Year 3 - New Barn day 2
Wed 10 Jul 2024Day 2's weather was definitely on our side! We managed a lovely local walk admiring all the views of nearby towns with a chance to feed some of New Barn's friends (Penny the Pig, Kilimanjaro and Everest the goats).
We also travelled back in time to Stone Age times. We made our own butter, flour and medicine!
We are incredibly proud of how well the children did and we look forward to the final week of term. Well done Year 3!

Year 3 - New Barn
Tue 09 Jul 2024We have safely made it to New Barn and are only slightly damp from the pouring rain. This didn't ruin our fun, and we have still had a jam-packed day.
We have done some orienteering -practising our map skills. We have also made some brilliant (and slightly necessary) shelters. We had a delicious dinner and are currently listening to an enthusiastic story teller with a tale linked to our Roman topic. Wish us all luck for some sleep this evening!

Year 2 - Love Where You Live Week
Fri 28 Jun 2024What an exciting and busy week we have had! The week began with a lovely day making and investigating foil boats and painting a picture of Weymouth. The children were excited to be exploring different activities for the week.
The highlight was our trip to Lyme Regis. The children were exceptionally well behaved and polite to other people around Lyme Regis. They should feel proud of how they represented the school. The children enjoyed seeing places of significance to Mary Anning and particularly liked seeing her beautiful statue. The children completed some geography fieldwork and were able to see the impact of the eroding Victorian tip on the beach. The were facinated by the different fossils that could be found on the beach and all came home with something they had found. We had a glorious day for it and were all exhausted but had a fantastic day.
During the rest of Love Where You Live Week the children made a clay fossil, wrote about their trip, worked together gardening in the allotment and went pond dipping. They were very excited to find newts and a bright yellow toad.

Year 4 Love Where You Live Week
Fri 28 Jun 2024What a brilliant week!
The Year 4 children have walked the length and breadth of Weymouth to discover why we, and our visiting tourists, love Weymouth so much!
On Monday, the children were introduced to the infamous Dorset Knob biscuits. They then went to make their own - which were apparently rather delicious!
On Tuesday (4P) and Wednesday (4B), the children had the chance to go on board the RNLI lifeboat in the harbour. What an opportunity! The children and adults were so amazed by how big it was on board, what they carried on the boat and the 'trillion' fascinating facts that were shared by the RNLI volunteers. The chidlren were able to access all of the areas on the boat, which was simply sensational.
The rest of the day the children did a harbour and people survey, to find out what makes Weymouth such a sought after place. The children were excellent interviewers, displaying impeccable manners. The school was delighted to have received an email sent by the general public expressing what beautiful manners the children had. WOW! The harbour survey looked at the different boats that came into harbour and where they had come from.
On Thursday, the whole of Year 4 went on the history trail that has been set up n Weymouth. The children had to locate the places on the map, follow the direction, and finally, answer the quiz questions based on the historical paving slab found. With a delightful walk along the sea font and up through Lodmoor Park, we all agreed that we truly do Love Where We Live!
