Our Year 4 children have been mastering the tricky world of decimals 🔢
Using concrete resources, they’ve been building numbers like 4.36 and 4.27 to really understand what lies beyond the decimal point. Mastering place value gives our children a brilliant foundation for solving complex, real-world math problems later on.
Have a look at these brilliant mathematical minds at work! 👇

This week, our Year 5 children enjoyed an exciting trip to Corfe Castle. During their visit, they explored the historic ruins and learned all about the castle's fascinating history, including what life was like for the people who lived and worked there many years ago.

We are very proud of how the children represented our school and would like to thank the staff and volunteers at National Trust Corfe Castle for making the visit so memorable!

Our Year 4 children are officially 'Fluent in 5' experts! ⏱️✨

This daily challenge helps the class build incredible speed, accuracy and confidence with their mental maths skills. We love seeing their focus and determination grow every week. Brilliant effort, Year 4! 🙌 Number wizards in the making.

It's a busy time of year for our Year 6 families!

As we head towards the end of what has been a fantastic year, we wanted to share some important dates. There are lots of exciting events ahead as we celebrate our wonderful children before they move on to their next adventure!

Year 4 Boys Football!

Last Friday, it was the boys' turn to take part in the football tournament organised by AFC Bournemouth Community.

The team scored some excellent goals and faced a number of challenging and highly competitive matches throughout the day. Most importantly, they demonstrated fantastic resilience, teamwork, and sportsmanship from start to finish.

Well done, boys! You have made the school proud and represented us brilliantly!

🥁 Year 6 are bringing the rhythm! 🎶

The classroom has been alive with energy as the children practice their drum grooves! Using their beaters to master some tricky new beats, they’ve shown amazing listening skills and brilliant determination.
Music is such a fantastic way for the children to build confidence and express themselves. Safe to say, they absolutely nailed the rhythm! 🌟

Some of our Year 5 and Year 6 children recently attended the Can Do Primary Water Sports Festival at Poole Park, organised by Dorset School Games.

The children had the exciting opportunity to take part in a variety of water- and land-based activities, including kayaking, mega stand-up paddleboarding, raft building, and much more.

Throughout the day, our children showed outstanding teamwork, respect, and cooperation—the key themes of the event. They embraced every challenge with enthusiasm and supported one another brilliantly. It was a day filled with fun, learning, and memorable experiences for everyone involved!

Well done to the children for representing the school so positively and making the most of this fantastic opportunity!

Last Friday, our Year 4 Girls took part in a football tournament organised by AFC Bournemouth Community Hub.

The girls continued to demonstrate fantastic teamwork, determination, and hard work throughout the tournament, with some excellent individual and team goals being scored along the way. Most importantly, they supported one another brilliantly and represented the school with pride.

We are incredibly proud of the attitude and effort shown by every player.

Well done, girls! You represented the school in a fantastic way!
