Blandford Bridges run

I ran the Blandford Bridges 10k today. As a team of 20 runners we had a great day. It was a great team of staff, parents and governors.
Lots of runners running PB's.
Thank you to everyone who supported. There were lots of cheers all round the course.
Thanks to all those who ran, in particular Trevor Keep who organised the BSM team.
Thanks to all those who sponsored us.

Dads behaving dadly

2 grandads, 10 Dads, their children and Mr Lavis kindly gave up 2 hours of their time on Saturday morning to tidy up the grounds, move sheds and prepare raised beds for planting.
It was a great community morning.
Now all we need is a period of good weather so the children can plant some seeds and watch them grow.

Thank you to all dads, children and Mr Lavis.

Reach for the Sky

Wow!
What a fantastic show.
The subject matter was very apt, The Olympics.
Within this theme areas included the Ancient Olympics, LOCOG, how each athlete starts their Journey to the Olympics in PE lessons and the importance of participation.
The acting was great, the singing superb and the dance brilliant. All words were delivered clearly. The singing was loud and tuneful with lots of enthusiasm.
The choreography of the Olympic flame dance was amazing as was the timing and movement of the year 3 pupils who performed the dance.

The year 4 synchronised swimming dance was also amazing. Great choreography and delivery by the pupils.
All the pupils should feel extremely proud of themselves.

A big thank you to Mrs Harris and all the other staff involved for their time and effort directing the show.

Busy Wednesday

Year 1 children are studying L. S. Lowry during British Arts Week.
I was lucky to be with them on Wednesday morning when they were sketching local street scenes just as Lowry might have done.
Their sketches were pretty impressive.
Miss King has some talented artists in her class.
 
 
On Wednesday evening I was in school for a Governors Meeting.
We discussed school effectiveness and how the governors could contribute and support  the Head and his hard working staff.
It is going to be a busy half term, lots of outdoor activities happening over the next few weeks.
Let's hope the sun shine returns.
