3/4MP have been creating book trailers based on traditional tales. They have been working very hard!

The children had a fantastic time at the netball competition at Blundell’s School. The Blundell’s sports leaders started with a warm up and netball exercises and then we went into the competition. There were eight primary schools altogether. Both our teams played amazingly well and showed great sportsmanship. They cheered each other on and congratulated the opposing team at the end of each match. Team A came away winning the whole competition. They kept scoring goals and there was some great defending too. Team B also did really well and came out feeling very pleased and proud of their achievements. Both teams dedicated their games to Mr Newsome. He would have been so proud of them all.

Over the last few weeks  3/4MP have been incubating eggs from our school chickens. They finally hatched this week and we now have 4 very cute little chick in school. The children are enjoying looking after them and watching them grow and change.

We are sad to announce the death of our colleague, teaching assistant Mark Newsome.

Mark has been a valued member of our team and hugely popular with staff and pupils at school, and will be missed terribly. He was such a huge part of the whole community.

This has been a shock for us all, and we have been careful to ensure that those affected by this tragic loss have been made aware of Mark’s passing with an appropriate level of care and support.

Our deepest condolences go to Mark’s family and friends at such a difficult time.

Last week the year 4 children had an amazing time on their residential at Wildwoods Escot. They spent 3 days sleeping in the yurt village and taking part in some exciting activities. They learnt some bush crafts, went on an animal encounter to see some bears and wild boars and even did a very muddy swamp walk.  All the children were amazing and really well behaved. We were really proud to be able to take them on such a fantastic trip.

A huge congratulations to Corben, Mileja, Riley, Megan, Khloe, Poppy, Kaitlyn and Ellie who all completed the 16.1 miles over Exmoor National Park on Saturday 4th May in the 2024 Exmoor Challenge. 118 Junior and 10 Senior teams took part from 55 different schools and organisations.

Our Girl’s team came 20th overall and our mixed team came 21st.
