Get steady..... Class 3 have been getting ready for the Coffee Afternoon and the classroom has been really messy for most of the day.Ooooh. My group decorated bottles this afternoon and coloured in some banners. We were making snow balls and painting our games. Um, mine's the same as Emily... but, noo, I wasn't supposed to say that... my group [...]
We've been to the church a few times this week. Our own Nativity, but then also Open The Book team retold the story again for us to enjoy and listen to and nicely, with a few roles played by our children. Then again tonight for the Christingle. I may find a photo or two of the school children singing up [...]
Such a lovely evening tonight. Children dressed up as Angels, shepherds, inn keepers, wise men and of course Mary and Joseph too. It was quite a trek from Nazareth to Bethlehem, and Mary only coped with the journey because she was riding a donkey for most of the way... but have you ever thought how tiring it was for Joseph, [...]
Tonight was the FROGS Christmas event and everyone was invited to watch Elf. On entry each child was presented with some jazzy Christmas headgear and offered chilli, nachos, hot dogs and chilli dogs. In the interval there were ice creams and there was even a competition for the best Festive jumper. Wow, what a great night! :-) Thank you to the [...]
Thank you very much to the Braunton Ladies Handbell Ringers who played many Christmas songs to our school this afternoon! Some we knew, some were new to the children and we even videoed Jingle Bells but the verse / chorus changes confused the little ones and we had several "Hey!"s being sung! Thanks to Emma Barnes who helped organise her [...]
Thanks to everyone who bought books from the Book Fair a couple of weeks ago. It all helps with our commission and we were able to spend £164 on books for our classrooms. Well done!
We all gathered in St George's Church and heard of the difficulty that Mary and Joseph were having - they were travelling home, needed somewhere to stay for the night and Mary, well, she was pregnant! Tracey Elliott came up with a plan of action, we all downed our cups of tea, sung a rousing song (actually Little Donkey is [...]
In class 2 this morning we have been learning Kit Wright's poem called The Magic Box using our actions. Then we walked around the school to see what we could hear, see and smell so that we could make our own class poem in the same style. My Georgeham School box I would put in my box; Children chatting to each [...]
Class 3 made some really nice designs using one vertical line of symmetry and then again using two lines; a vertical and a horizontal. Some of us moved on to diagonal lines of symmetry... and even two lines of symmetry! But... is this picture below accurate? "Answers on a postcard, or reply with a comment below." Is this symmetrical? [...]
We opened our doors this afternoon so that family members could see what life was like in the classroom. We always say that this is quite artificial (I had a good conversation about self-portraits and that they would have had some pre-teaching about the positions of your eyes and the colour of lips) but it's still just a great opportunity to [...]
