Year 2

We have had such a lovely couple of days being supported by the Cockington PTA in a variety of activities. We had the amazing Spring disco where we took over £500 for school funds. We have had the Easter egg hunt where every child received an Easter treat. They also judged the Easter competition. The standard was very high and you could tell a lot of effort was put into all the entries. Thank you so much for supporting your child at home with this. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy! Happy Easter!

During this half term in Year 1 as part of our jigsaw lessons Rabbits and Foxes have been learning about what it means to be healthy and the different ways we can maintain a healthy lifestyle, including eating a balanced diet, staying active and getting enough sleep. The children have thoroughly enjoyed these lessons with Miss Owens and have shared many ideas about how to stay healthy. As the end of term is here, on Wednesday the children made their own fruit salad, showing how to be collaborative, and persevering. They all had a turn making the salad and stiring it all up! It all looked delicious! Well done everyone, and enjoy your Easter break! 😋 🍓🍊🍌🍍

Our Year 6 girls had a fantastic time at the Beginners Rugby MegaFest at Paignton Rugby Club! 🏉 The morning was packed with fun, skill-building activities where the girls showed great enthusiasm, teamwork and determination. In the afternoon, they put their new skills into action in a series of games, growing in confidence with every match. We are so proud of their positive attitudes, effort and sportsmanship throughout the day — they represented our school brilliantly! A huge well done to all involved 👏 We’re already looking forward to more opportunities like this in the future!

Our Year 4 team travelled to Preston for their very first competitive netball match and showed fantastic teamwork, determination and sportsmanship throughout. We are incredibly proud to share that Cockington came away with a win! 🎉 The children represented the school brilliantly and should be so proud of their achievement. This is just the beginning, and we’re really excited to see what the future holds for this team! 🌟

Year 5 had a great week last week. For those children who did not go on the residential, they had fun making Easter chocolate nests, watching Chitty, Chitty Bang bang at Torquay Academy, painting pictures, making dens and learning archery skills, as well as having lots of fun! Here are some photos of the fun we managed to catch!

Last week, Years 1, 5 and 6 were treated to a musical extravaganza at Torquay Academy. We went to watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and what a show it was! We were amazed to see some ex Cockington pupils performing in the lead role and they were phenomenal! Well done to everyone!

Congratulations to our value award winners this week.
