Everyone arrived at St. Mary’s Charminster First School for their annual Football Tournament where we were split into two groups where we each play the other teams, with the top two teams progressing to the semi-finals. We played some great football against Winterbourne Abbas, Damers “A”, Manor Park “A” and St Mary’s Charminster “B” scoring 12 goals between Toby, George and Rhys to top our group without losing a single game. We showed great team work, some wonderful defensive and goalkeeping displays along with some jinking solo runs. This guaranteed us top spot and a semi-final against Damers “B”. Again we showed how well we worked as a team and after a very tense opening 3 minutes we broke the deadlock with 2 quick goals and went on to win 3-1 comfortably.  Our final match was against Damers “A” but unfortunately we ran out of steam in this game and couldn’t repeat what we had done in our group game against them and lost 3-1. When the final whistle went and through our own personal disappointment all our children went to shake hands with the winners and congratulated them. Once again all our team showed what a credit to our school they are and we were all very proud of them. We would like to thank all parents who took their children and supported us that evening, couldn’t do it without this!

Week beginning 22^nd June will be a Global Arts week. We will be learning about artists from around the world and using their art to inspire our own art work. We will also have an artist in for two mornings to create a landscape of Cerne out of felt. For this we will need all reception and Trendle to bring in a hand towel  in a named plastic bag.

To pay for materials we also ask if each child brings in a donation of a pound to cover the cost. We would be very grateful if you could bring this in as soon as possible so that we may get the resources in time.

On the Wednesday, after picking the children up from school we invite you to walk down the school corridor and view our art instillation which will transport you to another continent.

Congratulations to everyone regarding the Mayfair on Saturday – an incredible £1772.78 was raised.

Massive thanks go to Katy Wall for organising this wonderful event (with help from Janine Ryan and many others).  Thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly through the day to make this such a successful fundraiser.  We so appreciate how hard everyone worked. 

We will let you know in due course what the money will be spent on to enhance your children’s education.  Over the last year FOCAS have funded learning captures in all classes and provided new books for home reading for the children.
