• Extreme Reading Challenge (ROAR)

  Sat 26 Oct 2013
  We are always thinking of ways to inspire and encourage the children to improve and develop their reading skills.  Linked to this, at half term, we are setting an Extreme Reading Challenge for the children and parents in order to Raise Our Attainment in Reading (ROAR)!
   
  We would like to see who can find the most unusual and daring place to carry out their reading.  To record these adventurous moments, we are sending the children home with two recording sheets.  There is a space on them for a photo and then we would love to know the title of the book, and why you chose this particular place.
   
  We look forward to sharing your experiences, which we will display on our ROAR board in the corridor for everyone to view.

• FA Football Skills

  Fri 18 Oct 2013
  FA football
   
  The children have thoroughly enjoyed and embraced these last 6 weeks of football sessions with the FA’s Andy Harris. They have learnt which different parts of the foot you can kick a ball with, dribbling, how to dodge a defender and learnt when to kick the ball ahead of you when there is space. They have visited Dinosaur Island, Football Mountain and have even been into space where they were astronauts visiting planets in their spaceships. Both Mrs Price and Miss Nottley have seen the children getting more confident each week, working co-operatively with each other and communicating their different and inventive ideas as the weeks progressed. We were proud of both their behaviour and willing to learn attitude, they really are a credit to our School. Thank you to all the parents who came to the workshop and watched the children. Also a huge thank you to Andy, even the children who said at the start they didn’t want to play football ended up running around with huge smiles on their faces, you inspired them all! 
  
  
  
  
  

  

• Dance Genius!

  Fri 18 Oct 2013
  Cerne Abbas Dance Class
   
  Mrs Price is very excited about her new “Dance Crew” she said she was totally overwhelmed with how popular it was and that there were children from all ages. This half term they have been eager,  full of energy and have all joined in to learn the Cha Cha Slide routine. They always start with a vigorous warm up then progress on to learning specific moves like the “Cha Cha”, “Hands on knees” and “Charlie Brown” actions. They have learnt how to work in a team by being co-operative with each other and showing excellent courteous behaviour. This culminated in performing for the whole School and teachers in what can only be described as a dance masterpiece, with many spectators joining in, especially reception and everyone had a smile on their face. 
  Mrs Price and her growing crew will now be working on a different routine for next term .......So watch this space!!
