• Welcome to Year 2

  Fri 12 Sep 2025 Mrs Mutch

  We’ve had a fantastic start to the new school year in Year 2! The children have settled in beautifully and it’s been lovely to see them playing with friends and enjoying their time together.

  In Science, we’ve been exploring the fascinating world of animal homes. During our first week, the children took part in “Let’s Explore” activities, naming animal homes and thinking about what animal homes look like. This week, we took our learning outdoors to discover things that are alive, dead, or have never been alive—a brilliant way to spark curiosity and observation skills.

  In English, we’ve been diving into stories set in the home. One of our favourites has been The Gorilla by Anthony Browne. The children have written some lovely sentences inspired by the story.

  In Art, we’ve been experimenting with colour mixing and exploring tones by adding white to paint. The children created fantastic colour strips and used their paints with care and creativity. It’s been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they explore artistic techniques.

  We’re so proud of how well the children have started the year and can’t wait to see all the amazing learning and growth ahead!

  

• Year 3 - a lovely first full week!

  Fri 12 Sep 2025

  Year 3 have been amazing this week! What a busy and productive first full week we have had.

   

  In maths, we have been using base 10 and place value equipment to help us explore place value.

   

  In English, we have explored nouns, verbs and complex sentences using FANBOYS conjunction words and written a super fight scene between a Stone Age child and a bear.

   

  In PE, we have been doing gymnastics and creating sequences of contrasting movements including using shoulder stands.

   

  In art, we have looked at the work of the sculptor Barbara Hepworth and sketched her work in preparation for making our own clay sculptures.

   

  In science, we have been testing the properties of rocks and sorting and grouping them. 

   

  Phew! Well done to the children for their hard work :-) 

  

• Year 4 - New Topics Ahead

  Fri 12 Sep 2025

  This week, we started our hockey sessions outside. We learned how to hold a hockey stick correctly and use a push pass accurately. In Maths, we have been looking at place value through numbers up to 1000. Also, we have started reading our Reading Spine book - Beowulf - and studied this in our Reading sessions. This has helped us in English where we have been looking at using expanded noun phrases. 

   

  

• Year 6 - First Week Back!

  Thu 11 Sep 2025

  Welcome Year 6! We've had a great first week back. The children have been working super hard to get back into the swing of things. Here's a  picture from our History lesson of chronological events from the past! Well done, Year 6. 

  

• Year one - A tasty start to Year 1!

  Tue 09 Sep 2025 Mrs I

  A Tasty Start to Year 1!

  We’ve had a fantastic start to Year 1, and this week has been especially exciting. We enjoyed reading Mr Wolf’s Pancakes—a fun and slightly cheeky story about poor Mr Wolf, who wanted to make pancakes but didn’t get any help from his rather unfriendly neighbours.

  Despite their refusal, Mr Wolf didn’t give up. He managed to gather the ingredients, write the shopping list, and cook the pancakes all by himself. The children were very amused to discover that Mr Wolf eventually got his revenge… but we’ll let them tell you how!

  Inspired by the story, we had our own pancake-making fun in class. The children loved tasting their delicious pancakes topped with lemon and sugar—yum! It was a great way to bring the story to life and enjoy a shared treat together.

  We’re looking forward to many more exciting stories and activities this term!

  

• Year 2 Sports Day

  Fri 18 Jul 2025 Mrs Mutch

  What a busy week we have had this week! All of the children have enjoyed taking part in sports day. It was lovely to see them cheering each other on, whilst being watch by parents and family. They were all fantastic at persevering and trying their best. 

   

  In English this week the children have been writing their own alternative fairy tale. They have worked hard on planning, writing and presenting their stories. We hope you enjoy sharing them with your child when they bring them home next week.

   

  During nature reserve time the child enjoyed painting a watercolour and making a book mark using natural objects. They worked hard to make careful observations of the world around them.

   

  We hope you all have an enjoyable restful summer. 

  

• 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!
