  Today our Year 3's took part in an Athletics Festival at DMS, we were split into different colour groups with different schools and were helped by Year 8 sport leaders to have a go at all the stations including javelin, hurdles, speed jumps, target throwing and more. 

   

  Everyone really enjoyed the festival and showed our 7 C's throughout the morning making Mrs Price and Miss Nottley proud of them all. 

  

• Dodgeball Festival

  Wed 04 May 2016
  Today we took part in a *NEW* festival of Dodgeball, we arrived at Damers first School and were greeted by year 4 children from Damers and year 7 DMS pupils. Mr Treble introduced what was going to happen throughout the morning, 5 stations and then matches to play at the end, he focused on everyone having some fun and making new friends, he then split the schools into 5 teams and set them on their way. After the stations we had a quick snack then everyone made up a team name and then were off to play some matches, with balls flying everywhere the hall was soon filled with cheering and shouting!! Finally Mr Treble thanked all the children for a wonderful morning and after a quick Hi five to all the sports leaders we were on our way back to school. The children were all buzzing as for many of them this was their first festival and once again showed all our 7 C's to make us proud of them all.

• DASP Kidsmeet

  Wed 27 Apr 2016 Year 3 and Miss Cook

  Today Year 3 went to the annual DASP Kidsmeet at the Thomas Hardye School in Dorchester. They had an amazing day! They took along their comic strips they made on the tablets on an APP called Comisize to show the other children. They enjoyed showing the other children their learning and loved seeing everyone else's. Our highlight was meeting the man from Google who came to show us Google Expeditions and Google Cardboard! We wore our Google Cardboard goggles to go on expeditions to The Great Barrier Reef, Space, El Cap, Russia to see a volcano, Buckingham Palace and many more! We also loved seeing drones, green screens, animation software and making new friends! We are all excited about technology now! Year 3 were all of our school values and a pleasure to take out of school today.

• Orienteering at DMS

  Wed 16 Mar 2016

  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 were split into pairs with Winterbourne Valley First School and had to first find pictures from photos around the school, then race back to show the year 8 leaders where abouts the photo was taken on the orienteering map of the school. They used their observation skills, communication and were very co-operative 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, Mrs Price and Miss Nottley were exhausted just watching them! They ended their enjoyable morning by thanking the year 8 leaders and Mr Treble. The children did our school proud and they were all confident, courteous, co-operative and communicative with each other and  their new friends from Winterborne Valley, making them a credit to Cerne Abbas First School.

  

• Milborne Football Festival

  Tue 08 Mar 2016

  As always our team had eagerly awaited this afternoon, many not having played in any competitions so far, on arrival we had our lunch and got ourselves warmed up for our first game. 

   

  We played Broadmayne first and were a little slow to get into the game and found us 3 nil down from some great strikes before we knew it, Clayton did relieve the pressure with a couple good runs in attack but to no joy. Our next game was Charminster, we were unlucky in this game, only drawing 0-0, Jack had several shots and Max was tenacious in midfield, all over the place. Cheselbourne were up next and with some great defending from Will and Ellie kept this game at 0-0, Vaila also came into her own in midfield and ran her socks off, we then played the match of our lives against a strong St Mary's team and just lost out to the last kick of the game, 2-1, however Owen superbly scored our only goal in this game, finding the net against a keeper signed on by Bournemouth!! Finally we played Winterbourne and with Honor in goal and some superb defending by Silas we nearly snatched the points with a fine shot by Oliver.  

   

  Once again the children did us proud and they all left with smiles on their faces, we wold like to thank Mrs Tite, Mrs Moore, Mr Horsington and Mr Fountain for their support in the cold and sometimes wet weather, was much appreciated. 

  

• Lamb visits School

  Fri 26 Feb 2016
  Today we had a special visitor, Lamby the Lamb came to meet the children, the children were able to bottle feed him, stroke him (when they could get close to him) and were able to ask questions. We would like to thank Mr Horsington for bringing him in, we loved hearing all about Lamby and learning other amazing facts!
