Earlier today, two groups from Y5 (and Mr Boys & Miss Prowse) participated in a fantastic coasteering session at Anstey's Cove, Torquay. The sessions were led by instructors from Reach Outdoors. The children scrambled over rocks, swam through caves and launched themselves off jumps into the sea. It really was a wonderful day full of laughter, smiles and children really proud of themselves.

Year 5 jumped straight into their new learning experience by taking part in a ‘Bush Tucker Trial’.

The children bravely put their hands into mystery boxes to discover a range of clues about what they would be learning this half term. There were lots of excited reactions as they tried to work out what the clues could mean!

After putting all the clues together, the children successfully solved the mystery and discovered that their new topic would be the Amazon Rainforest and are looking forward to an exciting half term of exploring, discovering and learning all about this incredible environment.

Yesterday evening, Year 6 finished their run of Leavers' Shows. What incredible shows they were too! This year's performances included firm favourites played on our unique marimba & steel pans, three songs from the musical Matilda, dancing babies, samba, a solo pianist, a solo dancer as well as a very emotional ending with photos of each child on their first day at primary school alongside an end-of-Y6 photo.

The children worked incredibly hard to pull off such a show and proved how resilience = success.

We hope you enjoy looking at these photos. A video montage will be posted early next term.

🛟The children in Nursery, Reception and KS1 had a really informative and interactive talk given by an RNLI volunteer, educating our youngest children about water safety (especially important given the very warm weather and trips to the seaside and swimming pools accordingly). A fantastic experience equipping our children with the knowledge to have fun but to stay safe when near and in the water. 🛟

The Nursery children were delighted when a pirate map blew into the Nursery garden on the sea breeze. They could see it was a pirate map because of the x marks the spot. "Look at its shape, it is our woods!" Said Grayson with excitement.
Luck would have it that we were going to Forest School that same day, so we took the map and some brave parents to find pirates.
The children were excited to find Pirate Pete's tea, rum, coconut water, chocolate coins and old stale biscuits. We decided to risk it and enjoyed the lot. Then Gwen found an old, dented tin full of treasures! We were so lucky to enjoy our time in the woods without a single pirate finding us.
"I think the pirate must be sailing the high seas in the day, but he will be here for his treasure tonight." Said Kaya.

Last week, 31 children from Y6 had the most amazing time at Dewerstone Cottage on Dartmoor for their 3 day residential. Activities included gorge walking (walking, floating down mini rapids and sliding down rocks in the River Meavy), pioneering (making structures out of wood and rope), orienteering, bouldering and abseiling. Because of the exceptional heatwave, many visits to the river to cool down were also a regular feature of the days.

Here is a small selection of photos. A video will be posted over the coming days.
