Moors Valley train ride

My, haven’t we had a busy summer! Woodland walks, Forest School, swimming, cooking, playing,

trips and lots of arts and crafts….!

All activites have fit in with our weekly topic. So far we have had Magic and Fantasy,  Animal Kingdom and All about me..! Have a look at some of our photos to see what fun we’ve been having!

If you are interested in attending Busy Bees, theres still time..! Just call Motcombe Sports Centre on 01747857964 to check availability.

Reception, Year one and Year two showed their parents and families exactly what they have been getting up to in Gym this past year in our gym display. With forwards and backwards rolls, balancing and vaults, the audience were kept on their toes with excitment!

Father’s Day was celebrated early in the Pre-Prep with a hot breakfast served in the Forest School.  Sausages, bacon and eggs were cooked on the fire and then eaten by both fathers, mothers and the children.  The sun came out and a wonderful time was had by everyone.  Some parents thought that breakfast in Forest School should become a weekly event!

Year One visited the Norden line and enjoyed an exciting steam train journey to Swanage and back to support their learning  around the topic of  ‘Journeys’.  The ice-cream at the end was enjoyed by all!

Year One stepped back in time recently when they went for a spin in two vintage cars.  They are learning about journeys in the past and found the early cars rather bumpy and draughty - but very exciting!

The summer holidays are fast approaching!

Jasper's mini garden

“I’m picking flowers to put in my mini garden!”

In Forest School last week Reception, Year1 and Year2 split into little groups to make our own minature gardens!

Famous author Stewart Ross visited the Pre-Prep today.  He captivated the imagination of the children by creating a story, with their enthusiastic contribution, about an ‘authorship’ that sailed from Blackpool and met a sea monster.  Luckily it had a happy ending when Tiny Thomas was rescued by Energetic Emily. 

We had a visit from 4 children from the Prep school who learn english as an additional language. Peter, Daniel, Aldolfo and Pipe came to talk to us about the different journeys they have made. Peter and Pipe both live in Thailand. Daniel lives in Japan and has travelled to Tokyo. Adolfo lives in Spain and travelled to Mexico. The boys all spoke about different countries they have travelled to and how long it took. We all thought they were very brave to speak to us as Pipe has only been speaking english for 4 weeks!

Year 2 were pleased to welcome three Prep School pupils who come from Thailand.  They came to talk to the children about their country and delighted them with their writing, sense of humour and showed the children some lovely photographs.  The Year 2 children asked them questions and learnt how to say hello and goodbye in Thai.
