• New Reading Rewards launched

  Wed 30 Sep 2015

  Today we launched our new reading reward scheme. Children had to solve clues to unlock the reading chest to discover what the new reading rewards would be.

   

  Reception children solved clues around school, whilst Year One and Two children spent the day at Upton Country Park to unravel the clues to unlock the treasure chest.

   

  One of our key aims is for our pupils to become confident and fluent readers, and through our reading reward scheme we hope to promote a love and  enthusiasm for reading.

  

• Community Mural Garden

  Wed 30 Sep 2015

  The great and good of the Upton community gathered together today to open the recently created Mural Garden.  All the local schools and preschools were represented along with Dame Annette Brooke, Michael Tomlinson MP and the Mayor of Upton June Richards.

   

  The murals that had adorned the Waypoints building site have been relocated alongside a landscaped seating area.  The local children had been asked to provide designs for the bin and Madison's picture (Ducks Class) was selected as a winner.

   

  Congratulations to all those involved in the project - another fine example of the tremendous community spirit that Upton is becoming renowned for.

  

• Urn 'n' Learn

  Fri 25 Sep 2015

  Today we held our first Urn 'n' Learn morning of the year where parents had the chance to spend a lesson with their child followed by a coffee morning in aid of MacMillan Cancer Support.

   

  We are always delighted to see so many parents and grandparents taking such an interest in their child's education and raising money for such a worthwhile cause at the same time. In total, £247 was raised. Thank you everyone for your support.

  

• School Council Elections

  Thu 24 Sep 2015

  The School Council Elections will be taking place on Friday. Nominees from each class have been busy campaigning to secure votes from their classmates. 

   

  Children have created posters, banners, leaflets, rosettes and balloons to promote their manifestos. All the candidates have shown themselves to be super ambassadors for Upton Infant School, but unfortunately only one school councilor from each class will be elected in Friday's ballot.

   

  Mid Dorset and North Pool MP, Michael Tomlinson, will officially appoint the school councilors in a special assembly on Friday 2nd October.

   

  Listen to the candidates manifesto pledges on our podcast page.

  

• Welcome back!

  Tue 08 Sep 2015

  We have had a super start to the new school, and the children have settled in brilliantly to their new classes. Our Reception children spent their first morning in school today and had a fantastic morning. As always, there is lots going on around school and  the exciting start to the year has even included visits from Mr Bump and  Neil Armstrong and we have even had the coronation of a  princess!

   

  Take a look at some of the photos below to see how our children have settled in to their new classes.
