We had great fun at the end of last term protecting eggs from a fatal traffic accident. The class were asked to build a vehicle with wheels that would protect an egg from cracking after speeding down a ramp and crashing into a wall. The children came up with various safety features ranging from seat belts, to egg helmets. 

Uniform free day was a huge hit! We had a very comfy time completing our lessons in our pyjamas and onesies. The range of bed wear we had at school was very impressive :) 

​We recently completed a two day story telling workshop by Dartmoor based, professional storytellers and educators Lisa Schneidau and Sara Hurley. It was a project to re-imagine Dartmoor folk tales for the times we live in - called ‘Chasing Crockern. We learned story telling techniques and developed our drama skills to help create our own Dartmoor folk tale. 

Keep an eye out for the home learning updates and curriculum news for summer term that will be sent out to parents this week. This will let you know the upcoming topics in most of our lessons and what the pupils could be doing at home to support their learning. 

We would really like a big push on times tables, especially the year 4's, as they have their statutory multiplication check test in June. We have been really impressed by the progress both the year groups have made towards learning their times tables. Some of the kids are quicker than the teachers!
