• Year 5 - Everybody Writes Day

  Mon 27 Nov 2023

  A mysterious package was left by the front of the school today. The children wrote some wonderful ideas on what they think could've been in the package! We wrote some very different ideas... an alien that has come from space, an elf that is here to do house chores, and even possibly the Grinch with the build up to Christmas! Perhaps you can write some more stories at home about our mysterious parcel. Well done, Year 5. 

  

• Year 6 - Everybody Write

  Mon 27 Nov 2023

  Well, what an unusual day! Today, Royal Mail dropped a large parcel near the bike shed. We went out to explore and discovered some labels were only partly in tact and it was even making noises! With such an exciting start to the day, we had stop what we were going to do and let out imaginations run wild...  

  

• Year 5 - Netball

  Fri 24 Nov 2023

  Year 5 have been working on their Netball skills this half term, and what wonderful effort they have put in! We've been learning to dodge, defend, attack, shoot and follow the rules of Netball! The children have shown wonderful perseverance, determination and collaboration. We're super of proud of them! 

  

• Year 2 PE

  Fri 24 Nov 2023

  This week in PE we have been learning to skip. We had lots of Tryasaurus Rexes in the class even when their skipping ropes were getting into a muddle. Well done Year 2!

  

• Year 4 Trip to St. Aldhelm's Church

  Thu 23 Nov 2023

  On Thursday afternoon, the Year 4 children (along with our helping parents) walked to our local church to discover more about Christian symbols. 

   

  As part of our RE work this half term we have been studying the different Christian symbols, and especially those related to Christmas. 

  Reverend Nick shared lots of items and photos of the different symbols found in the church, and explained what they all meant. It was a very informative afternoon. 

   

  They also had an unexpected opportunity to have a sneaky peek at the Radipole Year 5 & 6 girls playing in the football tournament!

   

  We have enjoyed starting our lovely new class reading book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret - ask the children what they can remember so far and what they think might happen next!

   

  

• Year 5/6 Girls Football Tornament

  Thu 23 Nov 2023

  Well, what an afternoon! A mixture of Year 5 and 6 girls took part (and played their socks off) in a mini football tournament; however, the game length was not mini at 30 minutes each game! 

   

  The first game against Bridport ended in a 2-2 draw. Following a brief rest, Radipole went straight into another match against Blandford St Mary. Despite a valiant effort, Blandford won 6-3. 

   

  Well done girls. You should feel incredibly proud of yourselves! 

  

• Year One 3D Shape

  Wed 22 Nov 2023 Mrs Ayles

  This week in Maths we have been exploring 3D shape. The children have learnt the names for the most common 3D shapes such as sphere, cube, cylinder, cuboid, pyramid and cone. They then explored the shapes practically and created some beautiful 3D shape models. There were rockets, houses, butterflies, space ships and many more exciting things, well done children! 

  

• Children in Need

  Fri 17 Nov 2023

  We had a great day, all dressed up and raising money for Children In Need day today. Lots of spots and Pudsey ears. So far we have raised over £170 for Children in Need!

  

• Year 1 - Autumn Wreaths

  Fri 17 Nov 2023

  This term Year One have enjoyed finding out about the changing seasons and talking about the months of the year. This week the children used the leaves we found in the nature reserve to make beautiful autumn wreaths.  They used autumnal colours to decorate their wreaths and then they chose a selection of different shaped leaves to stick on to their wreaths.

  

• Year 6 - PSHE Visitor

  Fri 17 Nov 2023

  This week, Year 6 were fortunate to have a visit by Jane who works for SCARF. She led an action packed, fact filled session. The theme was decisions, which included health, mental health and friendships. We loved the 5 steps to mental health.
