KS1 Theatre Visit What a super day KS1 had visiting the Northcott Theatre to see Fantastically Great Women Who Changed The World! In addition to looking forward to the show, the children were so excited to ride on the coach; for some children it was their first ever coach journey. The musical was brilliant and it has been lovely to hear the children singing some of the songs in school this week. Even an unexpected breakdown didn’t dampen the children's spirits and the fun continued outside of the theatre in the sunshine! The children's behaviour throughout was exemplary - so much so that teachers from other schools complimented them on this. Well done, KS1! Y4/5 Residential VisitThe children from years 4 and 5 had an incredible three days and two nights at PGL Barton Hall. Staff report that the children were amazing. They tried new activities, pushed themselves out of their comfort zones and learnt new skills. They also worked together well as teams to face and overcome challenges. We hope that all the children enjoyed their residential as much as the staff did. Congratulations Year 6A huge well done to Y6 who completed their SATs week cheerfully and calmly. After a week of hard work, they celebrated on Friday with a day at Okehampton YHA where they took part in a variety of adventurous activities. They rounded off the day with a lovely evening BBQ back at school. Over the next term, the Y6 pupils will now be concentrating on becoming the best writers they can be, putting on an end of year performance and looking forward to their Jersey residential at the end of June. Birthday SweetsBefore Covid happened, we encouraged children who wished to give out sweets to their classmates on their birthdays to bring in home baking instead. We are now seeing an increase in children bringing in sweets again. For reasons of both healthy eating and limiting single use plastics, we will no longer be allowing sweets to be distributed. If you would like your child to bring in something for their classmates, please consider a healthy baked snack instead. Please do not feel obliged to have to provide anything. School Meal ChangeThursday 19th May is Census day. We really would like to encourage the children to take part in this and have a school meal, so we will be changing the menu to a Census Celebration menu. Please book as usual through school gateway and contact the office if you would like to change an existing menu choice for that day. Census Day Celebration Menu Main: Cheese Burger Veggi : Veggi Burger Sandwiches :Cheese , Ham or Tuna Mayo All the above will be served with Chips, Beans and Tomato Ketchup Dessert : Celebration Rainbow cake There will be no Jacket Potatoes on this day. University of Exeter Primary Enrichment ProgrammeWelcome to the Primary Enrichment’s new programme of events, which commences on the 6th June – just 3 weeks away! Our apologies for the delay in releasing our summer brochure; we have been busy recruiting new tutors and planning some brand new workshops. From Macbeth to global dance, from genetics to Minecraft, we hope we have something for everyone! The full programme of workshops can be found here. Amongst our new tutors I’m delighted to introduce esteemed local artist and teacher, Liese Webley, whose colourful abstract paintings are inspired by nature. Come and enjoy a wonderful day of printmaking or portraiture, where the use of vibrant colour will be central to the day. Music finally makes its debut, with the brilliant Meg Dowling. I am so excited to see her workshop in action – it promises to be a hands-on day filled with fun and exploration. For the mathematicians amongst you, I am pleased to say we have three workshops on offer this term – from Fibonacci to Tangrams. Emma and Claire are both highly experienced teachers, from local Exeter schools. Courses are now available to book via the online store (this can also be accessed via our homepage). All workshops are £35 each, apart from our after-school book club which is £45. Pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium funding are entitled to two free places per term, fully funded by the university. You will need an access code before you are able to checkout so please email us at [email protected]. If you would like your child to attend one of these courses, please book on following the links above. You will be responsible for transporting your children to and from the event. Please fill in a Request for Absence form to cover any days which your child will not be in school and attach the booking confirmation to this. This absence will then be authorised.
