• Bring a Bear to School Day

  Fri 30 Jun 2023 Mrs Hibbert

  Today we all wore blue and brought our teddies to school to raise money for Jeremiah's Journey - a Plymouth-based charity that provides free support to children, young people and their parents/carers who have or are about to experience the death of someone special.  

  We brought our bears into our Celebration Assembly so that they could join in with our Powerful Learners, Dojo Masters and Oracy Masters - I think they have all worked really hard!

  As a school, we have raised over £170.00 - Well done and thank you Mount Street.

  

• National Marine Park Plymouth

  Thu 29 Jun 2023 Mrs Hibbert

  Today, we received a visit from Nick, a Coastal Ranger for the National Marine Park, Plymouth.  They learned all about the work that Rangers do and the fascinating creatures that live in our waters.  Did you know that Plymouth is the UK's first and only National Marine Park?  

  The children also learned about how the tide is controlled by the moon and the sun.  They now know that the safest time to swim is at either high or low tide, with the next safest as the tide is coming in.

  All the children learned how to be safe and have fun near water remembering four simple rules:

  1. Stop and think

  2. Stay together.

  3. Float

  4. Call 999 or 112

  They all thoroughly enjoyed Nick's assembly.
