Here are some snapshots from this week’s Art & Craft Club and KS2 DT sessions! 🖌 Art & Craft Club This week, the children explored doodle art! They created their own imaginative designs and brought them to life using watercolours, carefully painting each section in different colours. The results were wonderfully vibrant and unique. 🔨 KS2 Design & Technology Our KS2 pupils worked in pairs to build their final prototype cars. They then tested their creations to see how well they performed - ready to refine their ideas and develop their own final designs. Lots of teamwork, problem‑solving and creativity on display!

🎄We would like to wish all our children, families and local community a very happy Christmas.🎄 Our Christmassy week started with a very special visit from Father Christmas and his elves. We enjoyed a lovely Christmas lunch with Christmas music, crackers and Christmas jumpers before our Carol Service in the church. Lovely singing and recorder playing from all. We also enjoyed a brilliant trip to #westlandsentertainmentvenue to see Beauty and the Beast. 🌟We thank you for all your support this past year and look forward to the new year. #smallschool #Membury #Christmas

Last week, our Year 3 and 4 children got hands-on with their science learning, exploring the digestive system in a fun and interactive way. They learned about the different parts of the digestive system and how everything works together to help our bodies process food. There were brilliant questions, lots of curiosity, and a few giggles when things got a bit messy! #LearningThroughDoing #PrimaryScience #DigestiveSystem #firstfederation We have spaces in all year groups and would love to welcome you to look around our wonderful small school! Contact office@membury-primary.devon.sch.uk to organise your visit.

Today, we came together to honour the anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day. The children took part in discovering the significance of this historic day and why it continues to matter. They listened attentively to Winston Churchill’s iconic speech, gaining insight into the emotions and relief felt across the nation in 1945. We then celebrated with a joyful ‘street party’ style gathering, complete with music, decorations, and plenty of smiles! A wonderful way to remember, reflect, and celebrate together. #VEDay #LestWeForget #HistoryInTheMaking #ChurchillSpeech #StreetPartyCelebration
