ELMER'S FIRST CLASS ASSEMBLY

Elmer’s class put on a fantastic first assembly, transforming into a colourful parade of mini beasts!

Dressed as ladybirds, butterflies, spiders, and more, the children wowed the audience with their confident singing and expressive actions.

Each group had a chance to perform their own special bug song, showcasing all they’ve learned throughout our mini beasts topic.

It was a joyful and creative celebration — a perfect way to wrap up this exciting unit of work!

SPORTS WEEK

Sports Week 2025 was a huge success, packed with energy, excitement, and plenty of opportunities for our pupils to try something new, challenge themselves, and have fun.

On Monday, Adam from Team Rubicon visited and gave Years 1 to 6 an unforgettable introduction to skateboarding. The children were fully kitted out with helmets, elbow and knee pads, and loved learning new skills on the boards.

On Tuesday, Years 4 to 6 had a go at pickleball – a fast-growing sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. The children picked it up quickly and enjoyed the competitive spirit.

Wednesday saw the whole school head out for a day at Moors Valley Country Park. With trails to explore, play areas to enjoy, and plenty of fresh air, it was a brilliant day for everyone involved.

Thursday was our official Sports Day. In the morning, KS2 pupils took part in the Quadkids athletics competition, while the afternoon was filled with fun and games for the entire school – a great way to celebrate physical activity together.

Finally, on Monday, we wrapped up Sports Week with our School Games Finals for KS2. The finals marked the end of our house match program and were a fantastic display of teamwork, determination, and school spirit.

A huge thank you to all the staff, visitors, and pupils who made Sports Week 2025 so special.

MOORS VALLEY

Last week our pupils had an unforgettable day at Moors Valley Country Park, filled with learning, exploration, and lots of fun in the fresh air.

KS2 children put their map-reading skills to the test during two hours of orienteering, navigating their way around the park with great enthusiasm and teamwork.

Meanwhile, KS1 pupils took part in pond dipping, where they explored the fascinating world of freshwater mini beasts. Using nets and identification charts, they discovered all sorts of creatures living beneath the surface!

Throughout the day, all children had the chance to enjoy the parks and play trail, climbing, balancing, and swinging their way through the natural play spaces.

To end the day on a high, children from Years R to 3 enjoyed a magical ride on the Moors Valley miniature railway – a perfect way to round off a day of outdoor learning and adventure.

A huge thank you to all staff and parent helpers who made the day so special!

SCHOOLGAMES FINALS

The excitement was sky-high this week as we held the finals of our House Match Program – a brilliant celebration of sport, teamwork, and school spirit and a fantastic end to our action-packed week of sports!

Years 5 & 6 competed fiercely in a variety of sports including netball, handball, tag rugby, football, and even a magical game of Quidditch! The energy and enthusiasm on the field were matched only by the skill and sportsmanship shown by every player.

Meanwhile, Years 3 & 4 demonstrated fantastic focus and determination in golf and tennis, showcasing the talent and promise of our younger athletes.

The House spirit was stronger than ever as teams cheered each other on, and every participant gave their all. A huge well done to all our pupils for making the finals such a success!

DORSET ADVENTURE PARK

On Friday, Year 6 enjoyed an action-packed day at Dorset Adventure Park near Corfe Castle. The day began with plenty of splashes and laughter as the children tackled the inflatable waterparks, bouncing, climbing, and sliding their way across the lake.

In the afternoon, the adventure continued as they took on the famous mud trail. With plenty of muddy challenges, obstacles, and team spirit, everyone got well and truly stuck in – quite literally!

It was a fantastic day full of fun, resilience, and unforgettable memories. A big thank you to the staff who made the trip possible and to all the children for their brilliant attitude throughout the day
