Concerns over parking.

As you are all aware, the school is fortunate to have a wide range of parking areas in its proximity. Due to the school's opening time, there is sufficient time for all parents and carers to access the  school grounds with their child in a safe manner.

Yet again it has come to the school's attention of what has been described as dangerous driving and also parking which is obstructing pedestrian walkways and crossings. This cannot continue.

We ask all members of our school community to follow the markings and ultimately think about road safety for our families too. Only a few months ago was there an accident outside a school in Weymouth.

The governing body are now looking into further action to be taken, the local Police team are also aware of this issue and are providing assistance with this matter.

Thank you,


 

Red Nose Day Tomorrow!

Hello everyone,

Just a reminder about Red Nose Day tomorrow… It is a non-school uniform day with a red theme. Children can wear as much red as they can find as well as a funny accessory like a funny hat, glasses etc. Please consider donating what you can to such a great cause. Donations will be accepted in the morning within each classroom. 

At the end of the day we will have some brave volunteer members of staff taking part in the 'Pay for a Pie' event, out the front of the school. The 'pies' will cost £1 each and children are welcome to throw these! Arrangements will be made if the weather is unfavourable. We thank you in advance for giving what you can to support a great cause.

Lastly, ALL of our Red Noses have been sold! There are many shops that sell these if you still need to purchase one.

Many thanks

Successful "Bike-It-Breakfast" event - Tues 21st March

 



Today we had an excellent turn out of children and parents who came to school on Bicycles and Scooters to receive their "Bike-It-Breakfast". The sunny weather and the additional incentive of a healthy breakfast snack on arrival prompted a very good turn out. This should help to boost our figures in the "Big Pedal" - an event run by Sustrans that is taking place over the next fortnight.

Whole School Collaborative Writing Day!!!!!! Monday 6th March 2017

Well, well,well.....................?
What a SURPRISE we had this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It all began when..................................
Poor Mrs. Scott was called at 3:00am to come to school because the alarm was going off, on arrival she discovered that the side office door had been broken in to! The police arrived to investigate and were met by Baby Bear who claimed he was sure that it was Goldilocks who had broken in!!!!!!!!

The chaos unravelled from there...............Little Red Riding Hood appeared, looking VERY lost - apparently she had been invited by the Three Little Pigs to come and stay with them for a long week-end in their new house (the roundhouse of course!)

Goldilocks, it seems, had already intercepted this letter and was trying to find their house so that she could look inside! And, of course, the Big Bad Wolf had followed them all, in search of food!!!!!!!! Our guests joined us for assembly - it took all our might to stop Goldilocks from upsetting baby bear and from stopping the wolf gobbling up the Three Pigs and Red Riding Hood! They stayed in our school for the day, while I hunted high and low for the key to the Fairy Tale Land portal.............meanwhile, the children investigated the events in various ways spending the day in mixed up collaborative groups across the school! In Reception they wrote a variation on the Three Pigs story, in Year 1 they wrote letters to the wolf asking him to change his ways! In Year 2 they designed houses for an estate agents and wrote the particulars in order to persuade the pigs to buy their house. In Year 3 they learned all about wolves and wrote wolf fact files. In Year 4 they wrote new fairy tales "Goldilocks and The Three Pigs."
Luckily, at the end of the day, when we gathered in the hall to share our learning, I eventually found the key and we were able to return our visitors to Fairy Tale Land - and LOCK THE PORTAL!!!!!!!!

The writing will be displayed in the main corridor by the end of the week, so please pop along and have a read!!!!!!!!

World Book Day and The Greatest Fairy Tale Ever Told.

World Book Day was a HUGE success - what wonderful costumes - staff too! There were a lot of fun book based activities throughout the day too! Wally was spotted by several children today - look out for him in a new hiding place on Monday! Look out for book day photos on the website!

Today, we had the Hobgoblin Theatre Company perform "The Greatest Fairy Tale Ever Told............." The children (and adults) were thoroughly engaged as the three, highly professional actors/actresses, took us into the magical world of fairy tales, where not everything was as it seemed!!!!!!!!! It was a hilarious "twist" on the traditional tales we know and love!
A huge round of applause to the Hobgoblin Theatre Company!

Thank you everyone for your support - we look forward to some super writing as a result of this exciting visit!
