• Devon Ability Games

  Thu 21 Jun 2018
  Today Joseph (y3) and Christopher (y5) attended the Devon Ability Games at Marjons. It was a wonderful event, hosting 300 children from across the county. The boys had the opportunity to try lots of different sports and thinking challenges as well as meet other children from different schools. As you can see by the photos, they had an amazing time and were wonderful representatives of the school. Well done boys! Many thanks to Mrs Whitley and Miss Hele for taking them.

  A while back we shared the great news that our Year 3 team had qualified for the Devon Summer Games. Well today they journeyed to the event at Brickfields to compete against teams from all across the county. There were 15 teams taking part and we came in a fabulous 7th place. Well done to the whole squad, you were excellent representatives and a brilliant team. Thanks go to Mrs Whitley and all the parents for taking them to this event.

  

• Health Week

  Mon 18 Jun 2018

  We have had a great start to Health Week 2018.

   

  On Monday, Premier Sport came into school all day to deliver archery to Foundation and Key Stage 1, followed by fencing to Key Stage 2. The children loved the new sports and learnt lots of new skills.

   

  On Tuesday we were due to have sports day but the typical British summer weather did us proud and provided heavy drizzle all day! We had to postpone the event due to the slippery conditions for the obstacle races and they will now be held next Thursday 28th pm for KS2 and Friday 29th am for KS1. We were saved by our fantastic coaches from Premier Sport who stayed with us for the day and allowed the children to try the activity that they hadn't done on the Monday. KS1 loved the fencing and KS2 scored well on the archery. Thank you to Mr B and Miss Wallis for saving the day so that the children could still participate in sports events. Year 3 and 4 also held their own Boccia competition during the afternoon in the hall. This promoted inclusion sports and great team work and communication.

   

  On Wednesday the school took part in our Health Week competition - the importance of play and sport in education. The children have been thinking about why it is so important to be active and healthy, and how their time in school promotes this through the opportunities we provide for them. In the afternoon we held a big screen showing of the Portugal vs Morocco World Cup game in the hall. Lots of children chose to come and watch and Year 4 even made flags supporting their chosen team!

   

  On Thursday we were visited by Alex from Team Rubicon who began our Skateability sessions. The children have loved their introduction to Skateboarding and were soon showing off their tricks. Even Mr Spamer showed some skills - but a definite need for the safety gear (and first aid!)

• PSSP Hockey Festival at Marjons

  Thu 07 Jun 2018
  On Thursday 7th June, our Year 6 hockey team took a trip to Marjons to compete in the annual PSSP Festival. The children were superb, playing in 7 games making it all the way to the quarter finals of the competition and only being knocked out through the cruel method of penalties! Well done to the whole team!
