Happy, kind and brave.
Together we learn, together we grow, together we soar.
Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Yet another busy and jam-packed week for Year 4.
The children have been very busy preparing for their upcoming play- 'Let Loose', with lots of singing and acting preparations taking place.
They have been busy building their collage art skills in preparation for creating their own Maria Rivans art piece.
Fun- Friday was even more fun today with lots of jokes for Comic Relief.
The children are continuing to develop their skills in their basketball lessons too.
This week has been another busy week. During PE we were very lucky to have a visitor who introduced us to African dance. We will be doing this again next week too.
In our science and DT, we have been looking at food groups and talking about how much of each type of food will help to keep our bodies healthy.
During English, we have been listening to Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling. We have also looked at similar African animal, watch Tinga Tales and retold one of the Anansi the Spider stories. We worked really well in our groups.
Over the past couple of weeks we have been looking at instructions. We have used instructions to help us decorate biscuits, which we all agreed were delicious!
This week, we have read instructions about how to cross the road safely. We asked Derek the Lollypop Man to help us. He talked us through how to use a pelican crossing and how to find a safe place to cross.
What a fantastic week Year Two have had during World Book Week. The highlight was definitely listening to all the children recite their poems. They did amazingly and should feel very proud of themselves. The spoon characters they made were brilliant! They were all so creative and must have taken a long time to make; well done all who took part. The children have also had a great time creating their own bunting of their favourite book, designing their own character or book cover and have continued to make their Kenyan information book on the computer. many children also looked forward to joining their parents in the reading cafe.
What a wonderful Book Week it has been. Many year 4 children happily exchanged books at the Book Swap, on Monday. We still managed to get our fortnightly visit to the Nature Reserve in, where the children created - time! Throughout the week, they have enjoyed the lunch time story-tellers, and created some wonderful bunting for the reading cafe that took place this afternoon.
On Wednesday, the Book Inspired Wooden Spoon Competition was won by Livvi in 4P for her portrayal of the BFG.
The highlight of any Book Week is the dressing up World Book Day. The year 4 children looked amazing, and we were so impressed with how many recited their poems to the class. Ava and Lidia performed their poems in the whole school assembly, and they were brilliant!
Sadly Friday has brought our Book Week to end, but that is not the end of our reading. We are very happy that so many children consistently complete the weekly 5 reads for homework. Reading really is the key to all of their learning. Keep up the great work Year 4. We hope you have now managed to buy a book with your World Book Day voucher.
On Wednesday, a group of Year 3/4 girls took part in the #LETGIRLSPLAY football activity day at Budmouth school.
The girls spent the morning learning many fun skills to help them play better football. Women from the Weymouth Football Team worked alongside the Budmouth students who helped with the skills-building activities. After an early lunch, the girls then took part in a fun football tournament against the other visiting schools. The glorious weather also helped to make the day even more enjoyable.
Well done girls!
What an amazing effort the children in Year One made in learning a poem or nursery rhyme. We had a fun day and during the week we have shared a book with Year 3 and made some great bunting to decorate the hall ready for our reading cafe on Friday.
Well done to Louie in 1I for being the winner of the decorated wooden spoon.
As part of this term's science topic on forces, the children in Year 5 investigated the effect of shape on water resistance.
The children created different shapes in plasticine (a ball, a pancake and a sausage) and dropped them into cylinders of water, observing how they travelled to the bottom.
They all did a fantastic job, impressing us with their scientific knowledge.
This week, year 3 enjoyed a whole range of activities and events as part of our Radipole Primary Book Week. We listened to stories read by teachers in the playground, shared a book with a year 1 child and decorated a wooden spoon as a favourite book character. On Thursday, we all came to school dressed as a poem and performed our chosen poems to the class. The very best went on to represent our year groups in an exciting whole school assembly.
FINALLY we had a sunny Wednesday afternoon. This meant we could actually go outside with Emily and Joe and enjoy a wonderful session of basketball. We practised the skills we had been learning inside and used them within a basketball style game.
