Once again, years 3 & 4 were lucky enough to spend a morning on the bird boat, cruising a very still Poole Harbour. The trip was organized through Birds of Poole Harbour, who pay for everything and provide binoculars and expert guides/birders.
Here is a list of what we saw:
- kingfisher
- buzzard
- cormorant
- shag
- shelduck
- spoonbill
- little egret
- great crested grebe
- red-breasted merganser
- avocet
- dunlin
- golden eye
- oystercatcher
- bar-tailed godwit
- redshank
- and 2 seals
Year 3 & 4 Athletics
Well done to our athletes from years 3 & 4 for their great result at the inter-primary competition held at The Purbeck School.
Year 3 & Year 5 Tented Camp
Children from years 3 & 5 enjoyed a brilliant overnight camp on our school field. It was jolly cold on Monday night, but Tuesday made up for it with a warm sunny day. The children took part in setting up camp, games, challenges and activities, all arranged by the leaders from the Allnatt Centre in Swanage, to whom we say a big THANK YOU!

Year 3 visit Studland
Year 3 were lucky enough to be invited to view the Cyril Diver exhibition at Studland Study Centre, and to undertake some fieldwork looking for plants that were recorded by him at Studland 80 years ago. There were fascinating photos and specimens of insects to look at, and microscopes, too, for close-ups of moss, moths’ wings and beetles’ legs.

Brownsea Island trip
After a whole year, Year 3 made it to Brownsea Island. It was good British Summer Weather – windy and damp – but we had a great day, including red squirrels, peacocks, hens and chicks, cricket, lots of walking.

First Communion Celebration Mass
On Thursday 18 June we held a special celebration Mass in the school hall, with our first communion children dressed in their special outfits from their first communion at St Edward’s on the previous Sunday. We were joined by parents and other parishioners.
