  • Charities for this year

    Thu 09 Nov 2017

    School Charity Support 2017-2018

     

    The School Council likes to decide which charities to support each year, this year we chose to support the following:

     

    Local Charities:

    The Food Bank – Harvest Festival: October

    Summer Fair – School Funds: July

     

    National Charities:

    Children In Need: November

    Sports Relief: March

     

    International Charities:

    UNICEF – Christmas Jumper Day: December

    Sports Relief: as above

     

    This half term our fund-raising projects are to support both Children in Need on Friday 17th November and also to participate in Christmas Jumper Day in December in aid of UNICEF.

    Children in Need will be a fancy dress/mufti-day – children can come to school in the theme of spots or yellow or can come along in mufti instead. We ask that children bring a donation of at least 50p for Children In Need.

    Although not a fund raising event, we also support World Book Day in March when we ask children to come to school as a book character.

     

    Yours sincerely,

  • Fantastic Farmers!

    Mon 30 Oct 2017

    Well, we're back after an incredible week at Nethercott Farm. The children were a real credit to themselves, their families and the school, well done to all our 'Farmers for A Week'!

    A huge thank you is also due to the staff who gave up so much of their time to allow the visit to happen, 140 hours on duty in a week! There is also a 'backroom team' who make such visits a success - the school office and leadership team as well as the school governors who supported the venture in the first place.

    Here are some photographs of the farmers in action, a special assembly is planned later this month to allow you to see and hear all about the visit and find out who won the Best Kept Dormitory Award!

  • The Nethercott Farm residential is approaching - Year 5 and Year 6 will be looking after over 300 animals for the week in mid Devon.

    Mon 18 Sep 2017

    Dear farmers,

    There is a meeting for parents, carers and children on Thursday 28th September at 3.10pm to explain the procedures for the visit and to give out medical forms and clothing lists.

    The meeting will be in the Year 5 classroom.

    Welly Alert: make sure your wellies for the farm are full length, they should be close to knee height, anything less will be unsuitable - some of the streams and mud is pretty deep!

     

    Clothing lists are on the Year 5 and 6 class pages, please make sure we have your medical forms back as soon as possible.

  • Summer Reading Challenge

    Fri 30 Jun 2017 Mr Hodges

    We had a visit from the local library team today to promote this year's Summer Reading Challenge - Animal Agents.

    Each Wednesday in August there will be free packed lunches available at the library as well as a host of free activities. Why not come along?

    To complete the challenge children need to read 6 books, they can collect stickers to complete a book of clues to discover who the baddy really is! Will you be a secret agent?
