• Year 1 - Love Where you Live Week

  Thu 06 Jul 2023 Mrs Ireland

  Year 1 have been busy this week. We have been learning about where we live and the creatures that live in the sea as part of our 'Love where we Live Week'.

  We have found out about the attractions in Weymouth, walked along the Esplanade and looked at King George III bathing machine. We carefully did a sketch of Brunswick Terrace and the Jubilee Clock. We are still busy creating are own Esplanade pictures using a variety of media.

  We have also learnt facts about jellyfish and written our own little books about them. Having a dance teacher in on Monday was one of the highlights of the week. She taught the children a dance and they pretended they were under the sea. 

  

• Love Where You Live - Year 5

  Thu 06 Jul 2023

  The children in Year 5 have had a wonderful time during ‘Love Where You Live Week’, exploring our local area and finding out what makes it a unique and interesting place in which to grow up.

   

  On a gusty day at the Andrew Simpson Sailing Academy, the children took to the choppy seas and did a great job in difficult conditions. Even the occasional capsize didn’t dent the children’s confidence and enthusiasm.

   

  On Tuesday, the children had the chance to explore the Nothe Fort before it opened to the public. We learnt about the history of this unique local landmark and explored the labyrinthine tunnels below the surface. The children conducted themselves brilliantly on the walk home from school, even when the heavens opened. They really did themselves and Radipole proud.

   

  In class, we have explored the Jurassic Coast in geography and tried our hand at watercolour painting in an art lesson.

• Year 2

  Another fun-filled week in Year 2. Tuesday afternoon, we were lucky to have Mrs Tapscott in to teach the children an African Dance. It was so much fun, so much laughter and creative movements.

  Of course, the highlight of the week was the Sports Day on Wednesday. Congratulations to the Year 2 children who really entered into the spirit of the sports, and a great big shout-out to the parents who came to watch. Well done to the parents who had-a-go too! Your children were proud of you too!

  ICT has been amazing for the children are using the 2Paint a Picture on purple Mash to create pictures and patterns.

   

  

• Reception Sports Day 2023

  Thu 29 Jun 2023

  On Wednesday Reception took to the field to take part in our wonderful Sports Day. I’m sure the parents will agree that the children were true sportspersons by enjoying every moment and trying their best. There was the biggest number of parents and Grandparents entering the adult races and we saw the toddlers join in at the end.

  It was a wonderful morning- thank you to everyone who supported it.

• Reception Writing- Sharing a Shell

  We were so thrilled with the writing in Reception, we just had to post it. 

  The children had to listen carefully before writing a dictated sentence, and then some of their own. Well done everyone.
