History

Year 4 are looking for donations of old t-shirts that are completely plain but of any colour 👕. We need these for an art and DT project starting next week. If you have anything, please drop them into the office or hand them to a member of the Year 4 team by Monday 17th June. Thank you!

Year 5 are beginning their Rainforest compositions tomorrow in our music lesson. Hopefully they will have been inspired by our trip to the Eden Project today. 🙂 Children who play a musical instrument are welcome to bring them in tomorrow. 🎵 🌴

Year 5 have had a great day at the Eden Project. We are just leaving now so should be back at about 15:10.

For all the gentlemen in our community, from our youngest to our eldest - your mental health is important - YOU are important! ❤️💙💛

Year 5 parents: The weather is predicted to be nice tomorrow. Children may wear PE kit or school uniform for the Eden trip. Please arrive at school promptly tomorrow morning, as the coach will be leaving at 9am.

The year 6 children and staff have now left Barton Hall for their journey home. We are aiming to be back at school about 2.40pm. They are all excited to share their adventures with you!!

We are so excited to announce that this summer, District Sports will be running a holiday club at Manadon Vale! ⚽️🏀🎾🏐🏏🏸🥏🏓 This is something that parents and carers have been asking for and we have worked hard to get this in place so it would be great for our families to support this. 🙏🏼 District Sports already support our PE provision and run some lunch clubs so are well known to the children. 🤩

The children are well prepared for this already and have been absolutely smashing their phonics revision! We are extremely proud of every single one of them. A massive well done to all the children (and supporting adults!) who completed their 'QR code riddles' and have been practicing at home 🌟 Thank you as always for your continued support! It is a true joy to see so many children becoming confident, keen readers. 🤩🥰 - The Year 1 Team
