  Class 3PH had a lovely trip to Sutton Poyntz this week, linked to our geography topic on rivers. We got in the river to catch creatures which indicated how clean the water was, learnt about the water cycle, and how water is treated and how to conserve it. What a super start to our topic!

  

• Badmouth Netball Tournament - runners up!

  A massive well done to some of the Radipole Netball team!
  The children all played such an amazing tournament and should be so so proud of themselves.
  Coming from runners up in their pool, to making the final and pulling it back from 4-0 at half time. The final score being 5-4 which was such an amazing turn around! 

  I was one very proud teacher and Radipole supporter!

  Well done again!

  This week we have been exploring the world of Katie Morag. We have been reading some of the Katie Morag stories and finding about the island where she lives. As she lives on a Scottish Island, we have found out that it is quite different from Weymouth. The children have looked at maps of Struary and identifies the physical features of the island. They had a go at drawing the features on their own map of the Isle of Struary.

• Year 5 - Nature Reserve

  Thu 05 May 2022

  Year 5 pupils had a wonderful time in the nature reserve and thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous sunshine. After another fabulous singing rehearsal, the children were ready to spend some well-earned time outside, playing imaginative games, building dens and exploring the woods. It was lovely to see new leaves on the trees and wild flowers growing everywhere. Summer is definitely on its way!
