Recycling Christmas Cards in the New Year

Please help us recycle your Christmas cards for the Woodland Trust Scheme.
We're asking you to recycle your Christmas cards to help us turn your cards into trees!

For every 1,000 cards dropped in to Marks & Spencer stores for recycling throughout January 2017, a new tree will be planted!

In the New Year, please bring any Christmas cards to the foyer outside the school office where there will be a bin. Do bunch these together and place a slip with the amount you are posting into our bin - this way the children will be able to calculate quickly whether we have collected enough to plant one or two trees. Please do not put loose cards in. The recycling bin will be in the foyer form the start of term. If you can, please do support this worthwhile venture. We will then make arrangements for the cards to be transported to Marks & Spencer at the end of the January 2017.

We wonder how many trees we can donate?!

Year 3 Party Food for Friday

Just to remind you that the children in Year 3 are having a "Party Lunch" tomorrow. The "party food list" has been up in the classroom for the week. If you are able to provide party food but have not yet signed up, we could do with some more sandwiches/rolls and salad.
There will be no hot dinners for Year 3. (These have already been cancelled.)

Year Three Class Photos - Gallery

Just a quick reminder that you can look at photographs of the children in Year 3 in action at school by looking at "Year Three Class", following the link from the "Class Photo Gallery" on the School Website (front page).
With the holidays soon upon us, this might provide a convenient way of the children responding to the question "What have you been up to this term?" - when they are asked by visiting relatives.

Technology day (9/12/16)

A ‘Christmassy, art and crafty’ day was enjoyed by all on Friday 9^th December. It was the POW school annual ‘Technology day’ when children select three activities in which they wish to create a Christmas themed piece of art/ design work.  The manner in which children moved around the school, worked well within the mixed up age groups was superb. All children were displaying our resilient tortoise in tackling activities and the older children were lending a hand in helping organise the younger children’s work, showing the next steps in how to produce an item. Super skills from one and all! Some products made have been added to this blog.

Thank you finally to all parents who managed to join for some/ or all of the day, the extra pairs of hands very much helped!

Year 3 - Working on "Time" in Mathematics this week

Just to remind you that we are working on learning to "tell the time" in our Maths sessions this week.
The children in Year 3 have worked really hard on this. A special mention of praise for William, Odette and Amalia who are really making fantastic progress through their hard work and determined attitude.

Journey to the Stable - Year 3

Today the children in Year 3 enjoyed their "Journey to the Stable" experience at the United Church in South Street, Dorchester.
This was a lovely opportunity to learn about the Christmas Story and the celebration of Christmas.
Our thanks to Peter, Lynne, Brenda and colleagues for inviting us to the event and to Odette's Dad and Noah's Mum for helping us with the visit.

Christmas fair, 2nd December

What a busy, Christmassy feel to the school yesterday evening! The school was full of children and our families making the realisation that Christmas is nearly knocking on our doors!

The school would like to thank you for your support, for the goodies donated and for spending those pennies! All which will be ploughed into making the children's learning and environments a richer place to learn in.

A huge thank you also to everyone who has helped in preparing for the Christmas fair, preparations, laying out and running stalls to tidying up at the end. Thank you to POWSA.

Well done Year 3 for an entertaining Class Assembly today

Well done Year 3 for an entertaining Class Assembly today. The Mums and Dad, Grandmas and Grandpas, children and school staff all thoroughly enjoyed the polished performance of "Jack Spice Sails with Sir Francis Drake".
We were all impressed with how well the children delivered their lines, concentrated on their miming, and sang so enthusiastically.
