• Christmas Performances

  Fri 18 Dec 2015

  What a fantastic two weeks of Christmas performances we have had. We have been delighted by the children's enthusiasm, loud speaking voices, fantastic dancing and super singing.

   

  Well done everybody - take a look at the photos to see some of the magic for yourselves. Happy Christmas!

  

• Christmas Panto

  Fri 18 Dec 2015

  Mr Helm decided that the last day before the Christmas break would be a good time to reinforce school behaviour expectations, so called everyone to a special assembly where he went on, and on, and on about sitting nicely, listening carefully, being polite etc...

   

  The staff had other ideas...

   

   

   

   

  

• Houses of Parliament

  Wed 16 Dec 2015
  The School Council had an exciting trip to London last week when they visited the Houses of Parliament.  During the trip they stood at the Dispatch Box, walked through the Central Lobby, learnt about the State Opening of Parliament.  They then met with Michael Tomlinson MP, who had invited the councillors for the visit, to have a question and answer session.. He later 'tweeted' about the quality of the children's questions.  For a full account of the trip have a look at the School Council page on the website.

  Congratulations to our Infant School Choir who sang recently at the Upton Community Carol evening by the clock tower.  They were joined by the Junior School Choir, Wareham Town Band and Jean de Garis for a celebration of Jesus' birth.  It was the biggest ever turn out from the community and whole event had some extra Christmas 'sprinkle' when Father Christmas arrived during the second verse of Away in a Manger.  Afterwards everyone headed to the Scout Hut for some well-earned mince pies.
