What's new at Ipplepen:

Start Bay Centre
Class 4 went on a residential visit to the Start Bay Centre in Slapton. They visited Start Point lighthouse where they had a tour. They also went to the ruined fishing village of Hallsands and made sculptures using items found on the beach. Back at the Centre, they did lots of physical challenges where they had to work as a team. Everybody agreed it had been a worthwhile and enjoyable trip!

Pixies’ Holt
Class 5 went to Pixies’ Holt at Dartmeet on Dartmoor.
They did lots of exciting activities such as mountain biking, orienteering and shelter building.
They also had fun in the evenings with a Britain’s Got Talent show.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
We performed the Shakespeare 4 Kidz’ version of
‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. It is written in modern English largely but some of the most famous lines and poetry is retained. There are also 12 songs to sing!
We were also lucky enough to be able to watch the children’s version of Macbeth at Plymouth University

Beaford Centre
Class 6 went to the Beaford Centre in north Devon for their residential visit. They had a local artist work with them. They sketched the hills, woodlands and fields
near to the centre and used their sketches to do felt making and paint the landscape in water colours.

Clay World War 2 Evacuees
Having pretended to be world war 2 evacuees, we each made some evacuees sitting on a bench in clay. We fired them in the kiln and then painted them.

World War 2 Day
We had a world war 2 day when everybody dressed up as if they were evacuees and two men from Exeter Museum came and they acted as a policeman and an air raid precaution warden.
We learnt how to use morse code and what to do with an incendiary bomb.
