Trip to Dorchester

We will be off to Dorchester on Thursday 8th November.  Please ensure your child has a warm, waterproof coat for the day and brings plenty to eat and drink whilst we are away from school.  We've got lots of interesting and interactive things planned in the day including; taking part in a church service at St Peter's Church, taking part in the South Street Challenge where the children will be identifying locations through photo orienteering and visiting the Keep Military Museum to find evidence of our local military history.  It should be a fun packed day!

Back to school - New Topic

We will be moving away from the theme of world war II this half term and we will begin to look at our new topic of Dorchester.  We will begin by looking at Dorchester's connections to the Second World War and move into Dorchester today.  We will welcome Mr Ray on Friday 9th November who is coming to talk about his historical knowledge of the war and how it relates to our locality.  If there is anybody else who has connections to local history or who has some interesting tales to tell about Dorchester and the surrounding area we would love you to come in and share them.  Please see a member of the year 4 team.

Some research please!

I would like the Year 4 children to see what they can find out about SAFFRON and how it is used by Hindus! Why is it the most expensive thing in the world?

Home learning 19^th October 2012

As you know during WW2 people were encouraged to reuse and recycle!  I would like you to get creative, what could you create out of old junk?  During next week and over the holidays use anything that would otherwise be thrown away to make something new.  You can either bring your creation in, or you could take a photo and bring that in instead.  Be as individual as you can!  I look forward to seeing the results.

POWSA Blog - Non ICT Day

I have this little sister Lola, she is small and very funny.  Next Wednesday (the 24^th of October) will be a non-ICT day.  That means all the children, including Lola and all the teachers cannot use computers or other technology in school! There will be no blogging, no typing, no googling, no surfing. There will certainly be no interactive white boarding, no tweeting, no ipadding, no videoing and certainly no tomatoes! Lola is looking forward to catching out her teachers, if they use some ICT, they have to pay a 50p fine!  Hopefully all the children will help Lola and raise funds for the school. Thank you - Charlie (and the POWSA Committee) - PS donations to POWSA for school equipment will be welcomed (as always!!)
