Class 2 had a brilliant day on Dartmoor using their practical Geography skills to make a survey of the East Dart River at Bellever. The weather was kind to us (it only poured with rain once!) We measured the flow of the river at different points; we made a field sketch; we identified the location of photos…
Class 2 had an amazing time at The Manor House Hotel near Okehampton for their overnight residential. They took part in a wide range of activities and were kept very busy throughout their stay. The children particularly enjoyed the archery, five-a side football, the disco, badminton and adventure golf. For some children, it was their…
Last week the children in Class 2 were immersed in Science, as they embarked on a special Science Week extravaganza of activities, mixing Music and Science together to celebrate British Science Week. The children firstly went to Shaldon Zoo, where they had a fantastic time looking at the animals, finding out about their habitats and…
Class 2 have created some super dioramas exploring the theme, ‘Under the Sea’.

Everyone worked really well on these collaborative pieces of Art, children used their oracy skills to discuss their ideas and worked together to…

Class 2 were so disappointed to have to cancel our Dartmoor river trip (again) so we decided to practise some of our geography skills a bit more locally. We looked at the mouth of the River Exe and thought about the direction the water was flowing in. Then we looked at the tributary stream that runs…

Class 2 were very lucky to have a visit from Reverend Tim Collins last Friday. He talked to the children about forgiveness. Tim shared some stories from the bible and we watched some video clips to see forgiveness in action.

The children also loved creating their bug hotels, toasting marshmallows, weaving wool to make Dream Catchers, sawing the wood required to make circular wooden medals, making charcoal to then create some lovely drawings and much much…
