Marshwood Primary PFA have secured us a blue token place in Axminster and Lyme Regis Tesco stores. Be sure to pop as many blue tokens into the Marshwood School section of the collection box each time that you head to store. The funds received will help phase 3 of our playground development. This will be in place for the summer holidays. Please share with your friends and family.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to Marshwood Community Land Trust and Tesco for helping us fund our new fantastic picnic benches which will be used by the children at Marshwood for many years to come. We are blessed to have such a fantastic outdoor area and are grateful for new updated benches and parasols extending our learning space into the outdoors.

Year 5 designed, created and shared their very own mathematical board game. They all thought very carefully about what needed to be explained and included within their rules, allowing everyone who played them to thoroughly enjoy themselves. The games included money, score keeping as well as different maths calculations.

In Science, Coneys class are learning about plants. They are learning to identify parts of a plant and their functions and have looked at the life cycle of a sunflower. The children have planted a variety of seeds, and are enjoying seeing them grow. Violet is extremely proud of her seed that she planted that has come from a beanbag that broke on the playground! This started as a seed and has grown into a seedling and now has a healthy shoot.

A HUGE well done to all of our children who took part in the First Federation Trust @timestablesrockstars_official 'Top of the Rocks' Battle. They competed against all 29 schools in the First Federation Trust and finished as the highest scoring school! Year 4 also were recognised for their hard work finishing as the 2nd highest scoring band of any school! It was fantastic to see the children so excited and enthusiastic during this competition, completing times table challenges on this great online platform! Well done Marshwood!

Marshwood Church are holding a plant/seed swap cafe on Sunday 18th May, 3 - 4:30pm
Do you have any plants that are tucked in the corner of your garden as you've run out of space? Or plants that need to be split down as too big? Or maybe packets of seeds you have left over or are never going to grow? We'd love these as donations at our plant cafe please!
If you're not green fingered and more comfortable working with self raising flour 😉, we would really appreciate donations of cake or other sweet treats.
If you are unable to make the cafe but have some items you'd like to donate, please bring to school on Friday afternoon. Please pass food donations to Marie or Paul Winnett and leave any plants in the churchyard, behind the wall, below the noticeboard. Thank you!
We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
Thank you for your support.

On Thursday we had a wonderful day celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day. We enjoyed playing games from the past during breaktime and learning about VE Day during our history lessons. We were then joined by the PFA and friends and family for a picnic on our playground, sharing yummy treats with our friends and playing outside. #veday80thanniversary
