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 2025-26.

• Harvest Festival

  Fri 11 Oct 2024 M Davis

  Voices rang out loud and clear in the school hall as we celebrated our Harvest Festival with Harvest songs of thanksgiving. 

   

  This year our theme was giving thanks. Each class provided a short presentation, and Harvest songs, both traditional and modern, were sung.

   

  Aqua Class showcased their learning in PSHE, RE and music by sharing the story of the Little Red Hen, who worked hard to grow wheat to make bread. Her lazy friends soon discover that hard work has its rewards when they discover she won't share her bread with them as they didn't share in the hard work it took to make it!

   

  Teal Class entertained us with another pop song with Harvest words. This year the music came from Queen - 'I want to grow beans' will ring in our ears whenever we hear 'I want to break free' on the radio!

   

  Cobalt Class shared with us words that could be made from the letters of the word HARVEST and what these mean to us at this time of year. 

   

  The Faith Council then talked about the important work of the Rutland Foodbank and thanked all of those who had made donations for this local charity. 

   

  Having sung 'Autumn Days', 'Amani Utupe', 'Harvest Samba', 'Bringing in the Sheaves' and 'Gather up the People, for we are His Harvest', we finished with a rousing rendition of 'Thank your lucky stars'. 

• RLT Cross Country

  Fri 04 Oct 2024 M Davis

  On Friday, Mrs Davis and Mrs Ranson accompanied 13 children from across KS2 who volunteered to take part in the RLT Cross Country competition. These are always hard-fought races, and it was lovely to have so many children willing to give it a go.

   

  After a little warm up with Mrs Ranson, and some sage advice about not starting too fast, the races took place on the Catmose College playing fields. Each year group ran chasing a 'hare' to try and help them pace themselves. We were very proud of all the children for digging in and keeping going, even when the going got tough. All of the children completed their race! With placings ranging from 6th to 36th in their respective year group races, we were very proud of all of the children. Not bad going when running against all the other Rutland RLT schools!

• Open Morning

  Tue 01 Oct 2024 M Davis

  On Tuesday we opened up the school to prospective parents looking for school places for EYFS in September 2025. It was lovely to be able to show parents round for a 'normal' school day, so that they could see what our school is like in action.

   

  If you were unable to attend, and would like to arrange a personal visit - please contact the office on 01572 812380 to arrange a show round.
