Over the past few weeks, we have taken part in a variety of football activities as part of the #MonsterKickabout initiative.
Today, we used our new footballs and bibs to host some inter-class football matches.
We have also set up some skills-based challenges as well as using some of the other resources to design our own Top Trumps cards, football kits and football mascots.
It has been amazing to see so many of our children getting involved!
Thanks to our playleaders and Sports Direct for making this possible.

We were incredibly proud of our Year 6 children who represented us at the Axminster Armistice Day act of Remembrance. The local community joined together to reflect and show their gratitude at 11am this morning. The children from Chardstock, alongside those from other local schools, showed their respect and read beautifully during the service. Lest We Forget.

The children in Foxes Class have been reading the book Cogheart by Peter Bunzl and have been working hard this half term on their mechanicals. We are really impressed with their unique drawings. They also wrote an explanation text about how to repair them.
