Today in maths we worked collaboratively to interpret data, focusing on one or two step problems. Well Done Year 3 😊

One of our parents has organised a clothes swap this Saturday in the Drama Hall at Honiton Community College.  The idea being that we can reduce the impact on the environment of purchasing more clothes, instead we can drop off clothes we no longer want in the morning between 8am and 10am and then return after 1pm to find new ones!

If you have unwanted clothes that are in clean and good condition we would be grateful if you could donate them to this event, even if you cannot make it on the day.  We can provide a ticket to come back on Saturday to look for new clothes so please do drop off unwanted items on Friday if more convenient.

As well as the clothes swap there will also be tea, coffee and cake available out on the grass area, and all donations on the day will be passed on to the Red Cross Ukranian Appeal.

This is a great opportunity to help the environment, our community and raise funds for Ukraine.  We hope to see you at College on Saturday.

Year 5 explored and demonstrated reversible changes using filtering, sieving and evaporation. We worked collaboratively and had great fun! 

Nursery had a wonderful morning in the woods on Wednesday, enjoying the sunshine and noticing all the signs of spring. The children noticed daffodils, leaves budding on trees and took delight in finding and holding a variety of mini beasts! 

🌟 Congratulations to our Year 6 Netball Team who represented East Devon at the Devon Schools Finals in Paignton today. They played with energy, passion and commitment and every player should be feeling really proud of their achievement and progression - finishing 4th in the group stage! A fantastic result! Your behaviour, attitude and manners were simply impeccable - you were a real credit as HPS ambassadors: well done to you all 🌟

Over the last few afternoons we have been doing our S.O.L.E learning. S.O.L.E stands for Self Organised Learning Environment and it involves us being in control of our learning and being organised. We had some must activities that we had to do such as, designing a kite out of suitable materials, conducting a science investigation, learning about the globe and the continents, Holy Week in RE and using Beebots to create algorithms. We have been very proud of the children and how hard they have worked. 

Year 3 have had an excellent PE lesson playing volley ball! Well done Year 3 :) 

Wow! What a fab afternoon!

This afternoon, Year 2 have been getting their teeth stuck into a range of activities including: conducting a science experiment, finding suitable materials for a task, exploring globes and atlases, but the all time favourite was the Bee-Bot!!!

The children went off to programme, sequence and create algorithms to get their bot between places. They had fun with our pirate themed activities!

We had an amazing bunch of superheroes with us today and had a brilliant time! We named the different body parts and what sense is associated with each. Using those super senses, we investigated our touch, taste, smell, hearing and sight in some different activities. We also used our amazing super powers to tackle an obstacle course - look at us go!

Year 3 have had a lovely morning at HCC! We have learnt about magnets. We have discovered with materials are attracted to magnets and which aren’t. Did you know that not all metals are attracted to magnets? We also discovered that magnets don’t always have to touch an object to attract it! Well done Year 3!
