Dear Families,
It has been a lovely first week back at Roselands. The children have enjoyed settling back in, getting to know their new team tables and starting their new Personal Development unit which is all about Dreams and Goals.ย A highlight of my week was visiting some Year 5 and 6 lessons and hearing about their dream jobs and how they plan to make their dreams a reality!ย ย
The letter last week should have given you lots of information about this term at school, but do please ask if you have any questions!ย

We pride ourselves on being a school that cares for its community, and that includes our neighbours on the surrounding roads. Recently, some residents on Porlock Way have been unable to access their own driveways due to school run parking.
If you are parking near the school, please double-check that you are not obstructing any entrances. If Porlock Way is busy, please consider parking slightly further away to keep the flow of traffic safe for everyone.

This week the KS1 children really enjoyed their hook English lesson that started their new instruction writing unit of learning. They had to work together to read and follow the instructions carefully to create a bowl of magic porridge. They worked brilliantly in their teams to mix the special ingredients which included unicorn hair, diamonds, crystals and a sprinkle of Wizard dust too!

A Huge Thank You to Our House Captains ๐
We would like to extend a special thank you to our hardworking House Captains, who have gone above and beyond over the last term. They have undertaken multiple tours for prospective parents and children, acting as the "face" of our school for families looking to join our community.
Our House Captains have showcased our school wonderfully, speaking with confidence, kindness, and genuine enthusiasm about their learning and experiences. They have been fantastic ambassadors, and the feedback from visitors has been glowing. You have made us all very proud - well done!
