The children of Key Stage Two were visited by two lifeguards from the RNLI. The children learned about the different flags used on beaches, how rescues take place, how to care for themselves in an emergency and what to do if they get into danger.

It was an absolute honour to see children across Key Stage Two performing at Torbay Music Festival on Friday 1^st March. From songs about Haytor View to songs about Watermelons, every performance was a joy to watch and listen to, feeling very personal to our community school.

We wish to thank all parents and carers who were able to attend the event and share in the wonderful experiences.

As a school, we use a learning scheme called Jigsaw Education to support us in delivering the PSHE curriculum. This half term, each class has focussed on Going for Goals in line with our assembly focus. Here are some examples of learning across the school this half-term:

JIGSAW FAMILY LEARNING

To support your child to reflect on the learning that has taken place over this half term, try asking them some questions about the Goals they have considered in class:

• What goals have you set at school? • What goal would you like to set for home? • What do you need to do to achieve your goal?

To extend their thinking a little, try asking:

• How do you feel when something is difficult? • How do you feel when you have achieved a goal?

Last year’s Year 6 children worked with a local artist, Patrice, to produce artwork and poetry that would be used to help cheer up the Pen Inn Roundabout underpasses. Well it’s all been installed and it looks amazing! The people using the underpasses used to look at the floor and frown; now they look at our artwork and smile! The Tunnels of Love project has brightened up the lives of so many local people.

This year’s fun-packed Year 6 residential was shorter than usual but still managed to squeeze all of the exciting activities from previous years into the shorter stay. Enjoy the photos!

Year 6 worked alongside our friends from the Foundation Stage to support learning about dragons. We thought about the characteristics of these strange creatures and explored more precise descriptive words.
