Noticeboard

Abbey class enjoyed a trip down to Portland Sailing Academy today where they had taster sessions on Paddle boarding and Wind surfing, everyone had a fabulous time trying out new sports and working as a team. One little mishap was losing William M shoe in the water which Mr M will not live down!!

Thank you to Mrs Loco for helping us and joining in.

we were proud of all the children who showed our 7 C's throughout the day.

Every one was so excited as they arrived at School today in anticipation of our whole school trip to Moor's Valley Go Ape. We set off all together in our double decker bus and arrived just in time for our first set of adventurers to head off to Go Ape. Everyone was Confident, Communicative and Courteous as they made their way around the course and some even braved the zip wires. We also had a chance to go in the park and walked along the play trail as well so it truly was a fun filled day. A lot of fears were conquered today from children AND staff and we were all so very proud of each and every one, this was a fantastic day and we have heard lots of great stories from their children of their day.

We would like to thank all the parents and helpers for all they did on this trip, we couldn't have done it without you!

Year 2 were fantastic at forest school this Monday! The theme for our three sessions is 'Marvellous Minibeasts!' The children went exploring for bugs in our forest site and used magnifying glasses to look closely at the creatures they found. The children were delighted to find lots of woodlice with tiny babies! Some children chose to draw pictures of the bugs they found, others chose to make new homes for the mini beasts. We also played a bug game as a group to remember how to be safe around the fire circle. It was a fun first session where we all learnt lots, including Mrs Cain! 

Mrs Cain

On Friday, Molly, William and I headed off to London on a coach of school councilors and staff from DASP to go to the Houses of Parliament to meet with Oliver Letwin, our local MP. We wanted him to know how passionate we are that ALL children around the world deserve a safe education and we want him to share this message with his colleagues in parliament. We hope that then our country will support others to ensure that children can have a safe education all around the world. Molly asked Oliver Letwin what he thinks we should be doing to help Syrian refugees to have a safe education. She told him what she would do and they were very similar in their thoughts! William and Molly got to enjoy a tour of the Houses of Parliament during their visit. They even got to go into the House of Lords and the House of Commons! It was a very long day of travelling but I think they would agree it was totally worth it! Mrs Cain was very proud of both of them for supporting this very special campaign and being all of our 7 Cs throughout the whole day - which was 13 hours long! 

Year 4 Forest School 

We had a great session in the forest together learning all about how Anglo-Saxons lived. The children chose a variety of activities to help them learn what life would have been like as an Anglo-Saxon. They went hunting for food, they made crafts from wool, they learnt to juggle, built fences from wood and they explored the forest and found some fabulous creatures! It was a great session, we hope to have some more by the end of the year - fingers crossed!
