Read MoreMichael Rosen day in Hedgehogs
Published 21/11/24What a wonderful afternoon we had in Hedgehogs class, celebrating Michael Rosen day. We went on a Hedgehog hunt, inspired by the Michael Story "we're going on a bear hunt" We then wrote our own "We're going on a hedgehog hunt" story- including some amazing adjectives!
We ended our afternoon by watching a video the man himself perform one of his most loved poems, "Chocolate Cake" We all loved his performance, it was hilarious! After that, there was only one way to end Michael Rosen day . . . we all had a big slice of chocolate cake! (being careful not to leave any chocolate smudges on our face!)

Read MoreMayan Ball Game Fun
Published 21/11/24In Year 4, we have been learning about an Ancient Mayan ball game called 'Pitz' where you may only use your elbows, hips and knees to bounce the ball into your opponent's territory. We wore tribal headgear to show which city-state we were playing for and luckily, we didn't have to sacrifice any of the losing team to keep the gods happy!
Read MoreStephens Shield Cross Country
Published 05/11/24Last Friday, some children from Years 3,4,5 and 6 competed in the Stephens Shield cross country event at Torrington Rugby Club. We had some amazing running from all with several top 10 finishers. They should be extremely proud of the way they conducted themselves in the race and when cheering on their friends. Thank you to the staff (Mr Philps, Mrs Dunn, Mrs Goodban and Mrs Scott) who made the event possible. Thanks as well to the parents who came and supported, we really appreciate it and the children always give it that little bit extra when they see a friendly face in the crowd! Well done all!
Read MoreYear 5 – Parent Showcase
Published 18/10/24On Wednesday, Leopards and Panthers classes invited parents and carers in to look at what they had been learning in Art. They were looking at Typography, which is the different styles of font, and how these can be used to create interesting pieces of work.
The children were going to create a map as a self-portrait and include parts of their lives, their hobbies; details about their family life and their favourite things. The parents all got stuck in and helped the children with their maps of their lives. It was a very creative afternoon. We can’t wait to see their finished products.
Read MoreYear 4 Eggshell Teeth Experiment
Published 14/10/24This half-term in Year 4 we have been learning about teeth and the way sugar affects the enamel and the damage it can do if it is not brushed. We left eggs to soak in different liquids for a week and analysed the results. Sammy (a dental hygienist) also came in to explain how to brush our teeth properly as well as adding to our knowledge of hidden sugars in certain foods. After these few lessons, we are certainly going to be brushing our teeth twice a day!
Read MoreYear 3 Cave Drawings
Published 14/10/24Y3 have been looking at Cave Drawings in Art, which links nicely to our new English book 'The First Drawing.' The children had an immersive experience which allowed them an insight into how drawing in the dark must have felt. We sat around the fire and used charcoal to replicate Stone Age Artwork that we had learnt about.

Read MoreBeing inspired by our environment.
Published 20/09/24Hedgehogs looked at the artwork of sculptor Andy Goldsworthy and began to think about how we could be inspired to create our own art work using things we find in our environment. We visited our forest schools area and worked in teams to collect materials and produce patterns and pictures with the natural resources we found. The results look amazing!
Read MoreYear 5 DT Project
Published 24/07/24Year 5 have had wonderful fun creating their own fairground rides for their DT project this term. We researched rides over the years, surveyed what people enjoyed and discovered the mechanisms that make them work. Using this knowledge we were able to use levers and pulleys to make rides that go up and down or round and round and make them look enticingly exciting for any keen adrenaline seeker!

Read MoreMusic at Fremington!
Published 19/07/24On Monday, we were visited by Sarah Steed (North Devon Instrument Services) who told the children all about the music lessons that take place here at Fremington Primary School. We were then treated to some wonderful recitals from students from Y2 up to Y6. They showed confidence, skill and pride. Sarah finished the assembly with a rendition of the Harry Potter theme tune on the flute and Pink Panther on the saxophone! Wonderful! Please see this week's newsletter for information about lessons taking place next year, should you want your child to take up an instrument.
