Year 4

Moles had an amazing trip to Dartmouth on the steam railway yesterday. They were learning about Brunel and the invention of the steam train and railways. They went on the train and on the passenger ferry. Then they walked to the park for lunch and were able to play on the play park. They had such an amazing day, and were a real credit to the school! A massive thank you to all of our parent helpers!

Year 5 had a visit from Anne Boleyn this afternoon! She talked about Henry VIII and his wives and even taught us a Tudor dance!

Year 4 had a superb day last week being hooked into their Anglo-Saxon learning experience. Throughout the day, they were immersed in activities which made them think about what life as an Anglo-Saxon might have been like. They made their own bread, designed coins, made shields, printed on fabrics and learnt a simple weaving technique!

Year 1 had a fantastic trip to Occombe Farm last week. 🐷🐐We started the day by making pizzas, we picked fresh herbs from the garden and made our own dough! Whilst the pizzas were cooking we had a walk around the farm and were very lucky to feed the goats and pigs, which the children really enjoyed. We were also very lucky with the weather and had a brilliant day! ☀️ Thankyou to all of the parents for your help, Year 1 team x🐰🦊

Before we broke up for Easter, the children were treated to a musical performance. They have been learning music for various amounts of time with Jacqui Reidlinger, one of our visiting music teachers here at Cockington. If you would like to find out more about music lessons for your child, please contact us to find out more.

Year 5 had a wonderful trip to Torre Abbey this morning! We got to explore the church ruins, the undercrofts and the 800 year exhibition. We had a lot of fun and learnt so much about our local history. The children were beautifully behaved and very respectful.

On Wednesday morning, several children performed some brilliant songs with their rock/pop bands. Years 2-6 got to watch them and everyone loved rocking out! Thank you to Callum from Rocksteady Music School who led the bands. If you're interested in signing up for Rock Steady and becoming a band member, there are still places available so check out their website: https://www.rocksteadymusicschool.com/ Rock on!

This afternoon, children from years 1, 5 and 6 went to watch the amazing Torquay Academy Performing Arts production of Matilda Jr. The show was incredible and so inspiring. Well done to all of the performers as well as the Cockington children, who behaved beautifully.
