• Goodbye...

  Fri 17 Jul 2015

  The last day of the Summer Term is a roller coaster of emotions, with fun and celebration but tinged with sadness.

   

  There was certainly a lot of celebration as we toasted the successes and hard work or our Year Two children. Each year, our school governors present one child from each Year Two class with a special award for their effort and enthusiasm throughout their time at school. It was a particularly tough choice this year - take a look at the pictures below to see the winners.

   

  There was also a lot of fun! The three winners of our 'Where's Wally?' competition got to choose an adult from their year team to walk the plank. Again, look at the pictures below to see who won!

   

  Finally, there were quite a few tears as we say goodbye to our Year Two children, who have been the most incredible group of children. They have been delightful, kind and hard working. We wish them the very best of luck at their new schools. Click here to take a look at some pictures of their time at Upton Infant School.

   

  It was also sad to say goodbye to a number of staff, some of which have been associated with the school for nearly twenty year. Mrs Smith, Mrs Atwill, and Mrs Griffin are all retiring this year. Mrs Jackson, Miss Lewis, Mrs Wilson and Mr Martin are all moving on to new jobs. We wish them all the very best of luck. Click here to see what the children think of them!

   

   

  

• The Time Warp!

  Mon 13 Jul 2015

  The Year Two children's end of year extravaganza took place today. The audience was entertained with super singing, acting and dancing and there were plenty of laughs, and a few tears. Well done Year Two - a fantastic end to three fantastic years at Upton Infant School.

• You found Wally!

  Mon 13 Jul 2015

  Sneaky Pirate Wally tried very hard to hide around Upton, but so many of you followed his clues to track him down. Chief Pirate Helm has been very pleased with the super efforts of many of the children in showing him how they tracked down cunning Pirate Wally. He will be judging them during assembly on Wednesday.Take a look at the pictures below to see some of them for yourself. 

  

• Upton Carnival Fun

  Sat 11 Jul 2015

  What a lovely day for The Upton and Lytchett Minster Carnival. The day started early at Upton Infant School, converting Curvin Transport's Lorry into a Pirate Ship.

   

  The float looked super, as did the scores of children, parents and staff in pirate themed costumes. As the carnival procession began, it was great to see the amazing effort put in by so many people to creating a fantastic variety of carnival floats.

   

  So, we were particularly pleased to win the prize for best float. Well done everyone.

   

  Now, where has Mr Loe got to with Pirate Wally...?

  

• Where's Pirate Wally?

  Sun 05 Jul 2015

  In the run up to Upton Carnival, Pirate Wally will be out and about around Upton. Each day a new clue to Pirate Wally's new location will appear on our website. Alternatively you can follow Pirate Wally @UptonInfant on twitter:  twitter.com/UptonInfant 

   

  There will be prizes given at the end of the treasure hunt to those who manage to track down Wally each day, and a special prize to the person who can prove in the most imaginative way that they've found Wally each day.

   

  Have you spotted Wally today? If not, here's Thursday's clue:

   

  Pirate Wally has a date...

  But watch the time - he can't be late.

   

  Sometime on Friday morning he will be off again - here's the next clue:

   

  Where's Wally now? Go take a stroll...

  And grab yourself a bacon roll.

   

  Good luck!

  

• Hair today, gone tomorrow

  Fri 03 Jul 2015

  Well done to Mrs Starr, one of our super lunchtime supervisors who had her long flowing locks cut off in the school playground at the end of the school day today. Mr Helm seemed to enjoy shearing off some of her hair! Mrs Starr is raising money for Marie Curie Cancer Care.

   

  You can support Mrs Starr on her Just Giving page.

  

• Upton Arts Week

  Fri 03 Jul 2015
  This afternoon some of our Reception children went to Upton Methodist Church to sing as part of Upton Arts Week. They performed to members of the community, who reported that they were in fine voice. Well done, Reception!

  

• Grandparents' Day

  Fri 03 Jul 2015
  This morning Upton Infant School welcomed many of the childrens' grandparents into school. They took part in lessons alongside their grandchildren, shared memories of their own schooldays and were taken on a tour of the school. It was lovely to see such a fantastic turnout.
