• Goodbye!

  Fri 17 Jul 2015

  It is always a sad time as we lose our Year 4 children.  It is also a time of celebration.  Our aim for all our children is to help them be wonderful, talented, confident pupils who are ‘ready’ to move onto their next school.  We know that they will continue to make themselves and this school proud of them. We wish them well in their new schools and in their future lives and we will miss them all.

   

  Good bye and Good Luck to Jemima, Rhys, Layla, Connor, Lily, Eden, Freya, Sophia, Danny, Toby, George, Angus and Archie.

  Fond farewell to Mrs Herbert and Mrs Bultz.

  We will miss them all.

• Nigel Spring’s Butterfly Walk

  Fri 10 Jul 2015

  On Friday Nigel Spring has offered to take the school in two groups on a butterfly walk.  It is an amazing experience weather permitting for the children and we hope to see varied and wonderful varieties.

   

  Children need to have long trousers with socks over them in wellies or walking boots, long sleeved tops and sun hats please.

   

  WE DESPERATELY NEED PARENT HELPERS – 6 in the morning from between 10 and 12 noon, with Giant and Trendle Class and 2 parents in the afternoon session with Abbey – PLEASE.  

• Football Festival

  Thu 09 Jul 2015

  Toby, Angus and George have organised a Football Festival during the afternoon  of Thursday 9^th July.   We are hoping that the whole school will be able to play on 3 different pitches.

   

  We are having a whole school picnic – any child that has ordered a hot school meal will have chosen their choice of sandwich. 

   

  The lady who owns the ice cream van has kindly agreed to come onto the playing fields during the afternoon so that children can have an ice cream.  Please can we ask that they have £1 to buy one.

• Greek Day

  Wed 08 Jul 2015

  On Wednesday 8th July Abbey class will be having a Greek feast day. We will be cooking Ancient Greek food and completing activities that the children have researched. It would be nice if the children could dress up for the day so I would be very grateful if you could provide a costume for them to wear. If you need any help,  or ideas then please come and speak to Mrs Matteson but I am sure that you will all come up with something much more creative than I could!!

• Cerne Abbas Village Fête

  Sat 04 Jul 2015
  1. Calling all Knights, Lords, Ladies, Princesses and Serfs!

   

   

  Janine Ryan is helping to organise the church fete which this year is recognising the 800^th anniversary of the Magna Carta.

   

  We would love to see as many children (and grown-ups!) in medieval fancy dress.  It can be as fancy or as simple as you like (a tabard over clothing with a belt for example).

   

  There will be a procession starting at the school playing field at 1.20pm to walk to the vicarage gardens and be the official openers of the fête.  (Please note this is not a school run activity and the children will be your responsibility).

   

  All children participating will be entered into a prize draw.

   

  The school have also been asked to once again run the popular fruit tombola and donations of exotic fruits e.g. pineapples, mangos, kiwis will be requested during the week beginning Monday 29^th June.  More details to follow nearer the time.

• St. Mary's Charminter Football Tournament

  Wed 01 Jul 2015

  Everyone arrived at St. Mary’s Charminster First School for their annual Football Tournament where we were split into two groups where we each play the other teams, with the top two teams progressing to the semi-finals. We played some great football against Winterbourne Abbas, Damers “A”, Manor Park “A” and St Mary’s Charminster “B” scoring 12 goals between Toby, George and Rhys to top our group without losing a single game. We showed great team work, some wonderful defensive and goalkeeping displays along with some jinking solo runs. This guaranteed us top spot and a semi-final against Damers “B”. Again we showed how well we worked as a team and after a very tense opening 3 minutes we broke the deadlock with 2 quick goals and went on to win 3-1 comfortably.  Our final match was against Damers “A” but unfortunately we ran out of steam in this game and couldn’t repeat what we had done in our group game against them and lost 3-1. When the final whistle went and through our own personal disappointment all our children went to shake hands with the winners and congratulated them. Once again all our team showed what a credit to our school they are and we were all very proud of them. We would like to thank all parents who took their children and supported us that evening, couldn’t do it without this!
