On Tuesday, Year 3 & 4 started their new art unit on printing. They explored the different kinds of prints you could get from classroom objects. They also enjoyed using white ink on black paper.
Year 1 Exmoor Zoo
On Tuesday 26th March, year one enjoyed a visit from Exmoor zoo and found it really interesting. Rob from the zoo brought some interesting animals with him, and we could look at them closely and touch them if we wanted to. We learnt a lot about classifying animals which is helping us greatly with our science topic on Animals.

Holy Week
Year 3 and 4 have been learning about the importance of Holy Week and Easter for Christians, this half term. We have learnt about what happened to Jesus on Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
We have explored why Good Friday is called this even though it is a sad day.
On Friday we welcomed Reverend Humm into school to talk to us about how Christians celebrate the various days in Holy Week.
Exmoor Challenge
Miss Higginson and Mrs Soper took 14 Year 6 children on an eleven and a quarter mile walk as part of their training for the Exmoor Challenge. They all arrived to start at 8:15am at Lowdells car park at the far end of the Grand Western Canal and walked the whole length of the canal. The wonderful weather, helped keep spirits up as the children learnt how to read and orientate their maps to the landscape and work as a team. Looking forward to next walk to Bickleigh!
