• Year 3 - Stone Age beasts

  Fri 29 Sep 2023

  This week we have travelled back in time to write all about the creatures that lived during the Stone Age times. We have used lots of adjectives to describe them…

  Let’s meet the beasts!

  

• Year 4 - The 4 H's

  Fri 29 Sep 2023 FProbert

  We have worked on the 4 H’s : Hockey, History and Happiness. In hockey, the have children continued to develop their skills with dribbling and passing the ball. They even had a go at trying to get the ball from their opponent. The children have worked hard with their History work on the Anglo-Saxons where they looked at village life and how each person had a role to play.

  We hope that the children are happy to come to school, and know that they love their Dojos. Completing their homework and showing that they are good Learning Dinosaurs both help them to achieve even great points and happiness. Having fun with the parachute games has both classes full of laughter.

  

• Year 1 - P.E.

  Fri 29 Sep 2023 Mrs Ireland

  We have been working hard in P.E. The children have had practice at rolling, throwing and catching a variety of balls. They have worked with a partner and tried to score points by hitting their partners' legs.

  In indoor P.E., we have been pirates exploring the ocean on our ship. We worked on our galloping, hopping and skipping and tried to hold a balance on one leg!

  

• Year 5 - WOEC

  Thu 28 Sep 2023

  This week, Year 5 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 - History

  Wed 27 Sep 2023

• Year 2 Clay Creatures

  Wed 27 Sep 2023

  Year 2 have been busy creating clay creatures in the nature reserve. They have then used their knowledge of habitats from science to find a perfect place for their creature to live. 

  

• Stick Fun !

  Fri 22 Sep 2023 Mrs Satherley

   Last week we collected sticks from the nature reserve and this week we used pipe cleaners and wobbly eyes to create our own Stick Man characters.

  This week we have been learning about capital letters and we know they are used when writing names of people and places.  We also use capital letters at the start of our sentences. In the nature reserve this week we used sticks and other natural objects to make capital letters. Go on a hunt for capital letters. Can you spot capital letters when you are out and about ?

  

• Funky Fingers in Reception

  Thu 21 Sep 2023 H Mullins

  This week we have been using our fingers to design and create. It is party week so we’ve made things that are party related. Paper chains, play dough cakes, sand cakes. We have also started our Funky Fingers sessions where we do finger strengthening activities to music! We didn’t forget our gross motor skills by running, hopping and skipping in the hall for PE. Phew, now we need a rest.

  

• Year 4 - Mama Mia musicians!

  Thu 21 Sep 2023

  In music, Year 4 have enjoyed learning a classic Abba song, Mama Mia, and playing along with glockenspiels using different notes, timing and rests. 

   

  In history, we have looked at the causes of the Anglo Saxon invasion and debated what we thought was the most important.

   

  In English, we have been writing a fight scene between Beowulf and Grendel using powerful and exciting verbs. We have been practising our handwriting and forming letter shapes, sizes and joins beautifully.

   

  Well done to the children for their hard work.
