Offwell C of E Primary School Our Core Values: Honesty, Loyalty, Caring, Sharing and Forgiveness.

Dear Friends and Families,

It has been a quiet few days in school this week with Oak on their residential

trip to Barton Hall. We are looking forward to hearing about it next week.

Highlight of the Week:

Ash: Making clay flowers

Willow: The Year 2 children focusing on their SATs and trying their hardest.

Beech: Solving maths problems in context

Oak: They are still on their residential trip and hopefully that is their highlight!

Ella’s highlight is spending time in Ash Class and getting to know the children

better.

Quad Kids

Some of the Year 5 and 6 children

took part in this athletics event in

Honiton earlier in the week. They

took part in a 75m sprint, 600m run,

Vortex Howler Throw and a standing

long jump. Well done to Cally,

Scarlett, Megan, Freya, Becky, Isaac,

Jack, William, Josh and Charlie.

Driving in the Village

A reminder to keep your speed down when driving in the country lanes and

particularly through the village. There has been a report of cars driving too fast

and safety of all pedestrians is paramount.

we regularly put up to the minute photos of things

that we have been doing in (or out) of school.
