• Oak Class explore the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra with some Midnight Magic!

  Tue 24 May 2022

  On Tuesday we were incredibly fortunate to be invited to take part in a concert organised by Bournemouth Symphony orchestra!

  BSO's free KS2 Schools Concerts were back with another specially themed concert featuring music inspired by the night time with a sprinkling of magic!

  The concert featured an exciting selection of music and took us all on a journey through the magical night. We explored the night sky, the marvellous moon and the stars through a variety of well-known and new composers such as William Grieg, Saint-Saens and Jessie Montgomery.

  There was also the premiere of James Redwood’s new participatory piece, Cant’ Get To Sleep, created with schools in the local area and built-in partnership with SoundStorm. We took part in this exciting project and performed the song accompanied by the full orchestra and complete with Makaton signs and body percussion. It sounded amazing!

  At the end of the concert, there was a special treat when the orchestra played the theme to the Harry Potter films - the children's faces were a picture.

  It was an utterly brilliant experience and a complete joy to share it together. The best quote of the day was from one of our Year 4s: "It's like being inside music."

  Just magical.

  

• Outdoor Club

  We are SO grateful to our amazing parents who have established our very popular Outdoor Club. Last week the children made Scarecrows. Then they sang "Dingle Dangle Scarecrow" and jumped out of the straw! What a fantastic afternoon they all had!

• Year 4 Reach New Heights at Osmington Bay!

  Fri 06 May 2022

  At the beginning of May, we took our amazing Year 4s to PGL at Osmington Bay in Weymouth for a three day residential. The weather could not have been more perfect and the children had an absolutely brilliant time. They challenged themselves to (literally!) reach new heights throughout their time away and impressed everyone with their courage, resilience and compassion towards each other. Thank you so much to our PTA and Governors for generously subsiding the trip again this year - we are so grateful to you. A huge well done Year 4 - we could not be prouder of you all.
