FECS Summer Fete

Exmouth Lifeboat Station

The Year 1 classes had a brilliant day out at the seaside! We learnt all about the RNLI and how important safety is when visiting the beach. After the tour, we enjoyed our lunch on the Exmouth Beach where a seagull almost stole a pupil’s lunch!

Year 6 trip to Buckland Abbey

We travelled back in time to Elizabethan England, as part of our Tudor studies in History, to visit Sir Francis Drake’s home.

On his return he was knighted and used his fortune […]
