• Leavers 2014

  Fri 18 Jul 2014

  As another year at Upton Infant School came to end, it was time to say goodbye to our Year Two children. The children celebrated their time at school with an evening party after their final performance of Sleeping Beauty on Thursday evening. 

   

  We said goodbye to the children during a special assembly which reflected on their fantastic achievements at Upton Infant School. Ben Baker, Harry Jenkins and Sophie Lerigo were also awarded the Governors' Prize for their outstanding contribution to the school.

   

  It was also time to say farewell to Mrs Samways who is leaving after 25 years at Upton Infant School. The whole school community wishes Mrs Samways the very best of luck.

  

• Sleeping Beauty

  Wed 16 Jul 2014

  The Year Two children have been very busy over the past fortnight putting together their end of year performance, Sleeping Beauty. It is an unusual take on the classic tale in which Mr Helm is poisoned by the rather spooky Mr Sneer.

   

  The Year Two staff were very proud of the children. They did a fantastic job of entertaining over 500 people over 4 performances with their beautiful singing, loud voices and clear speaking. The performance showed off the incredible talent, responsibility and confidence of the children as they come to the end of their time at Upton Infant School.

   

  As has become cutomary, the performance also included the end of year staff video, which you can see below.

   

   

  Well done children on a brilliant performance. Thanks must also go to the parents who helped with costumes and to the many staff who gave up their time and energy to help put the performance together.

  

• Project Mala

  Wed 16 Jul 2014

  Throughout the year, the school has been raising money for Project Mala, a charity which funds schools for children in India. Each class sponsored a different child whose education was being funded by Project Mala.

   

  Each year group organised an activity to raise funds. Reception organised a charity car wash, Year One held the 'Great Upton Bake Off' cake sale, and Year Two held a 'Mega Mala', a festival of Indian food, music and dancing.

   

  These activities collectively raised £800 for Project Mala. On Monday, Robin Garland from Project Mala visited the school to tell the children about the work of the charity. The School Council then presented Robin with a cheque. The school will continue to follow the work of Project Mala in the coming years, but the School Council will shortly be considering which charity they will be supporting next year.

  

• Upton Carnival

  Sun 13 Jul 2014
  Congratulations to The Wallys and The Baywatch Crew for their tremendous efforts at the carnival on Saturday.  On a beautiful day our entry was awarded Best Overall Float and Best Children's Float.  The children (and adults) loved waving and dancing to the crowds that lined the streets and we are already looking forward to next year's event.

  

• Pyramid Music Concert

  Wed 09 Jul 2014
  Well done to our school choir who joined with the other local school choirs to sing together at the annual Pyramid Music Concert.  It was held at the Lytchett Minster Secondary School and our children sang beautifully in front of over 500 spectators.

• Where's Wally?

  Tue 08 Jul 2014

  We need your help! Where's Wally?

   

  We have been on the look out for our old friend Wally, but can't seem to find him. We have been contacted by a number of Upton residents who have seen him out and about.

   

  Please keep your eyes peeled over the next few days to see if you can find out just where Wally is.
