A Fond Farewell
A Fond Farewell
Dear Parents and Carers,
This will be my last ‘Round Up’ so I want to praise the children for trying to ‘Be the Best They can Be’.
They try to keep the school’s values of Friendship, Respect, Excellence, Determination, Inspiration, Courage and Equality. Their attitude to working hard and also enjoying school, is a joy to be seen.
Even though I am retiring, I hope that the school’s beliefs will continue for years to come. These values will hopefully set the children on a path to happiness and achievement and they will become good citizens in this ever changing world.
I would also like to thank you as Parents and Carers for working together with us and valuing what we are trying to achieve for our young people. Our school community is very special and it gives me pleasure so see families mixing together and valuing the school for its diversity. I shall miss you all but look forward to starting a new adventure.
With love and best wishes for the future,
MsLoosemore
Year 3 Visit Wallace Collection
On the 3rd and 4th of March Year 3 visited the Wallace Collection as part of our learning about Ancient Greece in Literacy, Art and History. We travelled into central London on the Jubilee line and walked from Bond Street station to the Museum. We did a fun workshop where we got to draw some of the beautiful paintings and furniture in the Museum and learn more about some of the myths we had studied. We also got to look around the museum at some of their amazing sculptures, paintings and furniture.
World Book Day
We had a fantastic World Book Day celebration at our school! This years theme was "Go All In". The school turned into a storybook land, with children dressed as their favourite book characters. It was a day filled with fun!
A big highlight was seeing so many dressed as "Harry Potter" characters, with glasses, capes, and magic wands. It felt like Harry, Hermione, and Ron had come to life! Besides costumes, the children got creative by making badges featuring their favourite books.This led to lots of exciting book chats and story sharing. The day was lively with fairy tale music, laughter, storytelling, and games. Everyone's creativity was amazing!

Bikeability
Children recently took part in Bikeability training, giving pupils the opportunity to develop essential cycling skills and learn how to stay safe on the roads.
Throughout the programme, children were taught how to check their bikes to ensure they were safe to ride. They practised key skills such as signalling, positioning and awareness of their surroundings.
The training also helped pupils to understand the importance of road safety, including how to share the road responsibly with other users. Under the guidance of trained instructors, the children built their confidence step by step, progressing from basic control to more advanced cycling techniques.
Bikeability was a valuable and enjoyable experience for the children, equipping them with lifelong skills and helping them to stay safe while cycling both in and out of school.
A Historic Day for 4J and 4R at the Houses of Parliament: Learning How the UK Is Governed
4J and 4R had an amazing and memorable visit to the Houses of Parliament. During our trip, we learned about the important people who work there and discovered how the UK Parliament is made up of three parts: The House of Commons, The House of Lords and The Monarch.
We also explored some fascinating historical facts. For example, we learned why the House of Lords has red chairs, while the House of Commons has green chairs and that Members of the House of Commons are elected by the public, whereas members of the House of Lords are selected.
One of the highlights of the trip was seeing the stunning River Thames from the Parliament building, which made the experience even more special. We also discovered that the famous Big Ben is actually the name of the bell, while the tower itself is called the Elizabeth Tower.
It was a real privilege for 4J and 4R to explore the historic Westminster Hall, which was once used by Henry VIII for grand feasts and celebrations and to walk up the impressive King’s Stairs.
After the tour, we took part in an engaging workshop where we worked in groups, completed quizzes and reflected on everything we had learned about how Parliament works.
Overall, it was an unforgettable and inspiring experience for both classes and we all came away with a much better understanding of how decisions are made in the UK.
Cooking, Creativity and A Perfect End to the Spring Term!
Year 4 rounded off the spring term in style with a hands-on Design and Technology lesson that was both fun and rewarding. As part of their learning the children designed and made their own enchiladas, putting their cooking skills into practice.
Throughout the session pupils explored what makes a healthy, balanced meal while developing key techniques such as chopping, mixing and assembling ingredients. The classroom was full of excitement as everyone worked together to create their dishes.
The final results were impressive. Each enchilada was packed with vegetables, beans, cheese and a rich tomato sauce. Most importantly the children thoroughly enjoyed tasting what they had made.
This practical experience was a fantastic way to combine teamwork, creativity and essential life skills. It provided a memorable and tasty end to the term!
End of an Era - Farewell Ms Loosemore
The children recently came together to celebrate the retirement our wonderful Headteacher Ms Loosemore, marking the end of an incredible chapter in the school’s history.
To honour her remarkable contribution, each year group took part in a very special assembly filled with heartfelt tributes. Pupils shared beautiful poems, expressing their gratitude and appreciation for everything she has done. One of the standout moments was Matteo’s wonderful piano performance and Gabriel's heartfelt poem.
The assembly concluded with a touching rendition of Cover Me in Sunshine, a fitting tribute to someone who has brought so much warmth and positivity to Roe Green. It was a powerful reminder that, although she may be retiring, her influence and spirit will always remain a shining presence within the school.

