Rivelin Primary School

School is closed for the summer holidays. We will see you all on Wednesday 2nd September ☀️

Just a reminder to parents and carers that our leavers assembly starts at 2pm tomorrow. Please make sure your child brings in a spare white t-shirt for the assembly and don’t forget your tissues! 🥹

On Wednesday, our Reception children performed their third and final Poetry Recital of the year!

Three times a year, we invite parents and carers into school to watch the children confidently perform a range of seasonal poems, celebrating the incredible progress they make in their communication, language and oracy skills throughout the year.

It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on just how far they have come. We are so incredibly proud of each and every one of them. 🥰

Y3 had a visit from a volcanologist yesterday! They learnt all about geoscience and the future careers they could have in that field; it was very inspiring! They even got to hold some rocks that came from volcanoes and some that were billions of years old! 🪨

Y2 enjoyed making and tasting their healthy wraps this week. They chopped, grated and scooped all the ingredients they needed to make their wraps.

The children in our Wraparound After School Club noticed lots of birds in the bush at the corner of the playground. They spent time watching them and talking about where the birds might find their food.

Mrs Eades encouraged the children to think of ways they could help, and together they decided to make a bird feeder! Using lolly sticks kindly brought in from home by Megan and Sam, along with some string, they carefully built their feeder and waited for it to dry.

Today, the children proudly hung it up and filled it with bird food. Now we’ll be keeping a close eye on it to see if any hungry birds come to visit! 🐦💚

Y6 (and staff) enjoyed their end of year water fight this afternoon. There were some very soggy children by the end of it 💦

Reception have had so much fun today on their Summer walk to the Rivelin Valley! They spotted signs of Summer, played in the park and had a picnic 🧺🛝🌻🌞

Some more photos of our fantastic Y6s in their production last week 🎬
