• Year 2 Creative kids!

  Fri 30 Sep 2022 FProbert

  What a super week we have had! The children have been so amazing writing their own stories based on the books Not Now Bernard and The Gorilla. They had to use the past tense to tell their story. Here are a few examples.

  The children have also started to follow musical notation in our Music lessons, using the new boom-whackers, hand bells and hand chimes.

  The creativity has also flowed into their art work. Today, the children have designed their own landscape pictures in the style of Henri Rousseau. They also learned how to colour-wash paper in preparation for their landscape paintings next week.

  It looks like it maybe a wet weekend, so get out your pencils and paints and continue being creative!

  

• Year 3 Stone Age Day

  Fri 30 Sep 2022

  Year 3 had a super day in the nature reserve recreating life in the Stone Age! They lit fires (and toasted marshmallows), made weapons, did some weaving and some lovely nature art. We enjoyed some hot chocolate and a biscuit to end the day around the campfire. Well done to the children for getting involved so well.

   

  In maths, we have just finished our first unit which was Place Value. There is a free parent booklet linked to this unit on the website of White Rose (the maths scheme we use) if you would like to have a look at the type of questions we did and the style and level of difficulty involved. You can print these for children to do at home if you would like to.

• Year 1 - Rhyming words

  Thu 29 Sep 2022 Mrs Ireland

  We have read lots more books by the author Julia Donaldson and the children have become familiar with many of her characters. This week, we have read 'Room on a Broom', spotted rhyming words and played a rhyming quiz.

   

  The children have matched rhyming pictures and thought of their own rhyming words and written them down. The children had some fantastic suggestions and loved thinking of their own words that rhyme.

  

• Year 5 - WOEC

  Thu 29 Sep 2022

  This week, 5T visited Weymouth Outdoor Education Centre (WOEC) for a fun-filled day of kayaking, climbing and tunnelling. The intrepid adventurers sported super smiles all day, and they all worked together sensibly and collaboratively.

   

  The children impressed everyone with their positive attitude and sense of adventure; they were a credit to themselves and the school.

   

  Radipole is very proud of them.

   

  

• Year 6 Action Scene

  Thu 29 Sep 2022

  We launched the week with a visitor from Neighbour Plan, who spoke to the children about their aspirations and their aspirations for their community. 

   

  During our English lessons this week, Year 6 have been using a variety of sentence types to create a description of a World War Two action scene based on a variety of pictures. 

  

• Year 3 PE, music and maths!

  Wed 28 Sep 2022

  Year 3 have been busy again this week - children have enjoyed having a football coach for PE, have played music instruments carefully using the correct notes, have learnt about the sculptor Barbara Hepworth, and have done some super place value work in maths. Well done for your hard work 🤩 👍

  It's always good to chat to your children about how to stay safe online. National Online Safety have some great advice.

  

• Year 1 Julia Donaldson

  Fri 23 Sep 2022

  As you know we have been reading a range of Julia Donaldson books. This week we have read The Gruffalo and the children have enjoyed retelling the story and hot seating ‘The Gruffalo’.

   

  This afternoon we had fun creating our own Stickman in the nature reserve. The children worked successfully together to join two sticks with a pipe cleaner.