4S took the school on a wonderful journey about Easter. The pupils retold the important events of the Easter story, beginning with the betrayal of Jesus by Judas. The children showed great confidence as they performed, bringing the story to life with sensitivity and respect.
The assembly continued by exploring the events that followed, leading to the powerful message of hope when Jesus rose from the dead three days later. Pupils highlighted why Easter is such an important celebration for Christians around the world.
Throughout the performance the children demonstrated excellent teamwork, speaking clearly and supporting one another on stage. It was a beautiful and meaningful assembly, and a truly wonderful way to bring the term to a close.
5R - Macbeth Class Assembly
5R recently delivered an impressive and engaging assembly based on William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, showcasing both their creativity and understanding of the classic play.
The pupils worked hard to bring key scenes to life, confidently performing in front of their audience. Through powerful acting and clear narration, they explored the main themes of ambition, power and consequence. Their performances captured the dramatic tension of the story, particularly in the scenes involving Macbeth’s rise to power and the influence of Lady Macbeth.
The children should be extremely proud of their efforts. Their assembly was a fantastic celebration of their learning and a wonderful example of confidence, collaboration and creativity.
A Trip To Wembley Stadium
Year 5 recently enjoyed an exciting and memorable trip to Wembley Stadium, where they took part in a range of fun and interactive activities within the stadium’s learning zones.
The visit provided pupils with a unique opportunity to explore one of the most iconic sporting venues in the country while engaging in educational exercises designed to develop teamwork, problem-solving and communication skills.
Pupils also had the chance to learn more about the history of the stadium and the many memorable events it has hosted. Walking through the stands and imagining the roar of the crowd gave them a real sense of what it might be like to play or manage at such a prestigious venue.
The trip inspired many of the children, with plenty already dreaming of returning one day as a future England player or manager. It was a fantastic experience that combined learning with fun leaving Year 5 with lasting memories and plenty of inspiration for the future.
Using OS Maps to Navigate: Future Orienteerers
Year 5 have been developing their geographical skills through the use of Ordnance Survey (OS) maps, gaining a deeper understanding of how to read and interpret real-world locations.
During their lessons, pupils learned how to identify key map features, including symbols, grid references and contour lines. They explored how these elements help people navigate and understand different landscapes, from urban areas to the countryside.
The children took part in a range of practical activities, using OS maps to locate landmarks, plan routes and describe physical and human features. These hands-on exercises helped to build their confidence and encouraged them to think like real geographers.
Pupils also developed their problem-solving skills by working in teams to complete map-reading challenges. They demonstrated great enthusiasm as they applied their knowledge to find specific locations and follow directions accurately.
5S - Dragons Den Assembly
Using the gadgets that they designed and wrote about during their study of ‘Alex Rider: Stormbreaker’, the children of 5S presented their class assembly. They did so in the style of ‘Dragons’ Den’ while giving it a James Bond themed twist! Our ‘spies’ presented 5 new gadgets to the intimidating Dragons’ and all the children at RGJS voted on their favourite one.
Science Expirements
5G recently took part in an exciting science investigation, demonstrating curiosity, teamwork and excellent scientific thinking.
The pupils worked collaboratively to plan and carry out their investigation, beginning by making predictions about what they thought would happen. They carefully discussed their ideas and considered how to ensure their test was fair, identifying the variables they needed to control and the one they would change.
During the experiment, the children showed great focus and enthusiasm as they observed changes, recorded their results and supported one another. They used a range of scientific skills, including measuring, observing and analysing, to gather accurate data.
Once the investigation was complete, 5G reflected on their findings, comparing their results with their original predictions. They discussed what they had discovered and considered whether their results were reliable, suggesting ways the investigation could be improved in the future.
Overall, it was a fantastic example of practical science in action. The children should be very proud of their efforts, showing a real passion for learning and a strong understanding of how to work scientifically.
Inspired by Computers
Year 5 have continued to build on their computing knowledge through an exciting focus on physical computing and flat-file databases.
As part of their physical computing unit, pupils explored how hardware and software can work together to create interactive systems. They engaged in hands-on activities, using devices to understand inputs, outputs and how simple programs can control physical components. This practical approach helped to deepen their understanding of how technology operates in the real world.
Alongside this, Year 5 developed their knowledge of flat-file databases. They learned how data can be organised into fields, records and how databases can be used to store, search and sort information efficiently. Pupils enjoyed creating their own simple databases using different criteria to filter and analyse data.

Roe Green Taste First League Defeat of The Season
Roe Green Taste First League Defeat of The Season
On the 4th of March, Roe Green faced St Robert Southwell in what proved to be a difficult fixture, marking their first defeat of the league season. The match ultimately ended in an 8–1 loss. This was a result that did not fully reflect the effort shown by the team under challenging circumstances.
Roe Green were significantly impacted by the absence of several key players through injury, forcing changes to the squad. As a result, debuts were handed to Mason and Annay, both of whom displayed admirable courage and determination throughout the match despite the tough opposition.
The game began brightly for Roe Green, who took the lead and showed early promise. However, as the match progressed the momentum shifted. St Robert Southwell capitalised and managed to take control of the game.
Despite the heavy scoreline, Roe Green continued to battle and demonstrated resilience and team spirit until the final whistle. While the result was disappointing, there were still positives to take from the performance in particular the contributions of the debutants.
