• Year 5 - Geography Day

  Thu 13 Jul 2023

  Year 5 Geography Day was an enjoyable and knowledgeable experience. Students explored geographical features and engaged in interactive map activities. They learned about different cultures, climate patterns, and landforms, broadening their understanding of the world. It was a day of discovery, fun, and valuable geographical insights.

  

• We love where we live by Reception

  Thu 13 Jul 2023

  We loved we love where we live week. We made sandcastles, designed new theme parks and thought about what we love about Weymouth and what we would do to make it even better. We looked at photographs of Weymouth now and compared them to photographs of when our Great Grandparents were children in the past living in Weymouth.

  We designed town bridges, harbours and experimented with floating and sinking. We made sea gulls and created lots of lovely art work all celebrating where we live. 

  

• Maths in Year One

  Thu 13 Jul 2023 Mrs Ayles

  In Maths this week we have been making different numbers using Base 10 equipment. We used towers of tens and individual ones to represent a number. After, we used the Base 10 equipment to show one less and one more than the number we had made. The children showed really good understanding and enjoyed using the equipment practically. We then worked in our White Rose booklets and finished with a game of bingo- one more and one less style! The children really enjoyed it. Perhaps have a go at Bingo at home yourself!

• Year 3 - New Barn

  Wed 12 Jul 2023

  The children are all having a great time at New Barn Field Centre and had a good night.

   

  They have enjoyed the food (especially the big breakfast). The activities have been a real hit. The camp fire stories were brilliant and the shelter building and nature walk have been super too.

• Year 2 - Love Where You Live

  Fri 07 Jul 2023 FProbert

  Love Where You Live Week has been wonderful. Year 2 took the road less looked at this week. We always think of Weymouth and its fabulous beach, but as the children discovered , the beautiful countryside is also stunning. 

  We took walks to Two Mile Coppice, Tumbledown Farm and a little stroll to the front gates to complete our Maths traffic survey. 

  Please ask a Year 2 child about the beach at Radipole! We will give sticker out to anyone who has asked that question!

  We also wrote some super postcards in the style of those crayons! You know which ones, right?

• 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.
