The Wildlife Champions were excited to launch their new project during assembly. They have created their own plastic waste collection box. After lunch each day, cleaned plastic can be posted into the post-box and the Wildlife Champions plan to monitor the amount and type of waste that we have across the school. The Wildlife Champions are keen to reduce the amount of plastic we use and explained the negative impact of plastic on our environment. We look forward to finding out the results of their project.

Another great visit to Springfields. Everyone gets so much from this important community link. A highlight in the week for both old and young. We are very grateful to everyone at Springfields for making us so welcome and catering for us so generously.
As part of the Snowy Owl's learning on the book called The Matchbox Diary, the children have collected and shared three objects which tell a story about part of their life. They have enjoyed talking about their own objects and asking questions to find out more about their partner's object. Next week, they will write an autobiography based on the items.
We have been really impressed with how well the children have been working as a team towards a shared goal. They have been really proud of what they can achieve when they work well together.
The rain and hail did not deter the Snowy Owl's enthusiasm for a session with Jack from the Devon Cricket Association. The children had the chance to practise their batting and fielding skills. It would be great to see the children continue a love for cricket (once the sun is shining!)
This weekend marks the Lunar New Year. This year is the year of the dragon. The Snowy Owls have created these wonderful dragon eyes using pastels.
During the Snowy Owl's last session with Sarah from Devon Wildlife Trust, the children built their own wild dens!
The Snowy Owls and residents at Springfield's Residential Home had a wonderful get together this week. The children enjoyed reading and chatting to the residents - a really worthwhile and valuable link in our community with both young and old gaining so much from the experience.
On Friday 2nd February we celebrated the NSPCC Number Day. Children donated to the NSPCC and brought in number games to play during maths lessons. We played the games in our mixed aged team colours. This was a great way for our older children to demonstrate their leadership qualities. We had an assembly on numbers and watched a video by Johnny Ball on number tricks.
Children in Snowy Owls and Barn Owls have been working hard on their multiplication times tables. Many children this week have improved on their speed and accuracy. Well done!
Well done to all our stars this week for demonstrating the school values of Ambition, Flourish and Respect.
Well done to this week’s golden heart winners for helping to fill other people’s happiness buckets !
This week Cedric won the reading raffle for reading at home at least five times. Well done Cedric! Enjoy the hot chocolate and reading treats this weekend!
Sarah from Devon Wildlife Trust took the Wildlife Champions litter picking around the village. They collected a range of different types of rubbish and recorded this on a tally chart. Look out for their posters about rubbish which will be coming soon.
The Snowy Owls performed a number of Christmas Carols to the residents of Springfields. They enjoyed singing and the residents enjoyed listening. A wonderful way for the children to be a key part of our wider community. The Snowy Owls were treated to cakes and biscuits after they had sang.
Thank you to our friends at Open the Book for sharing another Christian story from the Bible - this story was about the birth of Baby Jesus and the preparations which Christians make in the lead up to Christmas. Each child has been gifted a book from the Chapel which tells them more about the Christmas Story.
During Forest School, the Snowy Owls used slate and chalk to illustrate examples of different forces in action. The children shared their work with the rest of the group around the camp fire.
The Year 4 children supported the Year 3 children during computing. I was really impressed with their maturity and how well they took on the role of teacher. The Year 3's listened carefully to their peers.
It was great to be joined by so many families on the walking bus - not only was it a refreshing way to start the day but also helped ease congestion in the village.
The Snowy Owls discussed traffic in the village and the speed which motorists drive through the village. The children investigated the stopping distance of cars and the fact that the faster you travel the longer it takes you to stop!
The Red Team worked collaboratively to create a life sized, red Pudsey Bear. The older children were great role models to the younger children and everyone supported one another allowing the group to flourish.
