A week filled with chocolate, flowers, money matters, bikes and lots of fun.
Thank you all for your support with the non-uniform day today. You have contributed lots of chocolate items ready for the PTA’s Summer Fair on Friday 5th July.
Our next non-uniform day will be Friday 14th June, this time it will be for a bottle donation.
Yesterday RH walked to St Barnabas Church to plant Spring flowers as part of their Community project. If you are passing the church do look to see if you can spot the plants & flowers.
Well done to our Year 6’s this week. We hope they have all been able to relax and enjoy their celebration day today. We were thrilled that we had such favorable weather for them to enjoy the bouncy castles, games and treats marking the end of their SAT’s week.
As part of our work with HSBC, Anne has been in school this week working with our Reception, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3 and Year 4 pupils. Reception met Ed & Bunny, and the other year groups learnt about topics such as shopping sense, buying branded or unbranded goods, different ways to make payments, debit and contactless card payments and some classes had fun making rubbings of coins and took part in a treasure hunt.
43 of our Year 4 pupils completed level bikeability sessions this week. The instructors were really pleased with their enthusiasm and progress with this activity. We hope this was a valuable experience for those children who took part. Perhaps they could cycle to school next week!
Our school is taking part in Walk to School Week (20th – 23rd May 2024 and Monday 3rd June). The nationwide event is organised by walking charity Living Streets and designed to help pupils experience first-hand the importance of walking to school.
This year’s challenge, The Magic of Walking, encourages children to travel actively to school every day of the week. Meeting various magical beings along the way, they'll learn about the important reasons to walk and the difference it can make for individuals, communities and the planet! Each pupil will be challenged to travel sustainably (walk, wheel, scoot, cycle or Park and Stride) to school every day for one week using the wallchart and stickers to log their journeys.
Each class will work collectively to make as many active journeys to school as possible across the week. Individual activity diaries, daily stickers and end of week pupil rewards will complement this activity, reinforcing the benefits and keeping children engaged.
What do I need to do as a parent/carer? We would ask, if possible, to make arrangements so that your child/children can travel actively to school on week commencing 20th May, helping our school reduce congestion and pollution around the school gates.
In return, your child will earn special stickers and a reward trophy! Walking, wheeling, scooting and cycling all count! If you live far away from school and need to drive or take public transport, try parking the car ten minutes away and walking the rest of the journey.
Thank you for your support with this activity.
