  • Year One - DT Project 'A Chair for Baby Bear'

    Tue 17 Dec 2024 Mrs Ireland

    We have left our DT project for the end of term.

    We have had fun designing and making a chair for Baby Bear and the practise we have had joining tubes to a flat piece of paper has certainly paid off!

     

  • Year Two Production and Christmas Decorations

    Thu 12 Dec 2024 Mrs Mutch

    Wow what a fantastic performance! We are all very proud of how hard the children have worked to learn their lines, know their acting role, dancing and singing for our school Christmas play. We hope you enjoyed watching them perform and joining in with our last song. They are super singers and I'm sure you will be hearing the songs over and over again well into January! 

     

    Over the last few weeks, the children have also been working hard on designing and making their puppets. They are looking forward to finishing these off next week, adding the details to bring their puppets alive. 

     

    They have used their new sewing skills to create a pine cone gonk and Christmas pudding decoration to sell on our stall at Winter Fun Night. We hope you are able to come along and enjoy the festive event.

     

  • Year 5 and 6 Dorset County Finals

    Thu 12 Dec 2024

    Wow, what a whirlwind of a week! From winning 4 out of our 5 tournament matches, progressing to win the quarter final and then the semi final, Radipole's mixed team earnt a spot in the county finals! 

     

    Playing against the best of Dorset at Littledown, the team displayed remarkable sportsmanship: this was noted by officials, so they won a sportsmanship award! Each and every player should feel proud of themselves for everything they have achieved on their journey to the finals! 

  • Year 4

    Thu 12 Dec 2024

    With the run up to Christmas, the children have had the opportunity to see the Reception and KS1Christmas performances. They proved to be an excellent audience for them all. They will be performing their own production next term. 

    With the hall occupied, our indoor PE lesson took place in the music hut where they did some fitness exercises and did some cosmic yoga. This is something they can also do over the holidays when they need some calming time. 

    The children have now completed all of the Christmas gifts ready for the Winter Fun Night tomorrow!

    We hope to see you there bright and early to purchase these sensational Christmas Lights. We know they will be selling fast...Ho!Ho!HO! See you all there!

  • Year 5 - Nature Reserve

    Wed 11 Dec 2024

    Year 5 pupils had a terrific time in the nature reserve and thoroughly enjoyed the fresh air and crisp winter weather - especially after so much wind and rain recently!

     

    Approaching the end of a busy term, the children were ready to spend some well-earned time outside, playing imaginative games, building dens and exploring the woods.

     

    Congratulations to all the children who won the den-building competition!

  • Year 6 - DT

    Wed 11 Dec 2024

    We've had  a busy week in Year 6 designing, programming and developing our DT topic this half term - an electronic computing device which has been programmed by the children to flash red and blue to go with the police car design. Tricky work, but the children have been great!

  • Year 4

    Fri 06 Dec 2024

    Another busy week with lots of learning going on. In English, we have been learning about speech punctuation, and we have used our Class reader book to stimulate good dialogue. 

    We have continued out work in geography and ICT, where we have looked at the features of a mountain and re-created this using the Word program. 

    The children we so excited with one of the new maths games we introduced this week online. It is called Blooket, and it is a competition of speed and mathematical knowledge! Such fun!

    Our fortnightly visit to the Nature Reserve has had us sawing logs ready for a surprise gift. 

    Of course, with the Winter Fayre only a week away, the Year 4's have been like busy elves creating some fantastic products. We think they will be a sell-out, so get in quick to order your..... "Christmas lights!"

  • Year 3 - Persuasive adverts.

    Fri 06 Dec 2024

    This week, in our English sessions, we continued practising a range of persuasive writing skills to use in our adverts. We used imperative verbs, powerful adjectives and alliteration. Finally, we created a plan for our advert before presenting the finished product in our books.

  • Year 1 - Rehearsals

    Thu 05 Dec 2024 Mrs Ireland

    Over the past few weeks, Year one have consumed with play rehearsals.! We have danced, sung and learnt our lines!! Gosh we are so loud and all the children look so wonderful in their costumes.

    Well done year 1. We are all looking forward to performing to an audience next week.  

  • Year 6 - Music

    Thu 05 Dec 2024

    This half term, in Year 6,  we have been learning to sing the song 'You've got a friend in me', and we've learned how to play an instrumental part on the glockenspiels.
