On Monday, we had the pleasure of being joined by Vikki Slade, who is a local MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole. She came into school to share with the children how she became an MP, why she does the work she does and asked the children if they wanted to quiz her on any aspects of her busy job! 🌟
The children enjoyed having Vikki and her team in school and asked her well thought out questions about the environment and our local area. 🌳

Thank you Vikki for coming to visit us! 💙

Badgers Class Russell Cotes Museum trip! 🏛️

We stepped right into Victorian times, trying on clothing and practising our best manners—the children perfected their curtsies and tipped their top hats at visitors in the museum, and honestly, it was absolutely delightful to witness! 🎩👑

We wandered through rooms filled with treasures, from artefacts in the drawing room to fascinating discussions about the pier from a beautiful window. The children were genuinely shocked to learn how scratchy Victorian swimwear was! 🏖️ We explored souvenirs, discovered entertainment from days gone by, and even created our own keepsakes in the gallery. 🎨

School's out for the Summer! ☀

What a lovely week we have had to end our amazing academic year at Witchampton First School! 💙

On Monday, we had an exciting whole school disco organised by our amazing Friends of Witchampton School-PTA in our school hall! 🪩

On Tuesday, we had our Leavers Service in the Church to say goodbye and good luck to our fantastic Year 4's who are moving onto their middle schools in September! ⛪

On Wednesday, we enjoyed a final day in school, making memories in our classes before the Summer Holidays! ☀

We wish all our school families an enjoyable break filled with fun, relaxation, and wonderful memories together. Whether you're exploring new places, enjoying quiet moments at home, or anything in between, we can't wait to hear all about it when we return in September! 📚✨ Have a fantastic summer!

🐦‍⬛ Schoolchildren from Witchampton First School’s eco team gave a presentation to pupils at St John’s First School in June all about the common swift, as the birds have recently returned to nest in Wimborne Minster, having completed a 6,000-mile journey from Africa to breed in the UK.

What an incredible few days our Y4 adventurers have had! 🏕️ They packed their bags and headed to Leeson House for a residential trip that was absolutely packed with fun ✨

The trip was filled with stunning coastal walks 🥾 where the children explored Dancing Ledge and the beautiful Studland Beach. But that's not all—there was an evening of team games and fire building 🔥 that had everyone working together and having a brilliant time!

One of the highlights? Creating sandcastle sculptures inspired by the iconic Old Harry Rocks 🏰

Our Y4 children embodied our Church values throughout the entire trip of Love, Inspiration and Courage ⭐ We are all very proud of them 💪
