• Year One - Who stole the biscuits?

  Thu 07 Jul 2022 Mrs I

  This week, the children all became detectives to find the adult who stole the biscuits from the staffroom. Mrs Wade from the office, was incensed with anger as the biscuits she brought in were gone and only a trail of crumbs and empty wrappers were left. The children followed the clues only to find that Mr James had eaten them all and was hiding under a blanket, in the nature reserve! 

  The children were totally engaged with the whole mystery and were keen to find out what had happened. This lead them to complete some amazing writing!! Many of the children even completed a whole page of writing.

  The children had very little sympathy for Mr James who felt extremely sick for the rest of the day!

• Year 3 - Day 1 at New Barn

  Well done to the children for living the Radipole values: happy, kind and brave. We're looking forward to day 2.

  The Radipole School Choir treated Years 2-6 with a wonderful performance. They sang some great modern songs which had been carefully rehearsed with Miss Hardy and Mrs Hunter.

• Year One - STEM Day

  Thu 30 Jun 2022 Mrs I

  On Wednesday, Year One explored different ways of joining paper. including curved paper, tubes and cones. We used glue and realised you have to be patient to make it stick properly!!!

  The children had 4 Fairy Tale challanges to complete. They had to make a shopping basket for Little Red Riding Hood, a gardening tool for Jack and the beanstalk, a pet carrier for Toto and a hat for the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz.

  We had a wonderful morning and the children showed great determination, perseverance and worked collaboratively.

• Year 5 and 6 STEM Day

  Wed 29 Jun 2022

  Years 5 and 6 have had a fantastic day with the Royal Air Force completing Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematical challenges! We have learnt all about trajectory, the centre of gravity and pressure when creating our own rockets. We also took part in team building and communication tasks when creating structures. Well done to our winners for creating the rockets that travelled the furthest with the most accuracy and to those individuals who showed great focus and determination. Thank you Mr Slater, Mr Holloway and Mrs Price! 

  

• The year 5 crowd did us proud!

  Tue 28 Jun 2022

   

  Last night, a selected group of year 5 students took to the stage at Weymouth Pavilion to perform a collection of songs for The Sea Shanties Show that was organised by Dorset Music service   This performance was part of the singing strategy which encourages all Dorset schools to sing!
  
  Under the guidance of Mrs Bowden, the children certainly represented Radipole superbly. They sang songs along with other Dorset school, and performed their own song- Echo Beach. The children looked smart, their singing was sensational, and the accompanying  dance routine choreographed by Mrs Bowden was colourful, coordinated and creative.
  For the children who took part - huge congratulations, and to the parents and carers who came to support them  - we thank you.

  
  A wonderful evening of entertainment!
