We had a wonderful visit from Bart Gee who really showed us how to turn challenge and difficulty into possibility. He showed us how from the age of four, when he was told he would never walk, how he did the shuffle to move across the room. He shared his story of how...

‘We held our Great Coronation Bake Off this week where each class had their instructions to come up with cake designs fit for a King! We had so many fantastic entries with a royal theme and these were then enjoyed with a cup of tea in true “street...
This morning our assembly welcomed Harry and Christian, 2 lifeguards from West Bay into our school. They shared with us how we can stay safe when we are at the beach. Read the captions to find out what we learnt. Thank you Harry and Christian for this useful talk....
The reception boys had fun in forest school. First we we spotted signs of spring in Cogden garden, where we found lots of snowdrops and daffodils growing. We then went and had fun playing on the bikes. We found a box of diggers and the boys worked together to make a...
No. When I was younger I had no idea what I wanted to be. I always fancied myself as a singer or dancer because I was always singing and dancing around the house. It drove my family mad!
Do you have any pets?
I used to as a child. I had 2 goldfish called Bit and Bot!! I also had 2 rabbits, although not at the same time. One was called Flopsy – she was a black and white fierce one. The other was a beautiful grey, placid rabbit called Binky!
What was your favourite book you read as a child?
I can remember buying a box set of Roald Dahl books for my 10th birthday and reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I had never seen the film so his descriptions of the chocolate room were completely magical to me. Eating blades of grass that tasted of mint? Wow!! I would read those pages over and over again.
Have you always lived in Dorset?
No, I was born and brought up in South West London, but I have lived in West Dorset for the last 25 years.
If there was one place in the world you could visit, where would it be?
Hmm, that’s a tricky one. I think it would have to be the Rocky Mountains of Canada when it’s snowing so that I could go sledging and skiing and all sorts of snowy activities before finishing off the day snuggled up by a real fire. Canada has lots of lovely powdery snow and the ski slopes are very big and wide (very useful for me because I’m not a great skier and often bump into people!).
So, is winter your favourite season?
Actually, no, it’s summer. I love being outside in warm sunshine and I really love light mornings and evenings. I love my garden too and summer is the best time to enjoy it.
What is your favourite colour?
Green – pistachio green mainly.
Do you have any hobbies?
I love gardening and visiting gardens but you may have guessed that I love watching musicals (including the old ones) and going to the theatre. Oh, and of course singing. I simply have to sing out loud when I hear songs I love.
Is there anything you are terrible at?
Drawing! Anyone who has been in my class will know that!
Give us a fun fact about yourself.
I have appeared in a pop video for about 2 seconds, but I’m not going to tell you which one!
