• Year 5 - Swimming Gala

  Thu 17 Jul 2025

  5R and 5T came together for a fantastic morning of swimming fun at our Year 5 Gala! The children took part in a variety of exciting races and pool-based activities, showing great enthusiasm and team spirit. It was wonderful to see everyone cheering each other on and celebrating each other's efforts. Whether swimming fast or trying something new, every child gave it their best and had a brilliant time. A big well done to all our swimmers for making it such a memorable event!

  

• Year One - Our Esplanade Trip

  Thu 10 Jul 2025 Mrs I

  This week we went on a trip down to the Esplanade.
  It was a lovely day, and the sea looked really inviting.

  We looked at a map and followed the Esplanade. We stopped at Greenhill Gardens and made a wish in the wishing well. Next, we drew a hotel on Brunswick Terrace.

  After that, it was definitely snack and drink time! We wandered on and saw the Jubilee Clock, and we talked about the bathing machine and King George’s statue.

  We had a lovely day out — but honestly, the best bit was catching the coach home!

  

• Year 3 Residential Day 1

  Tue 08 Jul 2025

  The children have had a fantastic first day so far. After an exciting and short coach trip, the children got straight into some activities. 

   

  They amazed us with their orienteering skills, and it was a great for them to get to know the site and work on their map skills.

   

  They also had the opportunity to explore a variety of historical sources from stone age to the Roman age. It was great to see them learning about history in such a hands-on way. 

   

  Dinner has gone down well with lots of clean plates and a very yummy pudding was enjoyed by all. 

   

  We are looking forward to stories, a campfire tonight, a good night's sleep and another busy day tomorrow. 

  

• Year 5 - Local Area Litter Pick

  Mon 07 Jul 2025

  As part of our school’s Love Where You Live Week, Year 5 pupils took to the streets of Weymouth to help keep our local area clean and beautiful. Armed with litter pickers, gloves, and big smiles, the children collected rubbish from parks, pavements, and green spaces. Their hard work made a real difference and reminded everyone how important it is to care for our environment. The pupils showed great teamwork and pride in their community. Well done, Year 5 – you’ve helped make Weymouth a cleaner, greener place for everyone!

  

• Year One - Under the sea Dance

  Thu 03 Jul 2025 Mrs I

  On Monday and Tuesday, the children were treated to a special visit from Carly, a professional dance teacher. With music, movement, and a whole lot of imagination, they all created a sea-themed dance.

  Scarves became swishy seaweed, jellyfish floated through the air, and they all transformed into underwater creatures. It was a joy to watch their creativity come to life—and the smiles said it all!

  A big thank you to Carly. We can’t wait to dance again soon!

  

• Year Two - Love Where You Live Week

  Wed 02 Jul 2025 Mrs Mutch

  What an incredible week we’ve had celebrating our beautiful local area during Love Where You Live Week! From painting to exciting adventures, every day was packed with fun and learning.

  We began by painting the stunning Weymouth seafront, looking at the colourful Georgian houses. Our creativity continued as we made the Jubilee clock out of clay, then carefully painted them. We loved watching the traditional Punch and Judy show, which had us all laughing and cheering!

  In science, we explored floating with a foil boat-making experiment. The winning design impressed everyone by holding an amazing 119 cubes!

  Tuesday took us on a fantastic trip to Tumbledown Farm. We discovered the plants and creatures that call it home and learned about their environment. We also delved into the Geography and History of Weymouth, uncovering fascinating facts—did you know the harbour once stretched all the way to Radipole, where there used to be a sandy beach?

  We’ve learned so much about where we live and had a brilliant time doing it. We truly do love where we live!

  

• Year 3 - Disco Time!

  Fri 27 Jun 2025

  This week, year 3 continued listening to disco music in our music sessions. So far, we have discussed the features and instruments used in disco music and have listened to songs by Chaka Khan and Sister Sledge. We have even been learning our own disco song called ‘Bringing Us Together’ and have been accompanying a funky backing track with glockenspiels. Altogether now – “D-I-S-C-O!”

  

• Year 4 - Visiting Local Artist

  Fri 27 Jun 2025

  Radipole and Year 4 were lucky to welcome back our local artist Mike Jeffries. 

  Both class were given a tutorial on how to paint a landscape using watercolours. Mike brought in his original painting, and then guided the children step-by-step, to re-create the picture of Studland. The results were AMAZING!

  Watch out for our exhibition!

  

• Year 2 - Trip To Lyme Regis

  Fri 27 Jun 2025 Mrs Mutch

  Year Two had an exciting trip to Lyme Regis! We began our day with our guide who taught us about different fossils. After that, we headed to the beach for our very own fossil hunt—everyone was thrilled to find ancient treasures hidden in the rocks! In the afternoon, we went to the museum, Mary Anning statue and grave, where we discovered fascinating facts about Mary Anning and the incredible fossils found along the Jurassic Coast.  During the day, we carried out a rubbish survey, where we learnt about the Victorian tip which is falling into the sea due to erosion. It was a fantastic, educational, and unforgettable day and the children were all a credit to the school.

  

• Year 1 - Learning all about the weather

  Thu 26 Jun 2025 Mrs I

  Over the last few weeks, we’ve been learning how to observe and understand the weather. As part of our science topic, we’ve been using tools to measure temperature and wind speed. We even used an anemometer to help us see how fast the wind was blowing!

  Today, we explored wind direction. We discovered that wind can blow from different directions and that we can measure this using a weather vane. So, we made our own! It was fabulous fun, and testing them out on the playground was definitely the highlight of the day.

  We’ve really enjoyed becoming weather watchers and can’t wait to learn more!
