    Although our school may be a little quieter during the summer holidays, there's still plenty happening behind the scenes! Our staff have been busy clearing classrooms, organising resources, preparing displays and giving our learning spaces a fresh start, ready for the new academic year. There's still lots to do over the coming weeks, but we're already looking forward to welcoming our wonderful pupils back in September. We can't wait to see our classrooms transformed into exciting, inspiring spaces for learning and to begin another fantastic year together. Until then, we hope everyone is enjoying a happy, safe and restful summer holiday!

    What a wonderful performance from our Year 5 children! Over the past few weeks, they have immersed themselves in the world of A Midsummer Night's Dream, exploring Shakespeare's characters, language, and timeless storytelling. Through hard work, determination, and teamwork, they brought the play to life with confidence and enthusiasm. Their performance was a fantastic reflection of everything they have learned and the effort they have put into every rehearsal. We are incredibly proud of each and every one of them for embracing the challenge and putting on such an entertaining and memorable show. Well done, Year 5!

    What an unbelievable day of football for our incredible Year 6 team at the North Devon Finals in Barnstaple. The tournament truly had it all, dramatic last-minute goals, spectacular saves, and heroic tackles and that was just in the group stages. After a superb run through the Bideford qualifiers and today's finals, our journey came to an end in a dramatic penalty shootout in the semi finals. While penalties are always a tough way to finish, we are incredibly proud of the boys to finish as the 4th best team out of all the North Devon Schools. Huge congratulations to the team.

It was an engaging and informative session, and our Year 5 pupils asked some fantastic questions. A big thank you to Police Officer Adam for taking the time to visit and inspire our children!

    Last week at WRAP, we celebrated Music Week with a variety of creative and interactive activities. Children made their own musical instruments using recycled materials, explored the different sounds they could create, and even composed their own music. The week also included music quizzes, music-themed word scrambles, and favourite games such as musical statues and musical chairs. Children expressed their creativity by drawing to music and enjoyed exploring rhythm and movement through fun musical activities. This week at WRAP, it's Sports Week! Children will be taking part in a range of exciting sporting activities, including obstacle courses, egg and spoon races, bean bag balancing races and many more fun challenges designed to build teamwork, coordination and confidence. Children will also have the opportunity to design their own sport or game, take part in a variety of outdoor sports, and work together to create warm-up activities for the group. To finish the week, they'll enjoy an orienteering challenge, matching flags to countries while putting their problem-solving and teamwork skills to the test. We're looking forward to another active, energetic and fun-filled week at WRAP!
