This week Class 3 performed their annual assembly to showcase their learning from the year. 

We decided to base the assembly around the children’s favourite film at the moment- ‘The Greatest Showman’, by creating ‘The Greatest Class 3 Show!’ The children had a super time learning the songs and dances, and we all enjoyed watching them perform with enthusiasm and energy!

The children had a fantastic time exploring on the field, becoming insect detectives on the hunt for creatures!

Equipped with a check list, we all looked very carefully to find as many insects and minibeasts as possible. We found ladybirds, dragonflies and many more. A fun and sunny afternoon for our little explorers! (more…)

The children in Class 3 had a fantastic time on their trip to Dawlish Warren last week.

They had a busy day, starting with a super workshop with Steven, a ranger from the Nature Reserve, and ending with some free time on the beach and an ice cream!

Today we had the very special experience of releasing our own butterflies into the big wide world!

Class 3 were delivered a pot of tiny baby caterpillars from The Hungry Caterpillar a few weeks ago, and we have since been looking after them through their life cycle. We have watched them grow in size, eat food, shed their skin and build their chrysalides in their journey to becoming butterflies, and finally they all hatched from their pods and were able to be released into the wild.

We decided to release them on the field where there are lots of lovely flowers for them to fly around, and other butterfly friends for them to meet. One of our chrysalid pods wasn’t quite ready, so Mr Partridge put the pod in a big plant on the field, ready for when it hatches so it can join it’s friends.

Class 3 had a fantastic day exploring Paignton Zoo last week. We spent a whole day looking at the animals, and even had a workshop about habitats and how they adapt to their surroundings.

We were very lucky as the animals all wanted to come out to play due to the cool weather. The lions came up close to the window and paraded around in front so we could see all of their wonderful features, and we also saw rhinos, giraffes, crocodiles and many more!

The children at Cockwood had a super time at their recent Taiko drumming workshop, where the children had a wonderful time playing big Japanese drums and learning new rhythms.

Hannah- Jasmine from Taiko Journey came in for the day and conducted exciting workshops for children in Years 2-6 in the Village Hall. All children had a chance to play the drums, learning the special way to hold the sticks and hit the drum, as well as new rhythm patterns and Japanese phrases.

The children had an amazing day, and commented on how much fun they had. Many couldn’t believe how tiring it was, lifting their arms up high for every strike! It was truly an experience we won’t forget, with lots of children asking for another workshop next year!

Children spent the afternoon designing and testing their own rockets in our science competition.

It was great fun and the teams gained points for super designs and rockets that flew the furthest.
