Thank you to Mrs Buckle for arranging the concert for years 2 & 3, and to the wonderful secondary school musicians who performed. We loved the music and really enjoyed having a go at playing the instruments afterwards.
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:
Well done to our athletes from years 3 & 4 for their great result at the inter-primary competition held at The Purbeck School.
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 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.

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.
