Red Riding Hood

I know it is a week ago, but I came to the show, and thought it was marvellous.  The dancing and the singing were superb, and the characters all played their parts with real energy and conviction.  The set, costumes and technical stuff were all excellent, and the messages came through loud and clear.  Well done everybody!

I can't wait for the next one........

School Production - Little Red Riding Hood And The Wolf

For those of you that were unable to see the School Production of Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf, what a performance you missed! 


There were two fantastic performances last Thursday and Friday by the children of  KS2. I would like to say well done to all those that took part and to those involved with putting the production together. Fantastic!

Parent Governor Experience With KS1

Last week i spent a fantastic week with Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 and i would like to thank all the Teachers of those year groups for their time.


As a Parent Governor this gave me a great overview of the journey the children take at Blandford St Mary Primary School going from Early Years of Reception through to year 2.  


My week started with Reception and a visit to see Harold and the Life Bus. The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learnt about the human body, how it works and the importance of a healthy life style!


I spent 2 great days with Year 1 where they are currently learning about clocks and time. This theme is carried throughout all subject areas from numeracy, literacy and into their project based work. The children of year 1 were drawing some great pictures of various clock types, from the early Egyptian Sundials through to the modern day clock. They were also learning about time sequences and telling the time!


My last few days were spent in Year 2, who were learning about healthy living, exercise and the effects on the human body. The children of Year 2 put on a Fantastic Class Assembly on Friday 12th November with some great controlled dancing, which was followed by a coffee morning for the Year 2 parents with delicious cakes [made by the Children] & refreshments being served by the children. 


A Great Experience Had!
