• Seeds and Berries Walk

  As part of our commitment to the ‘Trees for Dorset’ Campaign, Trendle Class will be going on a Seeds and Berries Walk during the morning and then in the afternoon Year 1 children will plant their seedlings in the quiet area. These seedlings will be the trees that are planted in memory of their time at Cerne Abbas School when they leave at the end of Year 4.

  Welcome back everyone! And welcome to our new children in Giant Class and in Abbey Class!
  
  It has been a real pleasure welcoming the children in and getting ourselves settled and ready to learn for this new half term. The children are happy and excited about the new learning they will be involved with over the next 7 weeks. Please remember to check the children's class blogs to find out what they have been learning about and, if you would like some more detail into where the Topic is leading, look at the the Mind Maps and Learning Outline letters under the Curriculum and Letters sections respectively.
  
  Please also remember, if you would like to discuss your child's learning progression or development please do just call or pop in to arrange an appointment.
  
  Kind regards,
  
  David Vann.
