Nurturing Young Minds for a Bright Future


Dear Parents and Carers,  

I am so pleased that we finally had the chance to hold our sports day! Thank you to parents for attending, and we hope you enjoyed watching the children race.

On Wednesday, Mr Pester accompanied some of our year 4 children to the Wildside residential. The children have had a wonderful time out in nature and making friends with children from Umberleigh Academy. We can't wait to hear all about their adventures next week. Thank you to Mr Pester for looking after our children so well and sharing the experience with them.

The juniors who have not been on the residential have also had a lovely few days. On Wednesday, the children were learning about the diet of a Viking. They made their own bread and, of course, tasted it! 

Mrs Joselin worked with the infants and juniors on Thursday to complete some science activities and then Forest School. The juniors ended the week with an online art lesson from Mrs Lawrence at High Bickington School.

We are looking forward to our leavers' assembly, summer picnic and other end-of-term activities next week.

Have a lovely weekend!
