• Year 5 and 6 Swimming Gala

  Fri 09 Jun 2023

  On Thursday 8^th June, some of the best Radipole Swimmers in years 5 and 6 took part in the Weymouth and Portland Schools’ Gala.  

   

  There was a great atmosphere and all the children were supportive of each other’s achievements – They all showed great traits of being brilliant ‘Collabadons’. 

   

  As the total points were added up, we found out that we had come second by just 13 points.  

   

  We had so many successes and everyone had a brilliant afternoon. 

  

• Year 5 - Rounders

  Thu 08 Jun 2023

  Throughout Year 5, we have been lucky enough to enjoy learning different sports with the council's PE coaches. This half term we're playing Rounders, last half term we enjoyed Cricket, and before that was Hockey! Thank you so much to our lovely coaches for teaching us new skills. Year 5 have thoroughly enjoyed every second and we have been proud of the children for learning new rules, applying their best attitudes and generally taking every sport in their stride! Some fantastic PE skills here - well done, Year 5. 

  

• Year 6 - Careers Day

  Thu 08 Jun 2023

  This week, Year 6 were visited by a range of professionals: graphic designers, members of the RNLI, NHS staff, locksmiths, bankers, solicitor to mention just a few! Every child had the opportunity to listen to information about the careers and ask questions. The question selection was awesome:

  Did you need to go to university?

  What is the favourite part of your job? 

  What is the average salary of someone in your profession? 

  Did you have a job before? 

  When did you realise this was the job for you?

  Every week the children are developing confidence, learning new swimming skills and becoming safer swimmers. 

  

• Year One - William Morris - Who was he?

  Tue 06 Jun 2023

  This half term the children will be studying the craftsman, William Morris. Today, we have looked at examples of his work. He printed birds and flowers on wallpaper, made stained glass windows and tapestries. He often used repeated patterns and we tried hard to spot them.

  The children had a go at drawing a feature from his wallpapers. 

  

• Year 3 - Wessex Water visitor

  Tue 06 Jun 2023

  Year 3 enjoyed a super visit from Wessex Water this week related to our geography rivers topic. We learnt about how important and precious clean water is, and how it is cleaned and treated.

   

  We did some experiments with pretend toilets to show how important it is not to flush wet wipes, tissues and nappies down the toilet as they cause blockages! Well done to the children for their great listening and super questions.

  

• Year 6 - Artist Study

  Fri 26 May 2023

  This term in Year 6, we have been looking at the work of David Hockney before creating a piece of digital art. After learning about artist, we created artists study in his style. Have a look at some... 

  

• Year One - Swimming

  Fri 26 May 2023 Mrs Ireland

  What a lovely day to go swimming! We all had great fun and enjoyed swimming this morning. 

  

• Year 2 - Watch this space!

  Fri 26 May 2023 FProbert

  Finally, the space has been filled!

  The D.T. Moving Vehicles models are finished and are moving to a home near you!

  The children have worked exceptionally hard as designers and producers! They chose their own client from a selection of clients. They then had to design their vehicle according to the brief set out.

   

  All of the Year 2 staff are so very proud of the children for they have worked tremendously hard with their writing in English. If you fancy listening to a bedtime story, ask them to tell you about Saint George and the Dragon. 

   

  We wish you all a very sunny half- term break. 

  

• Year 5 - Production

  Thu 25 May 2023

  The Year 5 pupils had a fabulous time performing their production, ‘A Brilliant Tour of the United Kingdom’.

  After entertaining the staff and children in two dress rehearsals earlier this week, the performers were extremely excited to present their play to parents and carers on Wednesday. Looking fantastic in their costumes, they delivered their lines beautifully, and sang and danced... brilliantly! After rehearsing so hard, it was great to finally perform!

  Thank you to all the parents and carers for providing such perfect costumes and for supporting the staff and the children so enthusiastically during the show. We all appreciate it hugely!
