• School Council's Send My Friend to School Campaign

  Fri 30 Jun 2017 School Council

  Our Abbey Class School Councillors set off this morning on a big bus to St. Osmund's School in Dorchester. They joined the rest of the schools in DASP and got their banners ready to march to the town centre where they got people to sign a petition to support the campaign for all children, around the world to go to school and have an education. After that they went to the Corn Exchange where they met Oliver Letwin. All the schools presented a presentation/speech to Mr Letwin and then had the opportunity to ask him one question.

  Mrs Cain felt extremely proud of her school councillors, they were incredibly confident and passionate about their campaign! Well done Max, Amabelle, Ella and Sam!

  

• Forest School

  Thu 29 Jun 2017 Mrs Cain

  Year 4 had their first Forest School session today! They all enjoyed the session and feedback at the end was all very positive! In today's session we discussed suitable clothing for the forest, played a game around the fire circle to help us prepare for being safe around the fire, had hot chocolate around the fire circle, found leaves around the Forest School site and began to learn how to identify them as well as making rubbings of them with foil! It was a very busy session and felt like it went very quickly! We made a group agreement of how we all want to behave and be treated in the Forest School environment, identifying some risks and deciding how we can manage these risks. The Year 4s were brilliant at this and were very excited to agree to this group agreement as they got to sign it with a muddy fingerprint! It was a wonderful first session and we are all looking forward to our next session on Tuesday afternoon. Another huge thank you to FOCUS for raising the funds to enable us to do it!

   

   

   

  

• Sports Day

  Thu 22 Jun 2017

  Today we had our sports day, the weather was perfect for us after 3 very hot days and all the children excelled in their races and made us very proud of them, they all showed all our 7 C's throughout the afternoon making this another enjoyable day.

   

  Thank you to Mr Treble for bringing out the Year 8 sports leaders from DMS and to all the staff for their support and especially to all the parents/grandparents/friends who all came to cheer everyone on.

• Rockley Watersports Festival

  Mon 19 Jun 2017

  Today we travelled to Poole Park to participate in Rockley Watersports Festival, we arrived in glorious sunshine and set up camp underneath a Gazebo ready to start activities, we changed into our wetsuits and life jackets and first up we were shown how to control our paddle's before being launched into the water on Kayak's in 2's, we then spent 20 minutes paddling around and sometimes falling off (may have been intentional due to weather!) before a short food/water break. After this we were shown how to control our Piccolo yacht's, at this moment myself and Mrs Macey looked at each other with nervous faces and wondered how many we would be taking back! We needn't have worried as they were taken off on tiny speed boats and all 4 of our pairs controlled their boats with expertise and none had capsized, although there was one close shave! After they were safely back on dry land we had another quick food/water break before we took on other pairs in Kayak races during the afternoon.

   

  Just before we left we had time to take a trip to the tuck shop for some sweets and then dressed to come back to school. All our children Jack, Niamh, Johnny, Oliver, Amabelle, Hannah, Katie and Jasmine showed all our 7 C's especially confidence, communicative and conscientious and we were very proud of them.

   

  I would like to say a thank you to Mrs Macey for coming with myself and the children, was much appreciated.
