Fun at our Sports Morning

Well done to everyone for a very successful Sports Morning this morning. We had lots of fun.
All of the children had a thoroughly enjoyable time taking part in the races, in the skills carousel and the country dancing.
Many thanks to the parents and grandparents who came along.

Home learning - Friday 26th June

For their "Home learning" this week, I have given the children the challenge of finding out about some of the rivers in Great Britain.
Just a reminder that next week we are going to visit the River Wey at its source at Upwey Wishing Well and at its mouth at Radipole Lake in Weymouth. There are still quite a number of children who have not yet brought back their "permission slips".

Year Three meet the D.M.S. Eco Team

The children in Year 3 had an enjoyable afternoon with the Eco Team from D.M.S. who came to visit with their teachers Mrs Whiting and Mrs Young.
We had a discussion about the activities that we have carried out over the year as part of our Eco Schools campaign and then split into groups to get busy with some "Eco-work" together.
Have a look at the fantastic bird-feeders and Eco Team badges that we made!

Home Learning - Friday 19th June

For their "home learning" this week, I have asked the children to have a go at learning (to recite) the poem "Ducks' Ditty" from "The Wind in the Willows":

“DUCKS’ DITTY.”

             By Kenneth Grahame

All along the backwater,

Through the rushes tall,

Ducks are a-dabbling,

Up tails all!

 

Ducks’ tails, drakes’ tails,

Yellow feet a-quiver,

Yellow bills all out of sight

Busy in the river!

 

Slushy green undergrowth

Where the roach swim—

Here we keep our larder,

Cool and full and dim.

 

Everyone for what he likes!

We like to be

Heads down, tails up,

Dabbling free!

 

High in the blue above

Swifts whirl and call—

We are down a-dabbling

Up tails all!

Kites

This week we are all going to make a kite! That's one kite each!
We are very grateful to the P.O.W.S.A. for funding this project.
Let's hope for a "windy-ish" day on Friday so that we can have fun Kite-Flying.
