In class 4, we have been finding out about the characteristics a creature needs to survive in their habitat. We found out that koalas have developed a fantastic sense of smell as they only eat two of the 600 different types of eucalyptus leaves and that giraffes have adapted to have an extra-large heart so that it can pump blood [...]
Hope you enjoy seeing what we got up to this morning! Thanks very much to Mrs Poynter and the pupils of West Down Primary who showed us their lively morning routine! So... a couple of times a week then?! ...even better when the sun's out!
Class 4 had an excellent afternoon today, looking at Braunton Burrows in great detail! You normally talk about the burrows from the sea back towards the land but we approached from the car park, so we ended up doing the whole thing backwards... never mind, it all still made sense as we walked through. Wonder if you can work out [...]
Ella, Isobel and Liza have been thoughtful and set up a lunchtime volleyball club for classes 2 & 3... all spurned on possibly because Gracie's mum, Emma, has volunteered time on Mondays to run the after school netball club. Well, thanks girls... and thanks Emma! Well all be more sporty and fit as a result! :-)
Dear Aunty Edwina, I hate the hat you got me, it’s so babyish. I absolutely adore my lovely new hat. I made the dog chew it and even he spat it out. I wear it everywhere. Seriously who would wear that out, It’s got pepper pig on it, Only a 3 year old…*PS I’m 9!* I love the colour lime [...]
Our Governors held an open session one evening just before Easter to explain some of the recent changes to the Curriculum and School system, and how these could affect our school in the future. *We're holding a repeat session* so that parents who couldn't make it that evening have another opportunity to come and share their thoughts with myself and [...]
Anyone would have thought it was Easter! Class 4 have an Easter Egg hunt later, class 3 are making their own... which is very confusing as there are a multitude of egg-shaped notes dotted all round the school, and we were treated to Hot Cross buns at playtime, courtesy of myself (one of my #40acts 'doing Lent generously' acts). I [...]
Wow! We had another fantastic family disco at school tonight. A big thank you to everyone who came and a particular thank you to FROGS for organising another great fundraiser to support our school. HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE :-)
In our PSHE we have been thinking about why it is Good to be Me. Today we thought about why it is Good to be ME at Georgeham School. We decided that although we are good at maths, running and writing one of the things we are best at is being kind and generous to each other. To celebrate this, [...]
Today the whole school came dressed in sporty gear to raise money for Sports Relief. We had footballers, climbers, rugby players, gymnasts and a skater (plus many more). In the afternoon we all went out on the school field to run a mile. Everyone did brilliantly! Class 4 spent a bit of time thinking about what they would like their [...]
