On Saturday evening, children from Year 5 and 6 represented THPS at the Bournemouth Schools’ Swimming Gala. Both teams were amazing and showed incredible team spirit. One of the Swim Bournemouth coaches even went out of the way to praise the quality of swimming and the impressive behaviour and team spirit. Year 6s’ relays had…

  We had an amazing World Book Day on Friday! We added our own theme and everyone dressed up as a character from a book that was  special to them. The costumes were all fantastic, but the stories behind them were even better.

Year 3 had a fantastic time when Portals of the Past visited today! They thoroughly enjoyed dressing up, acting out different events from Roman history, finding out LOTS of new facts and playing authentic Roman games. The best bit however, was holding authentic Roman artefacts – everyone was in awe!

This week, as part of Children’s Mental Health Week, we have been challenging ourselves to complete the tasks set daily by Alex Horne on Taskmaster Education. Imagine how excited we were today to receive this message! IMG 1030  

Year 2 have really enjoyed learning about mass today. They had so much fun measuring the ingredients to make Rice Krispie cakes and learnt a lot about measuring quantities accurately too! Maths is so much fun at THPS!

Our Reception children love to read and Mrs Haworth enjoyed storytime today. One of our youngest children came to share her reading book with her and he heard a lovely story about a missing hamster called Jaws read so fluently and with great expression!  

The children in Lower School love their weekly Pobble writing. They look at a picture together and then write their own story using the picture as inspiration. The children in Kindergarten are trying really hard to use their initial sounds and Reception are becoming superstars at using their phonetic knowledge to write their own sentences.

Reception and Kindergarten have been drawing their own self-portraits. They had to use mirrors to look carefully at their faces and then draw themselves. We think they did a very good job!  

Year 6 had a fascinating time dissecting owl pellets and discovering what they could find out about the diet of local owls. They were amazed by what they found, especially how recognisable and complete many of the bones that they uncovered were. Real hands on learning!

Lower School enjoy taking their learning outside and this week have been learning about repeated patterns in maths. What fun learning important mathematical skills in the sun!
