After Friday, I think we are all 'Knock Knock' and 'What do you call a...' worn out! Lots of jokes meant lots of laughter coming from Primrose Class which was a joy to hear! The sea of red in assembly too was also pretty impressive! Thanks for all your efforts to help us celebrate Red Nose Day…

WOW! What a gorgeous event for all the lovely ladies who deserve lots of appreciation! From bingo to bouquets… it sure was an afternoon full of love, cake and competitiveness! A big well done to all of our deserved winners!

If these pictures are anything to go by, we had a right giraffe at Paignton Zoo today. Though, we should address the elephant in the…

Once all the schools had been made, it was time to put them to the test! First, we tested how waterproof they were. We started with a droplet of water, then a spoonful and finally, a whole cup of water! All of the schools were pretty waterproof and would definitely have kept the piggies dry! We…

What a fantastic day!

We have all been inspired to get reading by the wonderful author, Andy Seed! He had us all giggling away as we recited poems, played with language and learnt what it takes to be an author (especially with the perks he mentioned like… being your own boss and eating biscuits…
