Year 1 Trip to Hengistbury Head Year 1 had a

fantastic time on

their school trip to

the beach last week!

They enjoyed going

to Hengistbury Head

visitor centre and

finding out all about

the wildlife living

around the beach

area. They then

caught the land

train to the beach to

make some amazing sandcastles and finished off

with an ice cream and ferry ride! What a lovely day

they had!

Summer Fair Thank you for supporting our Summer Fair and 25th Anniversary celebrations. With the incredible support of the local community, parents and grandparents we raised a staggering £1900! This will help benefit all the children in various ways including wild wood, school trips, interactive whiteboards and the development of the outside pond area.

Special Visitors in Reception! The children in Reception were visited today by four Springer Spaniel puppies. Bryn’s mum let all the children have a cuddle with the puppies and answered any questions that the children had. We were also lucky to have a visit from a bee keeper. We looked at a bee hive and even got to try on a bee keeper’s outfit.

Library Reading Challenge The library’s ‘Summer Reading Challenge’ this year is called Animal Agents. The Animal Agents love solving mysteries and they need help to solve cryptic cases. Sign up at the local library where you will receive a collector folder. Read six library books (or more!) over the holidays to collect special stickers and complete the Challenge. Each time you visit the library, you’ll discover new clues and evidence that will help you solve these cases.

SportsDay All the children were so excited to take part in Sports Day on Thursday. Everyone enjoyed all the different activities but the year group races seemed to be very popular! The most competi-tive people on the day were the staff who ran the relay race! Many thanks to Friends of School for providing tea, coffee and delicious Danish pastries. Also, thank you to all parents/grandparents for coming along to support the children. Yellow team won! Here are Marley and Freya proudly holding the cup.
