Well done griffin for wining this years house cup. Griffin won with an amazing 15,500 house points, a school record.

As you know, year 6 are out this week at Weymouth college. Primary College is a four-day programme of workshops provided for the Chesil Education Partnership by Weymouth College for all of its Year 6

The aims of Primary College are that each child will leave:

• confident, excited and with raised expectations about their transition to secondary education.
• aware of the wide spectrum of post-16 education opportunities, and with aspirations of becoming a further / higher education student with a range of new skills in subject.

As you can see by the children’s faces, as well as learning they are have a very fun and fulfilling time.

Another successful run of family seal has now come to an end. Jackie Pointer and Debbie Alley reported that the sessions were well attended and feedback was excellent. Comments received included the following” ;

” Time with my child and making stuff were the best things”

“I think my son would say we should do it every week”

“I would recommend it to a friend, go along and enjoy it”

“I enjoyed discussing the subjects involved with my son”

Jackie and Debbie would like to thank everyone for attending . We look forward to meeting the new year 3 parents for the next Family Seal which will be introduced on 22nd of September at 9am

This week our choir have been very busy putting on their show ‘The Wizard of Oz’. For the last couple of months over 50 children have been hard at work rehearsing twice a week after school. Many of the staff have also been hard at work making costumes, scenery and props. All the hard work has paid off as the show is full of wonderful singing and acting, brightly coloured costumes and some spectacular scenery!

Well done to everyone who has helped to make this such a special production.

Mrs Rewse and Mr Payne

Performances will be held on Tuesday the 6th of July and Thursday 8th of July at 7PM. unfortunately all tickets have now sold out.

A big thank you to everyone who helped last Friday to make our Summer Fete a fun and successful event. It was worth all the hard work that everyone put in, and even the weather behaved itself for most of the evening.

During Mexico week we made Guacamole and Salsa. It was  fun; The onion made most of us cry. The tomatoes were all juicy and not nice but in the end it tasted amazing, I loved it!

I had some Chilli sauce, it was so, so hot. I had just a little bit but then Mr Britton had a big dollop of it on a Tortilla chip and eat it all in one go. I don’t know how jhe likes it, My mouth is still hurting.

The Salsa was very spicy after adding chills and onions. next we made the Guacamole using avocados(which are native to Mexico) When the dips were ready we all tried them. They ere lovely with nachos and cheese although it was too spicy for Mr Saunders.

As part of our School Travel Plan research we sent out a questionnaire to all families and members of the school community. Many parents and carers stated that they would like their child to cycle to school but expressed concern regarding road safety. Therefore, we decided to organise cycling training for children in Years 4, 5 and 6. This week our second group of children completed their Level 1 Bikeability training. Well done to all those children who took part. We look forward to seeing you riding your bikes to school. A very special thank to Cycloan who have delivered the programme so effectively this term.

Due to its success, we aim to organise more Level 1 sessions in September along with Level 2 for those children who have already done this. There is also the possibility that we might be able to give Year 3 the chance to get involved with the basic level. If you would like to find out more about this road awareness scheme, please see Mrs Garland.

3G have been growing plants as part of our science work. Today we picked our Radishes and they were enormous. All of the children too some home to eat with their tea.

As a healthy school, we are always keen to tell others about how to live a happy, safe life. Today, the children in Years 5 and 6 were treated to a fun-packed assembly about sun safety.

Following on from their recent study of Australia, 6G decided to educate their peers about the dangers of the sun and how to stay safe this summer. It started with a fantastic fashion show of summer outfits, snazzy sunglasses and colourful hats along with a few squirts of water to cool everyone down in the warm weather! The children then went on to explain about SLIP, SLOP, SLAP.

This is a health campaign that originated in Australia but is now used worldwide. It is simple and easy to remember…and helps us stay safe in the sun.
