What a fantastic day of learning we had at Northam Burrows! The children went on a coastline walk looking at different coastal features, completed mini-missions in the dunes looking for different plants and animals, and then scrambled over Pebble Ridge to meet the lifeguards and find out about beach safety. The children managed so well in the heat, and we all had a thoroughly enjoyable day.
On Wednesday, Mr Downing and Mrs Gilbert had the pleasure of taking nine children to a cricket event held at Instow cricket ground. Over 300 children from schools across North Devon played four matches across the day. The Fremington team had a mixed day in terms of results but their skills and knowledge improved bowl on bowl and they represented themselves and the school brilliantly. It was a joy to take them. Thank you to parents/carers for supporting with transporting children to and from the event.
This week Reception had their Learning Showcase. We had a fantastic turnout with lots of the children’s grown ups coming into to see what we have been learning. As part of our ‘Australia’ topic we are learning about famous Australian landmarks. The children worked so hard with their adults to create these fantastic collage Sydney Opera Houses. Well done everyone!
A huge well done to everyone who made our most recent joint concert with the Barnstaple Male Voice Choir and the Fremingtones a huge success. We had an excellent turn-out at St Peter’s church, and the audience thoroughly enjoyed hearing some fun toe-tapping sing-along numbers, and some amazing solo performances too. Well done one and all!

Year 5 had an awesome day at the Eden Project. We explored both the tropical and Mediterranean biomes throughout the day. We collected data about the sizes of the leaves and measured the temperature and humidity at different locations within the biomes. We then thought about how global warming would impact the growth of the plants in both climates. Some of us also braved the rope bridge up in the canopy walk! What a tiring, but amazing day!
Reception have been super busy this week, fact finding about Australian animals. Look at our fabulous writing and amazing drawing skills.
