Y1- 1.11.16- Marvellous castle home learning

A huge well done to all of Year 1 children that put in so much effort in to their home learning. This afternoon the children shared their creations with their friends and explained how they made them. We really were so impressed with them all and we have had so many comments about them in the display area (just outside of the class room by the hall). 

This morning in PE the children used the large equipment in the hall to show how they could balance. They had to move in different ways through, up and over the equipment and show their skills.

Christmas cards order

Christmas card orders

Hopefully you have all received your child’s card design? You were given the information to order through the company directly on the back of the art work. The art work needs to come back to school to your child’s classroom, into their envelope - by Friday 4^th November – end of this week, ready to be sent off.

The company will be collecting on Monday 7^th November from our school office, no set time has been given so it is vitally important the art work is back in the class envelope on Friday please.

We are hoping for the cards to be delivered back to school around 22nd November.

Y1- 31.10.16- Castle creations and home learning tomorrow please.

I am looking forward to welcoming you all back to school tomorrow and seeing your castle creations and writing! We will be looking at these tomorrow afternoon.

We have PE first thing in the morning so please can we have PE kits in. 

Thank you

Y1 29.10.16- A visit from the Queen!

It was fantastic to see so many Prince of Wales children out on Thursday and in particular a lot of Year 1 children, who were all eager to try and get a glimpse of the Queen and her family. It felt like the whole of Dorchester were tightly packed in to The Queen's Mother's square which was very exciting!

I am not sure if you have seen the pictures but if not check out the Dorset Echo website.

There are some brilliant photos and even one of Bella who got extremely close to the Queen and managed to give her some flowers!

Many thanks to Mr Scott for helping with this organisation.

Y1 21.10.16- Bling your bike and the end of half term!

So we have reached the end of the first half term in Year 1! Thank you to everyone that came to parents evening this week. It was great to be able to talk to you all about how your children have settled in to Year 1.

Well done to everyone that took part in the 'bling your bike' competition today. They all enjoyed showing the rest of the school their efforts. It was fantastic to see so many decorated bikes and scooters. Everyone involved received a reflective sticker and a certificate. Extra congratulations to Indi-Rose and Lily who were chosen by the Eco Team to win prizes!

We hope you have a lovely break. We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 1st November with your castles home learning.

Bling Your Bike - Friday 21st October

“Bling Your Bike Morning”

Yes that is “Bling”, although we would like you to “Bring” your bikes too!

This Friday 21st October we will be holding another “Bling Your Bike” event. This is to promote “Being Safe by Being Seen” when out on your bikes and scooters. We are having a competition to see who can make their bike or scooter extra colourful and bright ,- so that it really stands out!

The children may score extra marks for having bright, colourful clothing that they can put on when parading their “blinged”-bike.

Children who would like to take part in the competition should bring their bikes to school on the morning of Friday 21^st October. Winners will be decided during the day and we have some nice prizes, kindly donated by Sustrans

It is important that any materials added to your bike or scooter should not be in the way of moving parts.
