• Year One- Julia Donaldson

  Thu 15 Sep 2022 Mrs Ireland

  This week, we have been reading and writing about some of Julia Donaldson's books. We explored role playing the character of the old lady from the 'A Squash and a Squeeze', made stick man from play dough and labelled pictures using the sounds they know. 

  We have been writing some tricky words in chalk and have had some fun reading a range of books to the children.

  Do you have any Julia Donaldson books at home?

  

• Year 5 - Brilliant Schools

  Thu 15 Sep 2022

  The children in Year 5 were incredibly lucky to have a stimulating session with 'Art of Brilliance' on Wednesday morning. 

   

  The team at 'Art of Brilliance' supports schools in developing positive psychology amongst the children and staff. Their focus is on having a positive attitude, developing resilience and an awareness of the impact of our attitudes on others.

   

  The children reflected maturely on these issues, and they are looking forward to further sessions in the coming weeks and months.

  

• More PGL! All weather action!

  Tue 13 Sep 2022 Year 6

  We've had an amazing second day at PGL - loads of fun doing brilliant activities and awesome food as well. The rain hasn't spoiled a thing. We're very proud of the children and having a brilliant time!

  

• Year 6 at PGL

  Mon 12 Sep 2022 Year 6

  We're having a brilliant time at PGL! We've just finished a lovely dinner and everyone's playing on the playground now. 

  We've already conquered some fears - much bravery and encouragement from the children cheering each other on. Some of the archery skills got to be pretty formidable by the time the sessions finished too...

  Lots to look forward to tomorrow - canoeing, the GIANT swing, and breakfast and lunch and dinner!

  The first night away from home can sometimes be daunting but everyone loves their rooms and fingers crossed everyone will be so tired they'll just fall asleep as soon as it's lights out tonight... We can live in hope!

  

• Lunchtime on Key Stage 2

  Mon 12 Sep 2022

  We are so lucky at Radipole to have such fantastic play equipment for lunchtimes. The Year 5 Radipole News Club went to investigate what the children at Radipole enjoy doing at breaktimes.

  This play time at Radipole Primary School some of the students here used the spectacular Scrap Store to make daring dens and superb obstacle courses. Some children enjoyed playing on the magnificent climbing frame with a bridge and climbing wall.

  

• Year 4 - Anglo Saxons and Hockey

  Fri 09 Sep 2022

  Year 4 have had a fantastic first week, and what a busy first week it has been! 

   

  The children were introduced to their History topic for this half term - The Anglo Saxons. We looked at a timeline of events and when the Anglo Saxons were around. Ask your child what chronology means and they should be able to tell you! Our class book is Beowulf which is a legend set in the Anglo Saxon times. 

   

  We also enjoyed our first outdoor (and slightly rainy) hockey lesson. The children were great collabadons and really impressed us with their hockey skills. 

  

• Year 3 - what a super start to the year!

  Fri 09 Sep 2022

  Year 3 made a wonderful start to the new school year this week! The children have been polite, enthusiastic and hard-working and have enjoyed beginning some of their new topics such as rocks and soils in science, and Stone Age to Iron Age in history.

   

  Children wrote some English about the Stone Age Boy story, began using our new White Rose workbooks, enjoyed creating some lovely cave art, and started our PE topic on travelling.

   

  Well done to the children for a super start to the year! 

  

• Year One - The Beginning of Term

  Thu 08 Sep 2022 Mrs I

  All the children have had an exciting time coming back to school. They have already learnt so much and this afternoon had fun exploring the nature reserve on a pirate hunt. The pirate had lost all all of this special things and the children had to search and find them all for him.

  We are looking forward to another fabulous week. 

  

• Year 2 - Different ,yet the same!

  Thu 08 Sep 2022 FProbert

  What a great start to the new academic year! The children have found that many things are the same as last year: the same lessons; the same play times; lunches are just as delicious; and our fun and caring friends are as wonderful as ever.

  Of course, the children have also found that many things are different. They have new classrooms, so drop-offs and pick-ups are in a new place. They have new teachers and TAs who will help them with their learning. They also have responsibilities to help keep our school environment and classrooms organised, safe and happy.  The children already have coped brilliantly with these changes.

  To the teachers, they all look a little bit different, for they seem to have grown over the holidays! We hope they continue to grow throughout the year by being happy, kind and brave.

  A great first week – well done, Year 2.

• Year 5 - Science Investigation

  Thu 08 Sep 2022

  The children in Year 5 have had a brilliant start to the new school year, and all the adults have been incredibly impressed by their positive attitudes and wonderful manners.

   

  In our science lesson this week, the children tested different materials to explore their properties. The children investigated the scientific concepts of magnetism, hardness, transparency, flexibility and solubility.
