French Extravaganza Over the past seven years St Andrew's Primary has prided itself on the opportunities provided for our children to begin to learn a foreign language.

As a footnote, it was with the greatest pleasure that I received communication from the Gryphon School that informed me of the nomination of 4 past pupils to begin a Latin course in September. All have excelled in French and their competence is is no small measure due to the work done here at St Andrew's. |

Four Goal Thriller! 25th November 2004 St Andrew's were beaten at home by William Barnes, Sturminster last night. The team played excellently and have a chance for revenge in the return leg on 2nd December.
Match Report
The "A" team from Sturminster Newton came to our school on the 25th November and produced one heck of a game. In the first half the two sides were fairly evenly matched until Yetminster came onto the counterattack thanks to a marvellous pass by Tom James which found James Readfearn in a yard or two of space and he converted a spectacular rocket shot which thundered into the top right hand corner. After that a sloppy Yetminster goal kick led to a Sturminster chance which they took in style. Half time score 1-1. After the break two subs took place, Toby Dennett (Man of Match) came off for Chris Justice and Ed Clark for Michael Griffin. But alas, unfortuanately afterwards we conceded two goals.Full time score 1-3.
By Chris Justice and Toby Dennett |
Fruity Day On Wednesday 24th November we launched our Fruit and Vegetable initiative by holding a 'fruity' day which was full of healthy eating activities for all.

If the first day is anything to go by, the initiative will be a great success. See the Activities page for photos of the day. |  |
