Choir Performance
Last week, our school choir had the wonderful opportunity to perform alongside a local ladies’ choir led by Mrs Desborough. The performance was truly special, with our pupils standing proudly on one side and the ladies’ choir on the other, creating a beautiful and harmonious atmosphere.
The choirs sang a variety of songs, both individually and together, showcasing their talent, confidence, and enthusiasm. It was a joy to see our pupils performing with such energy and pride, and the collaboration between the two choirs made the event even more memorable.
The combined voices filled the room with warmth and music, creating a truly uplifting experience for everyone who attended. All of the performers did an incredible job, and it was a performance to remember.

Dear Parents and carers,

With Mother’s Day coming up on Sunday 15th March, why not surprise a loved one with a small bag of gifts for the children to give to a special person in their life - whether that's mum, grandma, or anyone else that they'd like to say thank you to.

Each bag of gifts costs £2.00 and is available on the PTA website at www.pta-events.co.uk/ringwoodjuniors/ Online sale ends on Thursday 12th March. The bags will be given to the children in class on Friday 13th March to take home with them.

The PTA has also provided each child with a card and envelope to colour in and give to a special person.

Many thanks for your support,
The PTA team

Our Year 6 pupils recently took part in Bikeability cycle training, a national programme designed to help children develop the skills and confidence to cycle safely on today’s roads.
Throughout the week, pupils learned how to carry out basic bike safety checks, ensuring their bikes were roadworthy before setting off. They practised key cycling skills including starting and stopping safely, maintaining control, signalling clearly, and positioning correctly on the road.
As their confidence grew, children developed their awareness of other road users and learned how to make safe decisions at junctions, around parked cars, and in different traffic situations. The training took place in real road environments, giving pupils valuable, practical experience.
The children thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity and many rose to the challenge, showing great perseverance and determination as they developed new skills. We were particularly proud to hear that the instructors complimented our pupils on their excellent behaviour and positive attitudes throughout the training.
Bikeability not only improves cycling ability but also encourages independence, responsibility, and road safety awareness. We are incredibly proud of how maturely and sensibly our Year 6 pupils approached the experience.

As part of Safer Internet Day 2026, pupils took part in activities and discussions to help them understand how to use technology — including Artificial Intelligence (AI) — safely and responsibly.
Children explored what Safer Internet Day is and why it is important, thinking about how the internet and digital tools are part of everyday life. They learned that AI is a type of computer technology designed to do some of the things a human brain can do, such as helping with translations, homework support, playing music through smart speakers, or generating ideas.
Through examples and discussion, pupils considered the different ways people use AI in daily life and were encouraged to think critically about how technology can be helpful but also needs to be used carefully. A key focus was on staying safe online, including knowing when something doesn’t feel right and understanding that they should never deal with online worries alone.
Children also identified trusted adults they can talk to if they have concerns about something they see or do online. The session finished by encouraging pupils to think positively and creatively about how they might use AI safely and responsibly in the future.

Playtime Wednesday ⚽️🤸‍♀️⛹️‍♀️🤹

At playtime, children are encouraged to take part in physical games either on an individual basis or in a group. Recently, many children have purchased, or have borrowed, a Diablo and are now perfecting their skills to demonstrate a number of different tricks. The children enjoy learning from one another.

Other children enjoy taking part in dance routines. We are fortunate enough to have a speaker on the playground and so groups of children enjoy choreographing their own dance routines with one another and then performing them.

Playtime is a time when the children can relax, have fun with one another and this supports their overall mental health and positive wellbeing.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar 🐛🐛🐛

Year 6 pupils read the popular story "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" in French. Using the French vocabulary they have learnt and practised, for numbers, days of the week and food, they write their own story, in French, based on "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". Here are some examples of their French story books.

On Thursday 28th January, 10 pupils from across years 3 and 4 took part in the 'Can Do Festival' at Testwood School. There were about 10 other schools that took part in the range of activities.

The children participated in bowling, noughts and crosses game, bowls, new age curling, seated football, archery, axe throwing and a blind obstacle course.

All of the children showed determination and resilience and they worked effectively as a team. Both myself and Miss Whalley were very impressed with their overall behaviour and their communication skills. The children were excellent ambassadors for the school.

Year 6 Girls U11 Premier League Primary Stars ⚽

Last week, the girls performed brilliantly at another football tournament, facing stiff competition across Dorset with the chance of joining the boys’ team in representing AFCB at the Premier League Final in June. Mrs Dallyn was extremely proud and impressed with both the skill level and determination as they were relentless in both attack and defence. Many goals were both scored and saved to keep all matches close with even a penalty being scored in the process!

All of the girls were positive and upbeat, even with some losses. They demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship-all of them putting themselves forward to sit certain games out to ensure they all had game time in the 6 a side games. They all encouraged and praised each other and all shook the hands of every player they played against and thanked every referee adult from AFC Bournemouth.

Although we didn’t make the final this time, it was another positive performance that they can be proud of and take into their next matches as, fingers crossed, they can continue enjoying football into next season. We are so grateful for the parental support, which helped to boost the girls too.

Year 6 Boys Premier League Primary Stars U11 Schools event

What an absolutely fabulous afternoon of football we enjoyed last Friday!
This was a highly anticipated event, that the boys had planned and trained for and this was evident as they were unbeaten in all 7 matches to be crowned Premier League Primary Stars U11 champions and representatives for AFCB at the Finals later in June.
Not only was the skill level incredible, but every boy played their part in every match and they supported each other in words and in actions. I was truly blown away by the mature approach they showed to each other, to the opponents and they absolutely deserved this win.
I can’t wait for the final in June!
