I am so grateful to all the parents and staff that came to school yesterday and put a phenomenal effort into tidying, clearing, weeding, painting. The difference to the school, after a few hours of work, was amazing - thank you all!

A big thank you to Mole Valley Farmers Mole Valley Farmers - Tavistock for donating a trolley full of flowers and to Paula for organising it!

Just before half term year 5 visited London for three days. It was a jam packed visit we went to Buckingham Palace, did a bus tour, used the tube (multiple times!), watched The Lion King st the theatre and visited The Houses of Parliament! The children were amazing and it was such a wonderful experience for them all. Huge thanks to GWR who looked after us on both train journeys and even bumped us up to first class on the way home!

'Hands-on learning at its best! Last Tuesday, Marie from Animals 2U South West visited us in the afternoon with a selection of minibeasts, including a millipede, stick insect, cockroach, and a frog. She shared so many interesting facts, and everyone had the chance to touch or handle the animals. The children were incredibly brave throughout the session.
Marie commented on how well the children behaved and how enthusiastically they participated during the visit. The visit was a wonderful addition to our minibeast topic and really brought our learning to life. Thank you, Marie, for such an engaging experience.
