Students' Work 

Science Week (14th - 18th June 21)

Toby made a brilliant balloon car in his science lesson. Watch how well it glides across the floor.

Well done Seth! Amazing work on your non chronological report on Emperor Penguins. 

Here are a couple of pieces of autumnal work from North Devon! Keira listened to the story 'Don't Hog the Hedge' and learnt about hibernation! Imogen carved a pumpkin and made some delicious Halloween gingerbread!

Here is Charlie's fantastic model of a cell! We love the clever use of peas for Chloroplast.

Elizabeth, year 1 recreated an experiment we conducted last week to try and grow a rainbow at home! Elizabeth was able to remember what we had done and then was able to write a brilliant set of instructions to explain how to grow a rainbow! We think this is excellent work and a fun art/science mash up! Have a go at growing your own!

Bradley loves baking at his home school. We loved mixing ingredients for Gingerbread Men biscuits and he enjoyed the story in our calm class room on World Book Day. 

Leah produced a piece of Aboriginal art. She tried different materials to do the dots and came to the conclusion that matchsticks worked best.

Exeter University Drama -

In this workshop we built a Geo-dome to experience immersive theatre. Everyone had a turn sitting in the middle of the dome whilst the rest of the  group moved around them with finger lights. Everyone involved had a great time and were able to perform in a safe and caring environment. Many thanks to Olivia, Sacha and Jasmine.

Devon Wildlife Trust.

Emily from the DWT came and did a teaching session with the students.
