W/E 6th February 2015 Trip to India We are back – so much to tell and say. Am still in Kolkata in my mind – 27 degrees and sunny. Hmmmm. And still on India time – woke up at 2 o’clock this morning which would have been getting up time in Kolkata. The experience has been life changing and as I feel the ‘real world’ pulling me back I am fighting against it! Felt we had just scratched the surface of the most wonderful, exhilarating, confusing country. Kim and I will be at Parent Café on Monday, in saris, to share some of our experiences and what we learned about the education system, the culture and the people. We have taken millions of photos and bought lots of resources which we will be taking round to all the classes next week to share with the children. As a staff we will be discussing some of the implications of the teaching we saw and the Indian approach to education. Happy Birthday Bethany Green, Bailey Wells, Sam Jarvis, Grace Jones, Oscar Rogers, Archie Taylor, Oliver Berry, Emily Manley, Shane Harley (Caretaker) The trip has reminded me of the importance of travel; it allows you to see your own world through different eyes. We can’t wait to share it all with you. Miss Warner (aka Miss Sam) All aboard for Paddington Trip PTFA NEWS Discos- Thursday 12th February. Reception and KS1 5 – 6pm; KS2 – 6.15 – 7.15pm.

Summer Fair – Friday 12th June- Save the date! All of the children in KS1 have travelled to Exeter by train this week which has been incredibly exciting! The trip was linked to our current big question of 'How could Paddington's life have changed - from Peru to Paddington?' Visiting Exeter allowed the children to experience an unfamiliar place like Paddington did and to see first-hand significant landmarks in their local city, which they will be able to make reference to in their story writing. Once they arrived, each child made their own teddy at 'Build a Bear' and then the classes visited different landmarks around the city including Exeter Cathedral. The children have all behaved brilliantly during their visits and several members of the public have remarked to the teachers how polite and well-behaved the children were on the train and in the Cathedral.
