Fri 28 Jun 2024The Nature Club have had a fun few weeks! We measured, marked, sawed and hammered together our fabulous bird boxes - these are designed for robins and we look forward to putting them in the nature reserve shortly.
We also enjoyed some pond dipping and were astonished by the number of newts in the school pond!
MASSIVE thanks as always to Mrs Dilkes and Dr Nige for all their help and support.
Well done, everyone :-)

Year 1 - Our walk along the Esplanade
Thu 27 Jun 2024We had a lovely but hot walk along the Esplanade on Wednesday. We looked at some of the buildings and tried to find our surname on the war memorial. The children had a shady stop for a drink and quick snack.
After some fantastic attempts at drawing the Jubilee Clock, we walked on to see King George's bathing machine and his statue.
It was a lovely morning out!
We would like to thank all parents and grandparents who volunteered to support us!

Year 6 - Transition
Mon 24 Jun 2024On Tuesday, Year 6 were fortunate to have members of the MHST come in to visit. We all spoke about the feelings we are experiencing about the change coming up, we know other people are experiencing the same feelings and it is ok to feel a mixture of feelings at once.

Year 4 - Making the most of the sunshine
Fri 21 Jun 2024This has felt like one very busy week! The children have worked brilliantly in Maths - with their new topic on Shape. In English, the children have learned about the perilous feat that Philippe Petit performed in 1974 as part of their recount writing. Mrs Smith has been tremendously impressed with the knowledge and application in French this week - they truly are amazing.
The spelling lesson took the children outside to write the new spelling words using chalk and then water and brush (they had to be quick!)
Friday is always a fabulous day for the children are outside swimming. In addition to the usual Friday, many children went off to perform new roles today as they took over teaching roles, care-taking roles, head teaching role and librarians! Wonder if any of them will take on these roles later in life?

Year 2 - Run The School Day
Fri 21 Jun 2024This week the children have enjoyed watching the Geography fieldwork films from Oddizzi about the Jurassic Coast. Some of our children were involved in the filming of this during February half term. The children were all excited to see their friends being interviewed and we were very proud of how well they represented our school. The children made notes in a Geojotter when following the KS1 film and enjoyed spotting places that were familiar to them.
On Friday we enjoyed being part of Children Run The School Day. We had lots KS2 pupils who had applied to be either teachers or teaching assistants for the day. The children enjoyed taking part in the lessons taught by the pupils which included a PE lesson, a lesson making chatterboxes and a history lesson about the Kings and Queens of England. Year Two where fantastic, listening carefully and following the instructions, well done.
