A big thank you to everyone who supported Christmas Jumper Day on Friday. The children all looked very festive in their bright and sparkly jumpers and enjoyed taking part in the Christmas Jumper design competition organised by the FBS. We also managed to raise £80.50 towards Save the Children so thank you all.
It was so lovely to see all the Key Stage 1 children perform and sing so beautifully in their Nativity this year. They have all worked so hard to master their parts and learn all the songs. Their hard work however paid off as it was a great success and I know that those of you who have ordered a filmed copy will enjoy watching it over and over again. Well done to all our KS1 Team!
It was great to see our school football team play their first friendly match of the year away to Baltonsborough Primary School. They played incredibly well with a fantastic 9-5 win to Butleigh - well done everyone!
Falcon Class enjoyed a very informative trip to Nothe Fort where they experienced life as a World War Two evacuee and learnt how the war affected towns such as Weymouth. It was lovely to see so many of them suitably dressed up for their visit.
We raised a staggering £205.61 during our Children in Need day on Friday 19th November 2021. Thank you to everyone for making it such a great success. The children enjoyed dressing up, buying (and eating) the cakes and throwing water soaked sponges at our very brave House Captains!

Our Year 5/6 class had a fantastic day at Yeovilton Fleet Air Museum where they learnt lots about the history of the Royal Navy with a focus on WWII. They also explored the different types of planes used by the Royal Navy through time compared with what planes are currently being used.
The whole school enjoyed a lovely autumnal walk to the War Memorial to take part in a Remembrance Service. The children quietly listened to and reflected on the words of the poem in Flanders Field read by some of the older children.
The youngest and eldest child in the school laid our school wreath on the memorial as a group of children in Falcon class read out the names of those soldiers who fought in both WWI and WWII.
The service ended with a prayer and blessing by the Rev. Chris Hopkins.
PCSO Tim came to visit our school this afternoon to talk to us all about his role in the community and how to keep safe when using the internet.
We celebrated National Maths Week by completing a range of different activities. The children were set lots of logic problems where they really had to think and use their mathematical knowledge to solve the questions.
During the whole school assembly, Falcon class shared what they had learnt about the famous mathematician Alan Turing. They also linked their maths to their WWII topic through exploring coding and the enigma machine.
Kestrel Class explored the famous mathematician Ada Lovelace and learnt about her links with computer programming.
Kite and Owl class enjoyed a range of different mathematical challenges and problem solving.
Our Harvest Service took place at the church where we thought about what harvest really means. Members of Falcon class took it in turns to read out key information and then held up letters at certain points to highlight important words such as 'HARVEST', 'EARTH', 'STARVE', 'SHARE' and 'HEART'.
Each class got to share something with the rest of the school. Owl Class sang the Little Red Hen and shared their artwork, Kestrel Class did a short play about flour using actions and Kite Class told us what they were grateful for and showed their artwork.
The children really enjoyed singing Harvest Samba and Lets Harvest with Singing.
During the service, each child got to carry their food to the altar. Thank you for all your generous donations which were later collected by a group of children from Falcon class and given to the Lord's Larder food bank in Butleigh.
