• 🐵🐍🦒 Year 5 Trip to Paignton Zoo 🦒🐍 🐵

  Tue 24 Mar 2026

  Our Year 5 pupils recently enjoyed an exciting visit to Paignton Zoo to support their Science topic, Living Things and their Habitats. During the trip, the children took part in a mini-session led by the zoo’s education team, where they learned all about classification and discovered lots of fascinating new facts.

   

  The children were very well behaved throughout the day and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the zoo, observing and learning about a wide range of animals.

   

  One of the highlights of the visit was the opportunity for staff to get hands-on - Mr Stead, Miss Hill, Miss Smith, Mrs Trathen and Mrs Pike all had the chance to hold a python skin… we were amazed at just how big it was! 🐍

  A fantastic day of learning was had by all.

  

• 🔬 🧪 Science Week 🧪 🔬

  Fri 13 Mar 2026

  This week we have been celebrating Science Week across the school. The week began with an exciting and interactive assembly led by Mrs Lofthouse, which included air-powered rockets and the launch of a whole school challenge to see who could design a paper aeroplane that would achieve the longest flight. The competition has been very popular, with a fantastic variety of designs on display throughout the school.

   

  Children have been exploring a range of themes during the week including scientific thinking, design and engineering, using data and maths, teamwork and improving designs. Staff have also joined in the fun, with some impressive aeroplane designs appearing - Mr Stead’s was particularly impressive!

   

  Thank you to everyone who entered the poster competition and congratulations to our winners.

• 📖 World Book Day 📖

  Thu 05 Mar 2026

  World Book Day was a fantastic day at school, with children invited to come dressed in their pyjamas or as their favourite book character. It was wonderful to see so many creative costumes and a real buzz around reading throughout the day.

   

  The children enjoyed a range of fun book-themed activities in their classes and a special assembly. To everyone’s amusement, Mrs Trunchbull made Mr Wright eat some chocolate cake!

   

  A great day was had by all as we celebrated the joy of reading together! 📖
