• Science Day

  Fri 21 Mar 2014

  Our Science Day proved to be a very exciting event.  The children were invited to dress as scientists for the day and even some of the staff joined in!  The day began with a futuristic assembly lead by Miss Monaghan alongside some willing assistants.  To the delight of the children Space Zog returned in his spaceship to talk to the children about life in 2114.

   

  Throughout the day the children carried out experiments, designed and made vehicles of the future and generally had a lot of fun learning about being a scientist.  Some of our Year Two pupils were invited to spend the afternoon at Lytchett Minster Secondary School where they used their ‘proper’ science labs to carry out their investigations.

  

• Pancake Race

  Tue 04 Mar 2014

  An event steeped in tradition and old rivalries, the annual Upton Infant School Pancake Race took place today. This year's event was an epic battle between the year groups as they fought to rescue Curlylocks in the quickest time.

   

  Reception, in the guise of 'The Baby Bears' finished in third place.

   

  Year Two as 'The Daddy Bears' came in second.

   

  Year One - 'The Mummy Bears' - finished in the quickest time, lifting the coveted Upton Infant School Pancake Race trophy for their first time.

   

   

  Well done to all the teams, but particularly to 'Curlylocks' (also know as Miss Card, our super Poole SCITT Teaching Student) who had to endure three rather cold and soggy pancakes!

   

   

  

• Cinderella's Ball

  Sun 16 Feb 2014

  Valentines Day was an exciting day for our Reception children as they were all guests at Cinderella's Ball. They dressed up in their best Prince and Princess outfits, dazzled and danced for the end of their 'Enchanted Tales' topic.

   

   

  Thankfully, everybody made it home on time and nobody turned into a pumpkin.

• Monster Maths Day

  Thu 13 Feb 2014
  On Wednesday 12th February we held our Mega Monster Maths Day.
  
  Some strange monsters visited to find out what maths was all about, and the children spent the day carrying out maths activities with a real life context.
  
  A new maths reward scheme was launched - when children have reached their maths target, they will receive a Monster Maths keyring.
  
  Take a look at the photos below to see what we got up to.

• Carol Concert

  Wed 18 Dec 2013

  On one of the stormiest evenings of the year, lots of families braved the elements to come along to the year Two Carol Concert. All afternoon the wine had been mulling in readiness for the Year Two children's seasonal sing-song.
  
  The evening began with the a few rousing carols played by the superb Broadstone Community Band. Then it was the turn of the children, who entertained the crowd with poetry and Christmassy Songs and also accompanied Mr Cole and Mrs Gdesis in a fantastic rendition of Hallelujah.
  
  Thank you to everyone who came along and supported this lovely event. We must also thank the many members of staff who gave up their time to prepare.
  
  A very merry Christmas from all of the Year Two staff.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  

• Reception Dazzle

  Tue 17 Dec 2013
  Today saw the Reception classes perform their Christmas Production 'Christmas Recipe' to their parents in two performances.
  They did exceedingly well and the audience were enthralled by their superb singing, dazzling dancing, amazing acting and wonderful words.
  
  
  Here is an email we received from some Grandparents following their viewing of Monday's dress rehearsal...
  
  Yesterday we had the great pleasure of watching our grandson in 'A Christmas Recipe'. We were very proud of him but the reason for writing is to let you know how much we appreciated all the hard work put in by Mrs Elliott, Mrs Marsh, Mrs Gdesis and all the teaching assistants. To see 90 very young children all enjoying themselves and being so well behaved was a real privilege. Very well done to everyone. We hope you all have a happy and restful Christmas. Kind regards
  George and Beryl Salmon
