A great adventure down to Yeovil Country Park today. The PTA were kind enough to fund an afternoon of swimming at Goldenstones and we enjoyed having a picnic and playing some games before we went.
Wow what a week. Plenty of learning, play rehearsal and fun. I was particularly proud of Sycamore in their Sports Day races.
Year 6 channeled their inner fashion designers to create some fantastic waistcoats for teddy bears. Some questionable sewing at the start but I think we all got there by the end!
Year 6 were amazing in helping KS1 learn new skills and develop their sporting abilities by assisting Mr Bourne during the Global Games Day. Each child was tasked with running an event and helping the younger children participate.
Some lovely coaching session by Somerset Cricket to help show our Year 6s some of the basics. Bude seems a distant memory already but it was nice to catch up with everyone again!
Please see separate tab (Bude 2023) for pictures and videos of our residential trip.
Thank you to everyone in Year 6 who stayed at school this week for an absolutely brilliant time. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Friday - Bowling/Picnic
To round this week off, we headed down to Hollywood Bowl for a game of bowling and a visit to the arcade. Ollie was our champion with a score of 107, William C came the closest of seconds with 106 and Amelie and Madie came third with 94! Everyone cheered each other on and there were some excellent celebratory dances from the boys. We had a picnic lunch in the park before heading back to school to play some games and spend the last part of the week winding down for the weekend.
Thursday - Map and Candle Making.
We had a relaxing day of crafts today; some of the children made fantasy-style maps with tea-stained paper and rice, and others created some delicious-smelling candles to take home and enjoy. We also enjoyed Mario Kart races and made the most of the glorious weather by playing football, Uno and Top Trumps on the field!
Wednesday - Forest School
Mrs Huggins very kindly ran a forest school session for us this morning and we had an amazing time! We built dens, made tree faces, created some nature weavings, learned how to start a fire with a flint and steel and (perhaps most importantly) toasted some marshmallows over the fire pit to have with some hot chocolate.
Tuesday - Prop Making
The weather was beautiful on Tuesday, so a few of the children went outside to help Mr Bourne run his PE sessions with the KS1 students. The rest of us got the paints out and started making some props for the Year 6 play, which is coming up very soon. No spoilers here though!
Monday - Baking
We kicked this week off by making some sweet treats to take home and (potentially) share with our families. We baked some snickerdoodle cookies that were rolled in cinnamon sugar, followed by some delicious cake pops that were expertly decorated with as many sprinkles as we could fit on them! See if you can spot Marshall sampling the sprinkles...
I am so incredibly proud of Sycamore Class and Year 6 in general. You have worked your socks off and gave everything you could this week. Have a lovely weekend and looking forward to taking you to Bude on Monday.
Enjoy the end of SATs photograph!
