Read below to find out more about some of the different activities we have been getting up to; from sporting and musical activities, to visitors and 'wow' days. We are looking forward to helping our children 'explore and grow' further in 2023-24.

• Harvest Festival

  Fri 29 Sep 2017 M Davis

  It was lovely to have so many parents and grandparents join us in the school hall for our Harvest Festival Celebration on Friday afternoon. As well as fabulous singing (as always) it was great to have all the children standing up and adding their own work via their class contributions.

   

  Class 1 showed off their singing skills in our songs about farms and harvest. Sung to well-known tunes, with some enthusiastic actions, our youngest children were all keen to show the rest of the school and our visitors what we had been learning. 

   

  Class 2 livened up proceedings with their 'Harvest Rap' and some funky moves!

   

  Class 3 provided the more thoughtful part of our celebration with some prayers based on words found within the word HARVEST such as 'share' and 'have'. They also explained the work of the Foodbank, both in Rutland and further afield, in supporting those who are less fortunate than ourselves. 

   

  The Harvest Festival finished with the Harvest Rock and Roll - and some even went out still singing!

   

  Thank you to all those that were able to attend, and to all those who have contributed towards the Rutland Foodbank. 

• Year 3/4 Football Tournament

  Wed 27 Sep 2017 M Davis

  A huge congratulations to the year 3/4 children who represented the school at the RSSP Football tournament. Miss Bevins said that you were all fantastic - not only playing well, but also showing good teamwork and good sportsmanship.

   

  With one game won, and one game lost, we are through to the final in November. Our resident staff football expert will be doing some extra training at lunchtimes to hone skills in the next month or so,  so that we can show what we are made of in November. 

   

  Watch this space!

• Year 2 RLT Art Day

  Tue 19 Sep 2017 M Davis

  Year 2 went on an artistic adventure on Tuesday with all of the year 2 children from the other RLT schools. What a great day!

   

  Hosted at Langham school, the children took part in a number of activities  and were able to explore their artistic skills in different areas and to work alongside others to create their own works of art.

   

  A huge thank you to Mrs Rowland for organising the event. We look forward to taking other year groups to join with the RLT schools for some other activities during the year.

   

   

  

• Wall Hanging

  Thu 07 Sep 2017 M Davis

  Mrs Ford popped in yesterday to bring our completed wall hangings made through our art project in the Summer term. The first one is up, and looks beautiful (photographs attached). This incorporates our Christian Values and the 6Rs of learning as well as the children's handprints.

   

  The second hanging is made up of the children's representations of the school in felt and will hang above the serving hatch in the hall.

   

  Once both are safely installed we will invite parents and the community in to come and see them in situ.

   

  Thank you again to Mrs Ford for sharing her expertise, and to the Rutland Arts Society for funding the project.
