It is often quoted that ‘good things come in small packages’. That is certainly true of this half term. We have managed to pack so many amazing opportunities  into the last 5 weeks. Tintagel visited Longleat as part of their discovery work on Costa Rica (we don’t talk about lions!!!). Nursery visited an allotment to find out how things grow. Drogo class took a trip to Ferne Animal Sanctuary to study the animals and find out more about how they are cared for. Corfe undertook a local study around Stoke and Totnes and Dunster became geographers and geologists undertaking field studies at Lyme Regis. May is also SATs time! The SATs gave our children an opportunity to apply all of their learning and we are very proud of all of their efforts and resilience. We then joined an Art ‘draw along’ with author and illustrator Steve Antony, as he demonstrated live how to draw like an illustrator. Finally, we all gathered together for our Jubilee picnic in celebration of our Queen and her unwavering service to our nation. I’m confident that our red, white and blue apparel will demonstrate our patriotism and will possibly be visible from space! Thank you all for your support over the past 5 weeks. Have a wonderful Jubilee celebration weekend and I look forward to welcoming you all back for our final half term.  Categories: 1 CategorySchool News

A Message from Mr Morton

The emergence of spring at Castle Primary School has brought with it the spirit of giving. As a school we have opened our hearts and our pockets to support charities, both local and global. Thank you for all of your support with our fundraising efforts. It has once again demonstrated that our small school can make a big impact in the world. Spring has also marked the return of better weather too. It is lovely to hear the children engaged in outdoor activities linked to their classroom learning with such excitement. I witnessed a whole river system from source to estuary simulated on our playground created by Totnes and Dunster classes. I was blown away by their articulate responses to how the river was formed and the process of the water cycle. I has also finally demonstrated a good use for the gradient of our playground! I wish you all a safe and restful end to the term and we look forward to inviting you in more to share all of our learning as the summer term unfoldsCategories: 1 CategorySchool News

It has been a jam packed half term here at Castle Primary School with lots to celebrate across our whole school. As I do my daily walk to say hello to everyone I am always amazed by the marvellous activities that the children are engaged in and the positive energy that permeates through our school. As the discovery topics draw to a close I have witnessed a Corfe class simulated reenactment of the Great Fire of London in Forest school (with actual burning model buildings!), An Egyptian museum exhibition where all of the exhibits have been made by the children of Totnes and Dunster classes and a VE celebration party held by the children in Tintagel class. I challenge any of your children to sit around the dinner table this week and say that they didn’t do anything at school! It makes me wish I was a child again. We are sad to let you know that Miss Coupe will be leaving us today. We will miss her and we thank her for all of her hard work and enthusiasm. We wish her well. Have a safe, restful and well deserved break everyone and we look forward to sharing all of the exciting things that we will be learning next half term.  Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
