Every Wednesday afternoon, we have mini police. It is a fun activity that lets us feel what it’s like to be police people in real life. We chose road safety as our topic this year. We get to learn road safety and learn about how police-people help keep everyone safe and sound. The policeman ( P.C Matt) told us about how many people are scared of the police and think they are there just to arrest us and put us in prison, but actually they are there to keep everyone safe and keep the country fair. My friend says ‘ I am really excited to do speed cameras on the final week.’ ( So am I).This week  P.C Matt is coming in in his full on uniform this week.

My favourite part of the LONDON TRIP was Harry Potter World / Warner Bros Studios. Everything was Harry Potter themed. We went on a tour around all Harry Potter exhibits. There were so many statues and movies and costumes and cool rooms. There were passage ways and epic sculptures and some things you would never imagine. There was even butter beer (we did not get to try it ). Some things looked so life like that if you took a quick glance at it you would think it was real. Paige said ‘my favourite part was the workshop where we destroyed the cloth’. My favourite part was the main hall with the life size sculpture of a dragon. It was so cool !

On the 30th of January, the year fives went to London with Umberliegh, Newton Tracy, High Bickington, Witheridge and Beaford. We stayed there for four days and three nights.

On the first day, we went to  Harry Potter world where we destroyed fabric. We also looked at some of the real costumes for the movie. Then we just wondered round in our school groups to see other things.

On  the second day, we went to the Houses of Parliament to take a tour and see our MP Selaine Saxby to ask her a few questions about her self  and what she thinks. Later, that day we went to the theatre to see the lion king.

On the third day, we went to the Natural History Museum and saw a white tiger ( Panthera tiger  ). Later on, we went to London Zoo and saw four real tigers ( bengal ) their names were Hari, Arli, Barney, Arise.

On the fourth and final day, we went to the science museum and went to the wonder lab with lots of cool interactive experiments. After that we were heading home with fifty eight very grumpy children.

Farm school is when we go to a farm and learn about the farm. At farm school, we learn about vegetables and animals. We learn how to herd sheep. We feed animals such as cows and sheep. It is Farmer Ollie who hosts it  (Arthur’s dad). As they live on a farm we have to bring in non- school uniform (reminder for parents and carers!). I went the other day and got sheep poo all up the back of my legs (ha ha ha).

On Friday was our Christingle service. Adrien and Sue (the people from the church) hosted our Christingle service. Kyah, Sophia and Gladys all read prayers. We have been practising songs for three weeks now and it paid off. We all sang amazingly and it sounded brilliant.

On the 1st of December we did a lantern parade where the ‘ whole school ‘ walked down into the village square  and sung some Christmas carols shine Jesus shine, calypso carol, jingle bells (  with the jambie jams ) and we sang we three kings. There was a BBQ and some other stalls but in the church there  was a Santa’s grotto and on the way in was the Grinch was there handing out sweets in a sack.
