First Day at Arthog – Everyone Having Fun!

Despite one camera failure, we were able to capture some lovely photos of the Year 6 children enjoying their first day at Arthog 2026. Everyone had a great first day, ate well, and went to bed early in incredibly tidy dorms (one of those is a teeny weeny fib).

Visit from Dr Simon Nightingale

Yesterday afternoon Oak class welcomed Dr Simon Nightingale, a member of the Humanist Society, to Bicton. He very kindly came to talk to us about Humanism, to support our RE question- What matters most to Humanists and Christians?
He explained how Humanists know about the world and how they know what is right and wrong.
The children then had the opportunity to ask him questions to deepen their understanding of Humanism.
