Football National Tournament
Thu 05 Dec 2024Well done to our amazing Radipole Football teams who took part in a National Tournament at Redlands today. We played well in the first half of the day with the girls team winning 3 matches, drawing one and losing one. The girls played in the quarter finals but lost to St George's.
The boys team played equally well, winning two, losing two and drawing one match. Fantastic goals with great defense and assists, not forgetting the brilliant goal keeping meant they were also through to quarter finals. A win over Bincombe pushed them through to the semis. A win over Southill pushed them through to the finals! A loss to Bridport Primary meant they won a final second place.
Every single payer gave 100% effort and team spirit representing the school exceptionally, well done Radipole!
What a treat to have a team photo with the captain of the Weymouth Team as well!

Year 5/6 Hockey
Thu 05 Dec 2024Yesterday, 9 children from years 5 and 6 attended a brilliant hockey festival at Redlands run by Weymouth Hockey Club. We were split into groups with one child from each of the local schools attending which was a great opportunity to make new friends and play with people of all abilities. The morning was spent learning and practising skills such as passing, shooting, evading, defence, tackling and control using the hockey stick. After lunch, we stayed in our groups and played a round robin of matches against other groups. Radipole hockey players were fantastic! They used all the skills learnt in the morning to pass, play as teams and score many goals, well done everyone, you all represented Radipole brilliantly. Our thanks go to Weymouth Hockey Festival for organising a fantastic day and all sports leaders who gave our pupils such a great day.

Reception - Shapes
Mon 02 Dec 2024Reception have been looking at different shapes this week. They have been exploring which shapes have 4 sides and which shapes have less than 4 sides.
They also had a go at making pictures out of shapes and we went on a shape hunt in the playground trying to find circles, triangles, rectangles and squares. We also experimented with drawing around shapes on the playground and drawing some shapes of our own.
Great shape work Reception!

Year 3 - Persuasive Writing, Whittling Wrap-Up, and "Revoltin'"!
Fri 29 Nov 2024This week, we began exploring persuasive writing in English, tying it in with our DT work on packaging. The children examined advertisements and identified key persuasive techniques such as alliteration, catchy slogans, rhetorical questions, and emotive language. They enjoyed spotting these features and discussing how they convince people to buy products, using this knowledge to start planning their own persuasive writing pieces.
In Maths, we continued with multiplication and division, focusing on the 3 times tables. The children worked on problem-solving tasks and began spotting patterns in their multiplication facts, showing great progress.
In the Nature Reserve, we completed our final groups for whittling, with everyone learning how to feather wood. Now that this activity is complete, we’re preparing to start something exciting in the coming months – though it’s a surprise for now!
In PE, the children continued developing their Tag Rugby skills, practising passing and teamwork in mini-games. For Dance, we’ve been working on routines inspired by Matilda the Musical. This week, the children performed to "Revolting Children" with energy, enthusiasm, and plenty of character!

While some found the pop pass challenging, they persevered and cheered each other on. It was lovely to see the support among teammates.
Well done Year 5!
