Buddhist artefacts
Class 1 have been learning about Buddhism this term. Mrs. Howell kindly came to show us her Buddhist artefacts from her time living in Thailand.
She also set up a large Buddha in the playground and we were able to sit and have a go at mediating again. She lit incence sticks which added to the atmosphere.
Cockwood Musical Showcase 2010
This year's showcase was a musical extravaganza. Children played drums, woodwind instruments, keyboards and guitars to a large audience. The choir were fantastic, demonstrating that their hard work has definitely paid off. Well done to everyone who took part and a big thank you to Mrs Carter and Mrs Hilliard for organising the event.
Sports day
Congratulations to everyone for taking part and especially Mr Millard for organising the events.
Well done to this year's winners, the blue team, who showed tremendous team spirit and stamina.
Creatures
The 'really Wild Man came to visit us on Tuesday 8th June. He showed us some fascinating creatures. He told us alot about each animal and cleared up lots of our misunderstandings. Did you know that a spider does not have poisonous fangs? and they do not shoot hairs at their prey? We found out that cockroaches are the most resilient creatures and that giant land snails can 'shave' the hair off your face! Some of us enjoyed holding the creatures we saw and 2 children volunteered to hold the bird eating spider. Some of us found it a bit scary and Mrs Hodge did not like the spider!
Yoga and meditation
As part of our work on Buddhism this term, Class 1 invited Duncan Hulin, a Yoga teacher, to join their RE lesson. He showed us some yoga postures and led us in a session of meditation.
Some quotes from Class 1:-
“I was calm and relaxed and lost in my own mind.”
“My mind was clear apart from some little swirls”
“I felt alone but peaceful!”
“I kept seeing loads of streams of colour”
“I felt like I was floating in space, just me and the stars”
“Thoughts would come and then flickered away!”

Trip to Paignton Zoo
Class 2 and 3 enjoyed a wonderful day at Paignton Zoo. The children learned
about tropical rainforests and local bird life in some great workshops then
followed this with an exploration of the zoo. A super experience!
