Tag Rugby Tournament

Fri 07 Nov 2014

Our Tag Rugby Team arrived at Dorchester Rugby Club with loads of enthusiasm and optimism, they ran to meet Mr Treble who called over an ex pupil Alex with his friend Lloyd who then put them through their paces in a little warm up, they then were welcomed by Mr Dailey and Mr Treble together with the other 4 teams. Next they set off to have a go at 5 activities which included mini games, a tag game, a dodging sprint and their best one the tackle bag run, this is where they had to run at the tackle bag and smash into it with their shoulder and landing on it, this they all enjoyed and all the adults including us wanted to have a go!

Then the games started, our first game we came up against arguably the strongest team there, Damers, we started slowly and found ourselves 3 nil down before we could think until Toby started our fight back with 2 wonderful runs to peg them back to 3-2, but unfortunately we couldn’t get the 3^rd and they scored a breakaway fourth to seal the win 4-2. Then we played Charminster and having had a pep talk from Mrs Price and Miss Nottley we played some lovely attacking rugby with Jack scoring first, Angus then took over with some great dodging and scored 2 tries and Toby finished off for a convincing win 4-0, Freya and Rhys shone in this game too with some excellent tag work to keep Charminster from scoring any tries. It was then our rest game and we all tried to stay warm with a game of tag as by then the rain had begun. Having won our last game they went into the next against Manor Park on a high but just couldn’t get going and with the ball now wet our handling let us down and Manor Park were able to scoop the ball up from loose balls to score their 3 tries, however the highlight of that game was George collecting the ball from near the half way line and bombing down the line to score his try, making it 3-1. Our final game was against St Mary’s Catholic and this was by far our best with our most convincing win 7-0, Toby and Angus added 2 apiece to add to their tallies before Lily stole the show with a sprint down the line to score her first try, she turned with the biggest smile on her face, then Dan finished things off with a fine run himself and just short of the line he was tagged but looked back and played the perfect pass to Eden who got our last try.

We then joined the other schools in thanking the Year 4 Sports leaders who were fantastic and Mr Dailey as always, also a special shouted out “thank you” to Mr Treble for his superbly run first competition.

Lastly we would like to thank all the parents who came to watch, again your support is always hugely appreciated and lastly Mrs Price and Miss Nottley would like to say how proud we were of the children, once again they showed us how confident and co-operative they all were throughout the afternoon!

Charity School in a Bag

Tue 04 Nov 2014

We had a visit from the charity ‘School in a Bag’ on Wednesday. They are a local charity whose mission is to ensure that as many children in the world have access to education as possible. Every child has the right to an education as we have learnt this week in our rights week. As a school we will be doing some fundraising to support this fantastic charity. For every £15 we raise the children get to make up a rucksack filled with all the things a child needs to go to school and learn. Once we have packed our bags up we then find out which country our bags are going to and are given the number of the bags. When our bags reach their destination the children will be sent a photo of the children who have received their bag so they get to be a part of the whole process of improving someone’s education. We do hope you will support us in our fundraising for this great cause.

Apple Day on Tuesday

Tue 21 Oct 2014

We are very fortunate to have an author and artist in school on Tuesday. They are putting together a project called ‘Seasonal Schools’ and we are privileged to be part of their Apple Day Workshop.

Each class will spend some of the day enjoying the activities and we will come together at the end of the day for an Autumn Gathering.

We plan to go outside for part of the day so please could you ensure that your child has a raincoat. We also need ‘found’ apples to help us with our learning during the day. If you have any spare apples lying around please bring them into school next Monday and Tuesday.

On Saturday 18th October there will be fun apple activities taking place at Bridport Community Orchard from 11 – 3 pm (next to St Mary’s Church). Please go along to enjoy apple games, music and storytelling if you have any spare time and are looking for something to do.

Please can you ensure that ALL children have PE kits in school on a Thursday. We would also ask that all children have track suit bottoms in school for PE. We would ask that girls who come into school wearing tights have socks in their PE kits and that their hair is tied up. Many thanks.

First School Council Meeting

Sun 21 Sep 2014

On Friday we had our first school council meeting. We have decided that our Chair is Eden and the Vice Chair Joshua.

On Monday they will attend a meeting at St. Osmund's school with council representatives from all of the DASP schools. It is the 25th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and we would like to celebrate it. This is what we will be discussing at the meeting. Mrs Dalgleish will also come with us.

We also discussed how we could make our Fun on Fridays even more fun. We then fed back our discussions to the rest of the school in our assembly time.
