• Zumba day!

  Thu 26 Mar 2015

  Today we enjoyed a wonderful day of Zumba! Becky came into school and took each class teaching them games to warm up and then routines to great funky music. All the children had smiles on their faces and behaved courteously and confident while learning the new routines, they showed great energy, style and dance moves throughout all sessions and we even saw teachers and TA's joining in! We would all like to thank Becky for making the day fun, energetic and enjoyable, we all loved it!

  

• Orienteering

  Wed 18 Mar 2015

  Year 4's spent a fun morning at DMS taking part in orienteering, after being given a quick tour of the school, they were off! They had to first find pictures from photos around the school, then race back to show the year 7 leaders where abouts the photo was taken on the orienteering map of the school. They used their observation skills and co-operation to find as many as they could. After a quick pit stop their next task was punch orienteering, each pair was given a sheet with a list of numbers which they had to locate on the map, find the clip and punch the pattern next to the number. Off they raced with renewed energy and arrived back with many fulfilled sheets, congratulations to Amelia and Hannah who completed the most! With lots of red faces and smiles,  Mrs Price and Miss Nottley were exhausted just watching them! They ended their enjoyable morning by thanking the year 7 leaders, Levi Dailey and Mr Treble. The children did our school proud and they were all confident, courteous and communicative with each other and Winterborne Abbas, making them a credit to Cerne Abbas First School.
