• Year 2 - Visitors

  Thu 10 Nov 2022 FProbert

  Thursday was a simply wonderful day for Year 2 with many different visitors.

  Our first visitor came during our KS1 singing assembly. The children were pleasantly surprised with a visit from Pudsey Bear. He came in to remind the children about all the good work that the Children In Need charities are able to do because of everyone raising money.  Next Friday is the official day for Children in Need, and we are celebrating it in school by having a non-uniform day.

  Our second visitor was our Coach Emily who came in to teach more multi-skills. This week the children worked on rolling different balls. They enjoyed the tails warm-up game. The children were really great Collabadons when they played the gate game too.

  Our third visitors on Thursday was Reverend Nick and Laura. They came in to share some stories with the Year 2 children. Check out our story sequencing photo.

  What an exciting week! Ps…the children are also secretly learning songs for the Christmas show, and now have lines to learn too. We will share our show with parents on Friday 9 December at 2:30pm.

• Pudsey Visit

  Thu 10 Nov 2022

  KS1 and year 3s were surprised in assembly when Pudsey Bear popped in to Radipole. Pudsey and the team talked to the children about the importance of Children in Need.  They learnt about the charity's aims and even got a chance to ask Pudsey some questions. 

   

  Year 4, 5 and 6 also got a surprise when Pudsey visited their classes to say a quick hello and remind them to wear something spotty next Friday (18th November)! 

   

  Radipole would like to say a HUGE thank you to Lucy, Helen and Esther from Weymouth Manor - Chanctonbury Health care for arranging the visit.

• Year 2 - Did somebody say Christmas?

  Fri 04 Nov 2022 FProber

   

  This week we have started to learn some Christmas songs ready for our next church visit. We have also been learning a Christmas song as part of our Music curriculum – the children have even learned how to rap!

  The children are excited about their new DT project on ‘Puppets’. They have looked at lots of different ones, and learned that the one that uses strings is called a marionette.

   Their English writing has been linked to their  Geography topic and they have started to use some expanded noun phrase to help describe the scenes.

  Year 2 are fortunate to have started their coaching sessions in their outdoor PE where they are learning a range of multi -skills to help them improve their sporting skills.

  This may only be the second half of term, but we are really looking forward to the weeks ahead!

  

• Year 3 - internet safety

  Fri 04 Nov 2022

  Year 3 have been discussing all the things we enjoy about the internet, and how to stay safe on the internet.

   

  We have looked at what passwords are, why they are important and how to create a strong password.

   

  We created a class blog to record all of our ideas. Well done to the children for their great contributions 👍

  

• Year 4 - Lacrosse Coach

  Fri 04 Nov 2022

  Year 4 are really fortunate to have a coach for lacrosse this half term. They had their first session with the coach today where the children were learning how to pick up the ball with the lacrosse sticks. They were doing a great job!

  We are so pleased to be involved in the Coop Food Share.

   

  Mrs Turnbull does a fantastic job in sharing the food with the Radipole community. Not only does it avoid unnecessary waste, it is also a huge help to so many who struggle financially.

• Year 1 - Traditional Tales

  Thu 03 Nov 2022 Mrs Ireland

  We have started looking at some Traditional Tales. Goldilocks was our first story. We have re-told the tale and written some sentences about the events in the story. We have worked to include capital letters and full stops in our writing.

  We have also learnt this week how to add -er and -est to words to compare. eg strong, stronger, strongest. 

   

  Do you have any Traditional Tales at home?

  What are the characters names?

  Which is your favourite story?

  How do the stories often start and end?
