🛴 Scooters 🛴
We have noticed that some children have very similar scooters, which can sometimes lead to them accidentally taking the wrong one home.
Could you please help us by checking that your child is taking their own scooter at collection time. If possible, we would also appreciate it if you could label your child's scooter with their name. This will make it much easier for the children and staff to identify the correct scooter.
Thank you for your support and cooperation.

🎉Congratulations to our Dazzle Assembly winners 🎉

🌟 Year 1 Spotlight 🌟

📚 English
Inspired by Billy and the Beast, the children have been absolutely loving their writing. They’ve used their imagination brilliantly to create their own exciting stories, showing great creativity and growing confidence as authors.

🏃‍♂️ PE
Sports Week and Sports Day were a huge hit last term! The children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in a range of activities, showing fantastic enthusiasm, teamwork, and determination throughout. This term they are learning to play rounders and are taking part in a variety of team building games to help strengthen cooperation, communication and confidence as they prepare for their transition to Year 2.

💭 PSHE
We have been learning all about likes and dislikes and celebrating what makes each of us unique and special. The children have shown great maturity in sharing their thoughts and learning more about themselves and each other.

🎨🌈 Year 1 Colour Mixing Fun! 🌈🎨
Our Year 1 children had a fantastic time exploring colour mixing. They experimented with primary colours and discovered how to create new colours by combining them together. The children loved making predictions, testing their ideas and seeing the colourful results for themselves!

🌱 It’s been a year of incredible growth in Year 1 and the children are more than ready for the next step on their journey into Year 2!

We have an exciting opportunity to join our amazing team at RIS!

Please share far and wide!

✨Year 2 Spotlight ✨

Over the last couple of weeks, Year 2 have been engaging in exciting scientific investigations. They have demonstrated their curiosity by exploring and investigating the conditions necessary for plant growth. The children have excelled in asking insightful questions, making predictions, and conducting careful observations. As a highlight, they had the opportunity to grow their own plants before the half-term break, applying their learning in a hands-on manner. They all thoroughly enjoyed watching their plants grow.

Additionally, this week, students from Class 7 and Class 9 participated in a memorable school trip to Robinswood Hill. Class 8 will be going on there's this week, so we know they'll have just as much fun! During the visit, the children explored various living things and their habitats. They enjoyed a wildlife hunt, which allowed them to observe and identify different creatures in their natural environment. The trip also included pond dipping, where students discovered a variety of pond life, including some newts! They have all been brilliant scientists and have all engaged well with these units! Well done Year 2!
