Headteacher’s Comments:
What a wonderful day we had for our Sport’s Day on Tuesday,it seemed that
every one who was able to attend and encourage the children had an enjoyable
day, some parents even caught the sun!! Thank you to Mr Smith for organizing
the day and to all his helpers.
I hope that everyone could see what we aim to achieve with our Playground
Fundraising; open space just is not enough for the children, stimulation and activities are essential parts of their play . There is a lot of work going on behind
the scenes by the pupils and staff regarding fundraising, so if you have any ideas yourself please let us know, we might be able to use it.
Have an enjoyable half term break, we all need to charge our batteries and I
look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday 7th June.
Kind Regards Mrs Clare Tickel

Fred is from Bournemouth Tennis Centre in the town centre and also
teaches at other schools.

Trips for the Choir!
Our lovely School Choir will be entertaining folk from St Andrew’s Church on

Year 5 and Flautists trip to hear the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.
On Thursday May 19th, Year 5 plus those children from Years 3-6 that are learning
to play the Flute went to the Lighthouse Theatre for a Schools Concert by the BSO.
We had an amazing time. The children had learnt a song and a Body Percussion piece
to perform with the Orchestra and were also treated to hear such masterpieces as works
by Smetana, Stravinsky and Dvorak.
We were lucky enough to have front row seats so had the perfect view of the Orchestra performing “live”. All the children really enjoyed it and were heard to say
“It was brilliant”
again?” “
“I’m going to ask my Mum to take me to another concert” “Can we go
MUCH better than I thought it was going to be!”
How lucky we are in Bournemouth to have such a fine orchestra to perform for us.
Many thanks to the PFA who generously paid for the coach so that our children didn’t have
to pay any money at all.
Music Concert
On Thursday June 9th we have 4 members of the BSO coming to our school to perform a
concert for the whole school. Their concert “Digging up the Bones” will be a Musical History Tour and will feature performances on the Trombone, Post Horn, Didgeridoo and
Hosepipe!!! We are sure the children will be fascinated by what they see and hear.
Year 4 Ukulele Concert
Year 4 are enjoying their weekly Ukulele lessons and will perform a short
concert to their parents on Thursday June 23rd.
Summer Show
After school rehearsals are well under way for our Summer Production “Ye Ha”. All of our
KS2 children will be taking part and are having great fun learning all of the songs in their
music lessons. Please do mark the dates on your calendar:
Tuesday July 5th at 1.30 and 7pm and
Thursday July 7th also at 1.30 and 7pm.
Tickets will be released in the middle of June.
Year 2 entertains!
Year 2 will be visiting the “Open Door” Club at the Cornerstone Church on Wednesday July
6th. We also hope to arrange a short concert for the Year 2 parents, so they can hear the
songs the children are already singing so well.

Sports day Tuesday 24th May 2016
First of all, I would like to say a huge thank you to everybody who was involved with the running of sports day. A special thank you goes to our
three volunteers; Mr. Reeks, Miss. Mandale, Mr. Allnatt-Small and our
Young Sports Leaders who were instrumental in making the day run
smoothly. It was a fantastic occasion, made by the remarkable weather
and amazing support from parents throughout the day. The school are
extremely proud of all children as they participated competitively displaying excellent sportsmanship and effort in all events.
We hope that future sports days are as successful and enjoyable for the
children as this year.
Many thanks for all your support,
Mr. Smith
The pedometer KS2 challenge!
After recently receiving a number of pedometers, Mr. Smith has decided
to use them within P.E. lessons to track the amount of steps each pupil
takes. At the end of every lesson, the total number of steps will be recorded and after every 3 weeks a prize will be presented to children who
have made the most steps and progress (from previous lessons). We
hope that this incentive will motivate the children to become more active
within P.E. and increase their levels of fitness.

May, the month of Mary
On Friday, 13th May , we to had a beautiful May procession to honour of Our Lady, Jesus’ mother. We reflected on her important role in the life of Jesus and said one decade of the Rosary prayer together. Finally, each class processed up with flowers to surround a statue of Mary—a symbol of our thankfulness and love for her.
Our Queen of heaven, pray for us.
Thank you to all of you who brought flowers in for this special occasion.
Mrs Christopher
