Fun on Fridays
Fri 09 Jan 2015This is an important part of our week when the children take part in fun activities and parents and members of the community help us.
We are looking to revamp it and would like to take this as an opportunity to ask if you could give up 45 minutes every Friday or every other Friday or maybe even once a month to contribute to a fun activity. Ideas could include art activities, sports activities or gardening.
Miss Cook organises this time and she would like to have your name and what time you are able to give her to enable her to continue with the smooth running of this afternoon. Please could you speak directly to her if you can come and help (even if you already help please can you speak to Miss Cook to re confirm how often you can commit)
Please could you let Miss Cook know of your commitment by Thursday 15th January at the latest. Thank you for your support.

Also, during 'Fun on Friday', the children will be creating a crafty Christmas treasure for their parents or grandparents to buy. So we are asking whether you can create something for our stall. Maybe some bags of flapjack or shortbread, a jar of jam, a crochet blanket, a pin cushion, homemade soap, a tray of Christmas fudge, an apple pie, a bottle of homemade wine, some
gingerbread men....have some fun with it.....tis the season to be jolly after all! No donation will be too big or small.
Help is needed to help set up and sell on the day....no heavy lifting and short shifts and also lots of smiling will be required!

Basketball Festival
Wed 26 Nov 2014We arrived for our much anticipated Basketball Festival at St Osmunds Middle School where we met our Year 7 team leader, Matt. He warmed us up before we had a pre-festival talk given by organiser Mr Fisk. Then we made our way to our first game against St Mary’s Catholic and with some excellent supply from Angus,Toby powered through and scored a hat trick with no reply, a superb start, 3-0. Next up was our own federated School, Winterbourne Abbas, we dominated the early stages and with some lovely skills from a light footed George, we deservedly went ahead, then they scored to make it 1-1, Freya then released George down the wing with a quick throw and he celebrated with style after getting his second in the game, but in the dying seconds Winterbourne broke free and scored their second to make it a draw, 2-2. Milborne Port were our next opponents, we started slowly and fell behind but with our determined spirit we fought back when Lily confidently scored to draw level and after George was taken off with an injury, Toby arrived right on cue to score the winner, 2-1. Then we played Damers, these were the 2 strongest teams and proved to be a cracker of a game with many chances but Damers could not score against our resolute defence of Rhys and Eden, Freya then came into her own and shot a quick double putting us in charge with Toby finishing it off to make it 3-0. Our rest game came after this and we took in fluids and our snacks to replenish our energy. Our last game was against Charminster, with everyone a little nervous we played the game with the same energy and with Connor supplying the balls upto George for his 3rd and Toby for 2 more we finished winning in style 3-0. Everyone thanked the Year 7 students for the fantastic leadership skills and after all the certificates were handed out we were told the results. In 3rd place was Winterbourne, 2nd was Damers and 1st was Cerne Abbas!
WE HAD WON!!
Our children showed us once again how they worked together as a team, co-operatively, communicated well with each other and how confident they were to show everyone the skills they had learnt in PE. Mrs Price and Miss Nottley were so proud of them, Miss Nottley had waited over 13 years to have a winning team and it was worth the wait!!
