On Tuesday 28th June, 16 of our wonderful Year 3 and 4 athletes took part in the Quad Kids Athletic Event at Sir John Colfox School in Bridport. Many schools from the Bridport and Beaminster area took part. The pupils participated in 4 events; Standing Long Jump, Vortex Howler throw, 60m Sprint and 400m run. They then took part in a baton relay while all the scores were being accumulated.

Our A team came 3rd overall and all received bronze medals plus certificates along with our superb B team. Congratulations.

Thank you to all the parents that supported us at this event.

22.6.22 – Yesterday, Year 5, staff and helpers set off at 8-30am for the WOEC centre in Weymouth.

After a safety briefing, the children got into wet-suits, helmets and buoyancy vests before being transported to the sailing area. The children were in fun boats in groups of 2 or 3 and towed out around the pier by the rib boat. They were shown how to put up the sail and steer. They all had a fantastic time sailing around in the calm waters of Weymouth. At the end of the session, they were all allowed to jump into the sea if they wished which involved much laughter and splashing.

After returning to the centre, the children showered and changed then ate their lunches. They then took part in centre based activities including: wall climbing around the hall, then rock climbing outside in harnesses where all the children learnt about the ropes and safety aspects and how to operate the ropes. Back inside, the children tried out the tunnels having to follow animal trails with their head torches on and again supporting and encouraging their friends. After this, we went back into the main hall and tried the high steep walls in harnesses. Lots of our wonderful children climbed the walls and learnt how to abseil down safely.

The coach journey back was much quieter with lots of them sleeping after such a busy, fun-filled day.

I am so delighted that so many of them faced things they had never done before and conquered so many fears.

A brilliant day for us all.

Parrett and Axe school and PTFA would like to say a big thank you to all of those businesses sponsoring our Fayre on 25th June 

On the 25th January 24 of our wonderful children took part in the Cross-Country relays at Sir John Colfox. All children ran superbly and supported each other as always. Our year 3/4 A team came in 2nd narrowly missing out on 1st position. Our B team came in 6th followed by our C team that came 8th. Year 5/6 A & B teams were highly successful in gaining 1st and 2nd positions closely followed by our C team coming in 4th. We were presented with 4 cups, 16 medals and we share the overall winners shield with St Catherine’s. A fabulous accolade for our pupils and school.

32 of our wonderful children took part in the first cross country event of this year at Beaminster Comprehensive. All children ran superbly and were awarded 5 cups, a shield plus many medals for their running. The ground was extremely wet and muddy but all children ran with great enthusiasm. It is always so lovely to see how our children
support each other by running alongside them and cheering each other on.

A special mention for all the children that have never participated before and to the parents who gave up their time to transport our children to this event. Thank you also to Mr and Mrs David who have been running training sessions for our pupils and to Mrs Karen Reeve who took the fabulous photographs you can see below.

We were invited to take part a Christmas tree decorating competition at Beaminster St Mary’s Church. The School Council decided that we should have an overarching theme of presents this year, so each class made and decorated Christmas boxes. KS2 made geometry nets and KS1 used recycled materials. The judges declared us the winners and we have been given a financial contribution to school funds.
