Roundwood Primary School

This morning, UKS2 enjoyed a fantastic Amazon workshop.

In small groups, the children built a motorised Lego robot that they then programmed to follow a specific path.

They demonstrated team work, creative problem solving skills and resilience in order to successfully programme their robot to follow a complex set of instructions.

Eid Mubarak to all our families who are celebrating!

Burwell update..

It is a cooler day at Burwell today. After a good nights sleep (yes,really) and a hearty breakfast, its time for the team challenges and Burwell Fox! We will be leaving at around 2pm and update you as to our time of arrival then.

An update from Burwell...

After breakfast the children split into two groups. One group are busy in the film studio this morning recording their news broadcasts and the other half are outside in the sunshine doing a real orienteering challenge and tackling the low ropes course.

Year 4 Burwell.

We arrived safety and are having map work fun in the sun- a gorgeous afternoon.

Our Reception children have been busy making Supertato out of clay. They shaped and painted their models, turning them into mini Supertatos. Then, using ChatterPix, we made our Supertatos talk. It was a lovely way to enjoy art and storytelling together.

Our staff fully embraced the magic of stories for World Book Week by dressing up as some of their favourite book characters! From classic tales to modern favourites, it was wonderful to see the creativity and enthusiasm across the school.

To end the week we have 4 more videos to share with you. Noami Wilkinson, children's presenter, Hacker The Dog, Sally Williams from ITV weather and Mickey Calllisto, Britain's Got Talent semi-finalist.

Pupils at Roundwood Primary were treated to a World Book Week assembly like no other this year, after Mrs Hooft reached out to national celebrities — and they responded in spectacular fashion.
Determined to make reading truly memorable, Mrs Hooft personally contacted well-known faces from television, sport and broadcasting, inviting them to share a special video message with the children. The result? A surprise line-up of stars appearing on the big screen in the school hall, each celebrating the joy and importance of reading.

Among those sending personalised messages were Hacker T Dog from CBBC, BBC news presenter Maryam Moshiri, Olympian Greg Cackett, George Webster from CBeebies, and broadcaster Nicki Chapman, to name just a few.

In their videos, recorded in between presenting live news bulletins, filming, broadcasting and even training and competing at the Winter Olympics, the celebrities shared their favourite childhood books, spoke passionately about why reading matters, and encouraged pupils to keep turning the pages. Some even joined in the fun by wondering aloud what costume they might wear if they were celebrating World Book Day alongside the children.

The assembly hall was filled with excitement as each surprise video played, with pupils delighted to see familiar faces speaking directly to them about books, imagination and ambition.

Today we share the videos of Abby Cook, Blue peter presenter and Dodge The Dog from CBeebies.
