🎨 Year 1 have thoroughly enjoyed their Pop Art topic, inspired by the work of Keith Haring. The children explored Haring’s distinctive style and created some fantastic pieces of artwork based on his work. They used bold, bright colours, thick black outlines, and his famous movement lines to bring their creations to life.

We are incredibly proud of their creativity and the beautiful artwork they have produced. Well done, Year 1!

'The Dinosaur that Pooped the Bed' by Tom Fletcher & Dougie Poynter.

I liked the book The Dinosaur Who Pooped the Bed because it is very funny. I used to read it to my son every bedtime, and he would belly laugh so hard at the silly dinosaur. My favourite part was when the dinosaur made a big mess.

The pictures were colourful and helped tell the story. I enjoyed reading this book because it made us laugh together. I would recommend it to other families because it is fun and entertaining.

🚴 Year 5 have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in Bikeability training. Throughout the programme, the children learned important cycling skills and gained a better understanding of how to keep themselves and others safe when riding both around the school grounds and in the local community. They showed great determination as they developed their confidence and road awareness.

We are incredibly proud of all the pupils for completing the training. The instructors were particularly impressed by their resilience, enthusiasm, and positive attitude throughout the sessions. Well done, Y5!

🏃 On Friday 15th May, Y6 took part in the annual Rotherham School Games Colour Run at Rawmarsh Community School, raising money for Rotherham Hospice. After a busy week of SATs, the event was a fantastic opportunity for the children to celebrate, have fun, and enjoy time together. Everyone had an amazing time, and by the end of the run, there were plenty of colourful faces and big smiles!

A huge well done to all the pupils who took part and represented the school so brilliantly. We would also like to thank Rotherham School Games, Rotherham Hospice, and everyone involved in organising such a fantastic event. Well done, Year 6!

🏖️ Recently, Y6 enjoyed a well-deserved trip to Filey to celebrate the end of SATs week. During the visit, the children spent the day exploring the coastline, searching for creatures in the rock pools, and enjoying time together on the beach. They also had the opportunity to visit the amusements, buy souvenirs, and treat themselves to an ice cream.

Everyone had a fantastic day, and we were incredibly proud of the way they represented the school throughout the trip. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate all of their hard work and achievements during SATs. Well done, Year 6 – we hope you made lots of special memories!
