Minibus

We are on the road again! This all thanks to Fran for passing her Minibus test and the PTFA for arranging a grant to fund it.
Look out for us and give us a wave!

Cricket at Tiverton High

We had our first trip out in the minibus on Thursday. Fran and Melissa took the Year 1's and 2's to the cricket event held at Tiverton High.
All the children took part and had a great time getting involved in the different games. A big thankyou to Dynamo Cricket and Tiverton High GCSE student for running the event.

Exmoor Challenge

On Sunday last week our Exmoor Challenge team completed a very tough walk around Lynton and Lynmouth working on our perseverance and on Thursday we completed a much less picturesque but equally challenging 10 mile walk to Black Dog, working on our navigation skills.

Little Angels

Earth has been our focus this week, working from the book Earth Ninja by Mary Nhin and Jelena Stupar. We have made earth toast whilst looking at global warming, we have been out for a walk discovering our beautiful planet in nature, we have done some recycling and looked at planets and the solar system as well as discerning about the layers of our planet! What a busy week we have had!
