Staff and children were really excited to take part in our first whole school 'Science Day'. Children from every class took part in a range of hands-on science activities based on the skills of actually being a scientist. Children learnt how to think like a scientist and act like a scientist. The activities included: making vehicles that fly; investigating the effect of friction on the movement of a buggy; observing the effect of exercise on heart rate and discovering that a snowman should wear a coat to stop him defrosting! Children learnt a range of skills including predicting, evaluating, measuring accurately and forming conclusions. Our budding scientists will be excited to hear that following this year's success there will be three science days next year where children will have the opportunity to be fully immersed in the wonderful world of science.

Hopefully we will see you again next year. Read more | Nov 20, 2020 Parent response during COVID period Posted by Magic A heartfelt thank you to you and all your staff for the hard work you have all obviously put in during these extremely difficult times . Every single staff member has a smile on their faces to greet our children in the mornings and I am so impressed with drop off and collections. It was probably the biggest decision I’ve ever had to make as to whether I would send my son to school or not but it was no doubt eased by the reassurance the staff gave me on the telephone and in particular how the Teaching Assistant that greeted him on his first day just swooped him up and made me feel safe leaving him. So thank you all so much you really are doing such a grand job and making parents and their children feel safe.

Thank you to all of the parents/careers who took their time to come and watch.

After close observation, the children had the opportunity to discuss what they had seen and think about further questions they could research. Read more | Feb 08, 2019 Royal Banquet at East-the-Water Primary Posted by Magic East-the-Water Primary School were delighted that the Queen and Prince Harry were able to squeeze in a visit to East-the-Water during their busy wedding schedule. The Queen even brought along her favourite corgi ‘Luna’. The royal pair spent time chatting to the children in the playground, joined in with the Royal Banquet and even took time to visit all the classrooms. Hunter, age 10, said “It was really clever how someone could dress up looking just like the Queen, even with her dog. It was really fun that the children and the staff dressed up too.” Three cheers to the school’s Cook Maxine, Canteen Staff, Teaching Assistants and Midday Supervisors who altogether ensured that the children celebrated in style. The children presented the Queen and Prince Harry with a slice of the royal wedding cake. Headteacher Catherine Higley commented “The children came to school dressed up as different characters from a royal court eg butler, maid, prince, knight, we even had a jester and a horse to pull the carriage. This added a special level to the celebration.” Read more | Jun 04, 2018 Treasure Hunt Posted by Magic As part of World Book Day and their ‘Treasure’ topic, children in Year 3/4 recently went on an orienteering treasure hunt.

Read more | Mar 12, 2018 Brilliant Brunel Posted by Magic Cedar, Cherry and Bay classes have been learning all about bridges this half-term.

Thank you to Ms Joanne Truran our Parliament Ambassador for organising this exciting week which including Headteacher's question time, dressing up for the day as a British icon and taking part in a real election process. Read more | Jan 08, 2018 Parliament Week Posted by Magic East-the-Water had a brilliant experience taking part in UK Parliament Week. In topic lessons, children in each phase explored different areas of Parliament throughout British history including the impact of the suffragette movement; the establishment of the Magna Carta; the relevance of Parliament's Petitions Committee and why laws, like our golden rules, are so important. Children and staff then had the opportunity to celebrate their favourite British icon when they dressed up as them on the Friday. We had a great range: Beatrix Potter, Emmeline Pankhurst, David Bowie, Harry Potter, Queen Victoria and Prince William to name but a few! The week was rounded off with a special version of Prime Minister's (or rather Headteacher's) questions where the School Council asked Mrs Higley about matters of the school on behalf of each class. Children had lots of fantastic questions and really enjoyed listening to Mrs Higley's response.

Lily, Neave, Katie, Annie, April and Lola were a credit to the school as they posed thoughtful questions and listened intently as Joe inspired them with his answers. They discussed writing techniques, sources of inspiration and Joe’s highlights of working for the North Devon Journal. The girls are brimming with ideas for exciting story lines and informative articles so make sure you look out for the first addition of the school newspaper, which will be coming out at the end of this term.

On Wednesday 28th June the big day arrived, we got the coach to Barnstaple Station and waited on the platform for our train. The train journey was very exciting and very busy with lots of people. When we got to Exeter we met the train guard and had a big walk around the station. We even got to watch the big trains come in. We had lunch in the park and had lots of fun on the swings and see saws. On the way home we gave the train guard our tickets and then looked out the windows and counted the sheep in the fields.

On the first day, we visited Buckingham Palace, which we travelled to by tube from the youth hostel. The children loved seeing the palace and trying to spot the royal family! On day 2, we visited the natural history museum, where we learnt about everything from dinosaurs to how our planet was created. We then went to the science museum where we got to try out lots of different experiments and learnt about forces, how light travels, how static is created and much more. After a busy day at the museums we went to see Wicked at the theatre; this was an amazing show and we were still singing all the songs the next day. On our last day in London, we went around the London eye where we could see all the famous landmarks in London. It was a brilliant trip ! Read more | May 25, 2017 Lifeguards from the RNLI Posted by Magic We were visited by lifeguards from the RNLI who delivered an assembly all about beach safety. Within the assembly, we learnt about what a lifeguard’s job involves and the different ways they help to save people (including the different equipment they use to carry out rescues). We also learnt about the dangers on beaches and especially the dangers on our local beaches – such as Westward Ho! and Woolacombe. An important explanation that the lifeguards gave us was about the different flags displayed on beaches and what each one means. Alongside this, we found out what we should do if we ever get into difficulty in the sea, as well as what we should do if we see others in trouble. Read more | May 04, 2017 Devon Cycling Championships Posted by Magic Congratulations to the team who travelled to Haldon Forest on Thursday to compete in the Devon Schools Cycling Championships.

Read more | Feb 09, 2017 Safer Internet Day Posted by Magic Pupils in KS2 were treated to a very special event to mark Safer Internet Day 2017. They began the afternoon exploring some of the issues in their classrooms. This focused on how to become responsible digital citizens and how to practice this at home and in school. Following this they attended a performance by singer/songwriter and YouTuber, Rich Cottel. Rich was inspiring, engaging and entertaining. He drew them in by performing some hits and even had some children up singing. He was then able to give the children an important message on cyber bullying and how to make sure you don’t find yourself a victim when online. They learnt the 10 second rule, to pause for 10 seconds before you post or share anything online and to ask yourself "would I want the whole world to see this?". This message really got through to the children, who came away with a greater awareness of online behaviour from someone who has embraced social media responsibly. They were all desperate for an autograph after as well! Read more | Feb 07, 2017 Viking warrior visit Posted by Magic Last week as part of our Viking topic, Years 3 and 4 were treated to a fantastic day with storyteller, Clive Pig.

In the 360 degree immersive chamber, the children worked together to learn about the people that work in Parliament by putting themselves into the shoes of the Monarch, Members of Parliament or Peers from the of House of Lords.
