• OCRA 13 run

  Sun 21 Jul 2019
  Well done to the children who took part in the OCRA 13 run in Okehampton this morning. Several classes have been starting the day with a 10 minute run this term so it was great to see that the children were keen to complete the OCRA 13 challenge. All children received their medal for completing the 2.5 km run with Jake being the first child to cross the line, 2nd person overall. We are very impressed with all of you. Keep up the running over the holiday.

• 18.7.19 Successful Sports Day

  Sat 20 Jul 2019
  Well done to all the children who took part on Sports day activities on Thursday. We were very lucky with the weather too. We are always so impressed with the children's enthusiasm and the support they give to each other. Thank you to the PTFA who organised refreshments all day and made an incredible £280.60 profit refreshments. They also provided the much needed lollies for the children. Thank you to all the parents, carers, grandparents and friends who cheered and clapped all the children as they participated. 

• CPRE art competition winners.

  Fri 19 Jul 2019

  A few weeks ago, year 3 art club entered an art competition called My Outdoors run by CPRE (Campaign to Protect Rural England). We were delighted to hear that out of all the entries from schools round Devon, 3 of our children received Highly Commended awards. Penny came to give them their certificates in assembly today and goody bags for all the children who took part.

  

• World War 1 Day

  Wed 17 Jul 2019
  Again the children impressed us with their dressing up and enthusiasm for World War 1 activities. Chestnuts and Hawthorns took a walk up to the memorial and did some observational drawing and then sang the war songs they have been learning in the square. Older children were busy cracking codes, learning about Morse code and writing from different people's points of view who were involved in the war. Thank you to all the parents who helped their children with costumes and props. 

  

• French Day

  Tue 16 Jul 2019
  The children looked amazing today in their red, white and blue and French outfits. After a morning of French activities and croissants, all the children performed brilliantly at the Community Centre for our French assembly. (More photographs are on class pages and the French page under the Curriculum tab).

  

• World War 1 assembly

  Mon 15 Jul 2019
  Monica Jones came into assembly to tell us about the celebrations at the end of WW1. She also brought with her some impressive looking hats to inspire the children in preparation for the hat parade at Hatherleigh Festival. Children taking part in the concert on Thursday need to be at the Community Centre for 7pm.

  

• Sunny evening for the Summer Fair.

  Fri 12 Jul 2019
  The sun shone for our Annual Summer Fair. Thank you to everyone who helped make the evening a success either by organising the event, setting up, running stalls and for coming along and spending money. It was the perfect setting for a wonderful evening, with music from Jess playing all evening and an amazing performance from Jess Squires dance club. The winner of the 'Guess the number of sweets in a jar' and the treasure maps will be announced on Monday. See the PTFA page for more photos.

  

• Dance Club Perform in Theatre

  Wed 10 Jul 2019

  Dance Club Perform in Theatre

  On Thursday 4th July, Jessica Squire took Dance Club to perform at Inspire at The Plough Arts Centre. Some of the dancers said this was the first time they were standing in - let alone performing in - a theatre. An enormous well done to all of the children who performed.

  An audience member congratulated the group and said, ‘They just had such joy when they were dancing- it was wonderful to watch’. Jess is hoping to take another group at the same time next year. 

  

• Hatherleigh's Got Talent

  Fri 05 Jul 2019
  After class auditions, a few acts from each class performed in our Hatherleigh's Got Talent show. It was a wonderful afternoon watching the very brave and talented children. They were very excited to welcome our special guest for the afternoon too.
