• Year 3 - fabulous history day!

  Fri 24 Oct 2025

  Year 3 had a lovely Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age themed history day. The children had some amazing costumes and outfits! We enjoyed hearing lots of interesting information from our visitors from Weymouth Heritage Centre, and handling lots of artifacts and sources of information. We did some lovely practical activities outside in the nature reserve such as making a clay pot, making medicine from plants, and weaving.

   

  Thank you to our visitors for making the day memorable, and to the children for their great questions and enthusiasm. Have a wonderful half term, everyone :-) 

  

• Year 2 art this term

  Fri 24 Oct 2025 Mrs Ayles

  This term year 2 have been studying the artist Henri Rousseau. The children have taken time exploring colour mixing, adding white to make colours lighter as well as adding black to find darker shades. 

   

  After this exploration of colour, the children studied small snippets of Rousseau’s famous painting ‘Surprised’ and tried to recreate them themselves using their newly acquired colour mixing knowledge. 

   

  Finally, the children planned their own versions of the artists work, first sketching out designs in their sketchbooks and then recreating their plans into a final piece of art work on a larger scale. The art 

  lessons this term have been enjoyed by all, we are so very proud of the children’s achievements. Their landscape art work pieces look fabulous. Well done children! 

  

• KS2 Cross Country Succeess!

  Wow! What an event! 

   

  Every single runner, ran their socks off! Our motto was if you fall down, you pick yourself up and carry on. They were true to the saying and did not stop pushing their running to the limit. Every team medaled: Year 3 came second; Year 4 came 3rd; Year 5 came first; and Year 6 came first. What a great way to start the first cross country team event. Keep running.

  King George Visits Our School!

  Today, we had a surprise visit from King George—well, an actor playing him! He shared part of a story and told us about a book he's writing. We were asked to draw pictures for it!

  The book will be published and shared with all Weymouth schools and Dorset libraries.

• Year 3: Setting descriptions, nature reserve and gymnastics

  Fri 17 Oct 2025

  This week, year 3 started writing a setting description of Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker’s house from the book 'James and the Giant Peach'. We used pictures and a video to gather ideas first and then used prepositions and expanded noun phrases to put our writing together. We also really enjoyed our time in the nature reserve where we took part in a ‘colour-match’ scavenger hunt. This involved searching the nature reserve for objects which matched the coloured strips we had been given. We finished the week off with a gymnastics lesson using the full range of our larger equipment to develop our climbing, balancing and jumping skills.

  

• Year Two - A fantastic week of exploring science

  Fri 17 Oct 2025 Mrs Mutch

  What a brilliant week we’ve had in Year Two! The children have been buzzing with excitement after two fantastic learning experiences — a visit to the Life Education Tent and a wonderful day exploring Lorton Meadows.

  At the Life Education Tent, the children were excited to meet Harold the Giraffe and help him solve a tricky problem his friends were having. Through this, they learned about the importance of kindness and how to recognise bullying. Harold also introduced the children to his "Five to Stay Alive" — water, food, sleep, exercise, and air — and explained how each one helps us stay healthy and happy. The children listened beautifully and asked thoughtful questions, showing great curiosity and care.

  Later in the week, we ventured out to Lorton Meadows, where the children became real-life explorers! They investigated both woodland and pond habitats, discovering a variety of animals and insects along the way. From pond dipping to bug hunting, there was so much to see and do. One of the highlights was playing a food chain game, where some children managed to avoid being eaten by the duck — much to their delight!

  Back at school, the children used everything they had learned to create their own food chains, showing a fantastic understanding of how animals and plants are connected in nature.

  It’s been a week full of learning, laughter, and discovery — and we couldn’t be prouder of how engaged and enthusiastic the children have been.

  Well done, Year Two!

  

• Year One 'Things From The Past Exhibition'

  Thu 16 Oct 2025 Mrs I

  Our Year 1 classroom was buzzing with excitement as we hosted our "Things from the Past" exhibition! The children have been exploring everyday objects from long ago, and this special event gave them the chance to share their discoveries with family and friends.

  During the exhibition, the children enjoyed talking to their adults about the items on show. They asked questions, shared facts, and made connections between the past and present.

  We’re so proud of how engaged and thoughtful the children were throughout this topic.

  A big thank you to everyone who contributed items and joined us for this special event. It was a wonderful celebration of learning, curiosity, and history.
