WEST DOWN SCHOOL NEWSLETTER October 2017 PTFA News Willow Class wild Night Out The year started out fantastically for Willow Class with a camping trip to Watermouth Cove. The children enjoyed swimming in the rain in the outdoor pool then warmed up by an open fire on the beach where they toasted marsh mallows on the fire. All of the children were very well behaved and a good time was has by all despite the wet weather! Oak Class Wild Night Out Oak and Elderberry Classes enjoyed a fantastic, if somewhat wet, Wild Night Out at the beginning of term.  After arriving on the Thursday morning, both classes headed straight into their activities.  There was a visit to Pet-O-Rama and a fun filled swimming session at the pool.  Later on we went on a short hike and played various games while dinner was being cooked over the open fire.  Then as darkness settled we set out on a night hike into the forest using our senses and allowing our eyes to adjust to the darkness. There was just time for a quick hot chocolate and snack before everyone settled into their tents for some rest. Early the next morning we arose to torrential rain.  It was waterproofs on and all hands on deck to get camp taken down and tidied away. It took nearly a week to dry out all the tents, but fortunately the children dried out much quicker!  We're hoping that next year our Wild Night Out will be just as much fun, but a little bit drier! Bideford Fire Service Safety Talk Year’s 1, 2, 5 and 6 were visited by Devon and Somerset Fire Service. They spoke to the children about fire safety, including how to plan an escape route, fireworks, how to test smoke alarms and lots more. Harvest Festival This years Harvest Festival was a delight. All of the children sang beautifully and our older children entertained the crowd by playing the Ukulele. Thank you to everyone that came along and for all of your food donations. Oak Class Big Bang Science Event Oak and Elderberry Classes had a fantastic time at ‘The Big Bang’ a few weeks ago.  The event was a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) event, designed to engage and inspire children to get involved in the STEM subjects and hopefully careers. The day was packed with interactive workshops discovering CSI techniques, how the human body works and a scientific magic show.  There were even local manufacturers on hand to explain their trades and show the children examples of how STEM subjects are applied to day to day life an manufacturing. Year 4 Tarka Tennis Tournament Year 4 children took part in the Tarka Tennis Tournament in Barnstaple. The children played extremely well and showed great sportsmanship throughout the tournament. Well done! Whole School Parent Meeting Thank you to all that came along to our Whole School Parent Meetings, there was a wonderful turnout at both. PTFA News We raised over £1500 for Cancer Research from our sponsored fun run on the village field. Well done to all of the children!
