SCHOOL NEWS & Key Dates
DORSET HEATH VISIT
As part of the Mini Beasts topic, Elmers enjoyed a wonderful visit from the Dorset Heath team. The children took part in a range of exciting, hands-on activities, including making "Pongy Potions" to discover how scented plants attract insects, exploring the fascinating butterfly life cycle, and joining in with a fun butterfly action rhyme.
The children were enthusiastic learners throughout the session and loved discovering more about the amazing world of insects and their habitats. To round off the Mini Beasts learning, they were delighted to release the butterflies after patiently waiting for them to emerge from their chrysalises. It was a magical experience and a wonderful way to celebrate everything they had learned!
BIG LITTLE THEATRE
Year 3 and Year 4 enjoyed a fantastic visit from Big Little Theatre, who delivered a series of engaging workshops designed to build confidence, encourage teamwork and develop performance skills. The children enthusiastically took part in a range of drama activities, growing in confidence as they explored different characters and ideas.
The workshops were followed by a wonderful performance of “Valoria” to the whole school, a heartwarming play with an important message about celebrating who we are, accepting one another's differences, and showing kindness, support and friendship. The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and took away some valuable lessons that will stay with them long after the final curtain.
WOODLAND WEDNESDAY DATES
Please see below the Woodland Wednesday Schedule for the Summer Term.
On their specific dates, the children will need to wear appropriate clothing, including waterproofs if the weather is due to be wet – please be aware they may get mucky, so old clothing would be best, and some spare clothes to change into following the activity in the event of wet weather is also advised.
