Celebrating King Charles III Coronation

May
This week in reception we have been celebrating King Charles III Coronation.
We have learnt about who King Charles is and a little bit about his family history.
We now know that the Coronation is an important ceremony where the King will be crowned and he will be presented with an orb and sceptre.
We have enjoyed lots of arts and crafts this week and have made crowns, finger print flags of the union Jack and collages of the Kings face.
Our role play this week has been transformed into a royal palace and the children have loved dressing up as Kings and Queens wearing royal robes and crowns.
Nursery children made crowns to celebrate the Coronation.
Year 4 trip to Wildwoods, Escott

May
Year 4 had an amazing time during their recent residential at Wildwoods, Escott.
They took part in metal forging, woodcarving and baking in the Anglo-Saxon village.
They went to see the wolves, bears, artic foxes and other animals who live on the site.
They had fun running around and getting lost in the maze and playing on the very large drop slide.
But most of all they enjoyed wading though the very wet, muddy and cold swamp.
Take at look at some of our photos from the trip.

The children asked the police officers lots of interesting questions, and they had fun trying on the helmets and night time vests.

On Friday 24 th March, Year 2 went on a trip to Rosemoor Gardens in North Devon.
We were very lucky with the weather and left the rain behind in Tiverton!
e had a lovely day that involved walking around the gardens looking at and discovering some amazing plants and flowers.
We also had a workshop where we identified evergreen and deciduous trees, collected fallen plant parts to decorate a paper flower and we each planted a broad bean seed.
We got to take these home with us to remember our amazing day!
