! We used our knowledge of African patterns and colours to influence our design. 

Here are what…

After a very busy couple of weeks completing our Special Booklets, I' sure you will agree that the children in Primrose class deserved a huge treat for their hard work and determination they have shown. I created an ice-cream parlour for them all to enjoy, where the word 'no, you can't have that…

As an additional sports session, the children were invited to take part in a Torquay United rounders workshop where they were able to build up their throwing skills so that, by the end, they were able to take part in a rounders match with their peers. This was a very active session and one that…

We were ever so lucky today! The children had some very cute visitors in Primrose class... baby chicks! Every child had the opportunity to hold a baby chick and get up close to them. One was particularly noisy which was quite amusing! The children showed great bravery and had big smiles on their…

Today, for our Open the Book Assembly, we looked at the story of David and Goliath. David was a shepherd boy and Goliath was a fearsome warrior. The Israelites and the Philistines were at war and the Philistine army had a giant of a champion called Goliath. No-one has ever been brave enough to…

This half term Open the book performed the story of David and Goliath.  David was a shepherd boy and Goliath a fearsome warrior.  In this story we learned that the Israelites and the Philistines were at war and the Philistine army had a giant of a champion in Goliath. No-one had ever been brave…

A huge well done to Year 6 for completing 6 SATS tests this week!

The children have worked so incredibly hard and we are so proud of them for what they have achieved this week. 

Today, we marked the end of the last paper with a water fight, a nerf gun fight and a film with…

Friday was such a lovely celebration for the King's Coronation, which will be such a memorable event in history for our children! We had such a busy morning where we created a collaborative Coronation banner that will be displayed in the school for years to come. After lunch, we then came together…

Today, a very special visitor, Clive Pig, came in to school to teach us about Ancient Greek Myths. We learnt lots of myths, a new song and even had a go at bartering! We can't wait to continue learning about Ancient Greece in upcoming weeks!
