World book day will take place on Thursday 2nd March, we hope you’ll join us as we come together and celebrate. 

Our newly formed PTA have organised a school disco!

Please come to the office with £3 to get your ticket! 

Come along! 

Such beautiful but chilly weather… thank you Jack Frost. 

What a week it has been for our Ducklings! Their topic is ‘People who help us’ and look who came along to support this and share their knowledge! 

Thank you to Regency Dental Practice for allowing Siobhan and Camilla to come along and tell us how they help our community and what happens when you go to see the dentist. 

Then, we had a visit from PC Budden , who shared all about his job and then  Mrs Burton was a bit naughty so she was handcuffed! We hope she has learnt her lesson and starts behaving! 

Finally, Kerry our school nurse came in and told us how we can look after ourselves by eating well, drinking water, sleeping and exercising. 

Thank you so much for your time, our Ducklings asked so many questions and took away so much information and went on to paint portraits of those people who help us.

Our sporting Thursday’s are back! Today, it was the turn of seven of our Year 1 pupils at the Dare to Believe Festival. This was an afternoon of new games using skills of jumping, throwing, balancing, running and working as a team. 
It was the first time for our pupils at an event like this, and we cannot express how proud we are : they listened, participated, tried their best and represented our school perfectly. 
All the games, gained points and our team proudly walked away with 353 points!! Lots of high 5’s and smiles.

As we walk around our school,we can see some amazing displays. These are a great way of reinforcing key strategies and techniques and a place  to place students work on display.

Which one is your favourite?

Not long ago,we received some crochet blankets from The Swanage Well-being group and we said they would make great reading blankets for the spring but we handed them all out to families in need of an extra layer of warmth. 

Today, one of the ladies from The Well-being group has donated us 14 large fleece blankets for our children to use whilst reading outside. This really is so heartwarming and kind. Thank you so much! Now all we need is  some warmer and dryer weather!

Woodwind Wednesday! 
Today,our pupils got to listen to the fine tunes of the Clarinet, Saxophone, Flute and the Bassoon! 
The assembly was held by The Purbeck Youth Music to inspire, encourage and develop young people in Purbeck. 
If your child is interested in learning one of these instruments please contact the school or email The Purbeck Youth directly on help@purbeckyouthmusic.org
