Newsletter - 20th November 2014

Stars of the week

Its Thomas as Star of the Week! He has
been working really hard in class,
especially on his listening and
concentrating. Well done to you Thomas!

Worship Band
Theyve been practising hard all term and I was very
impressed with their performance in Collective Worship last
week. We were looking at talents and these pupils were
using theirs very well. Thank you and well done to Miss Smit
and well done to all the children.

Spotlight on Year 2
Year Two children have had an
exciting experience making
puppets for their Literacy unit
How to Wash a Woolly
Mammoth and using them in
class to re-tell a set of instructions. We will soon be
writing our own instructions to help the elves prepare
for Christmas as Santa has gone to Australia for a
holiday (lucky chap).
Ayla really pushed the boat out and made an
enormous mammoth whilst Oliver Crook spent ages
adding mammoth coloured wool to his puppet to
add to its texture.
Year Two have also combined their Science (Life
Cycles) and Maths by creating symmetrical
butterflies. They were all very proud of their colourful
creatures especially Shay & Evie.
We are currently preparing for our Christmas
Performance of Angel Express with children learning
their lines and songs with gusto. It should prove to be
a musical extravaganza!

Early Years Music with Jane Parker

The Early Years Music
session led by Jane
Parker today (Wed) from
3-3.30pm was a huge
success. Jane will be
running another fun
filled music making
session next week on
the Wednesday at the
same time we look
forward to seeing you
then.

Super runners!
Well done to our super cross country runners who took part in
East Devon finals at Bicton coming in 4th, great effort!

Nursery Family Fun Day

This term we were excited to be going to Exmouth Forest
School for our Family Day Out. This was an invaluable time
for parents to meet each other and the children that their
child may have made friends with! Also, it was a great day
out in local nature! Click here for more photos and news.
