• Year 4- Anglo-Saxon Day

  Fri 21 Oct 2022

  This Monday, year 4 enjoyed a themed Anglo-Saxon day. We dressed in historical clothing and participated in a range of exciting activities organised by our visiting historian, Harold. We practised writing in runes, played traditional games, took part in an Anglo-Saxon legal trial and learnt how to use different types of weapons and shields.

  

• Year One - ICT Purple Mash

  Fri 21 Oct 2022 Mrs Ireland

  This term we have tried to get more familiar with  'Purple Mash'. 

  We have learnt how to log on and change our own avatars. Searching for things has been fun, and we have explored staying safe on the internet. We have had a great time using the drawing tools and trying to save our own work. 

  

• Reception - Small den building for hedgehogs, mice and rabbits in the Nature Reserve.

  Fri 21 Oct 2022

  Another visit to the Nature Reserve to build dens for small woodland creatures that may be cold at night.

   

  The children were Colabadons and Careadactyls this afternoon.

   

  it had been raining so it was muddy and sticky! We loved it.

• The Radipole Way

  Fri 21 Oct 2022

  Well done to all the children who received certificates in assembly today for showing The Radipole Way.

   

  Not only did we have all our learning dinosaur certificates to hand out, we also had 37 certificates for all those children who took part in the Summer Reading Challenge (run by Dorset Libraries).

   

  We also our very first Key Stage 2 Word Millionaire certificate (a child who has read over a million words this half term). Keep those quizzes on Accelerated Reader going, and hopefully we will have lots more Word Millionaires.

  

• Radipole Reading Worm

  Fri 21 Oct 2022

  Introducing the Radipole Reading Book Worm

  Radipole Reading Worm will spend the week with the class who have the most number of children who read five or more times a week and record it on Boom Reader.

   

  This week - he is with 2MH

   

  Well done 2MH for all your home reading!

  

• Year 2 - Re-count the recounts!

  Fri 21 Oct 2022

  Recount the recounts!

  Year 2 have been super-busy in English over the past few weeks learning all about recounts. They have written three recounts: one about their trip to St Aldhelm’s Church, one about their trip to Kingston Maurward, and their final one was about The Caterpillar’s Shoes. They have been learning all about time adverbs and sequencing events in chronological order. We are so proud of their amazing writing.

   

  We have come to the end of our Science topic on Habitats and our Art topic about Henry Rousseau. The children have had lots of fun with both topics and have produced some super work.

   

  Congratulations to 2MH who are the first class to have won the Radipole Bookworm Trophy. They won the trophy for having 85% of their class reading the expected five weekly reads. We are so very proud of all the children who have helped 2MH to achieve this award.

   

  Next half term, we are starting our DT project on puppets. This will involve some sewing, so any practise that they can do at home will be truly beneficial. Look out for the helpful hints letter that will be coming your way shortly.

  

• Year 5 - Nature Reserve

  Thu 20 Oct 2022

  Year 5 pupils had a wonderful time in the nature reserve and thoroughly enjoyed the fresh air and autumn sunshine. After another successful week of learning, the children were ready to spend some well-earned time outside, playing imaginative games, building dens and exploring the woods. It was lovely to see all the children getting on so well together and making the most of our wonderful outside space.

  

• Year 6 Nature Reserve

  Wed 19 Oct 2022

  On Friday, Year 6 went into the nature reserve to create 2D shapes. Some groups even managed to make 3D shapes using items found in the nature reserve as well as plasticine! 

  

• Year 1 Rain guage

  Fri 14 Oct 2022 K Ayles

  Over the last few weeks we have been learning about the weather. We have had fun being a weather forcaster and this week made our own rain gauges. We are keeping a record of the weather each day and we have drawn symbols to represent the different kinds of weather.

   

  

• Year 4- Torches

  Thu 13 Oct 2022

  This week, we worked hard in our design technology lessons to build a working torch for a specific client (anyone from a gardener, to  a rock-climber, to a spy). First we drew a design, then we built our circuit and finally we produced a torch case made from different materials.
