M&M Productions: Oliver Twist

We launched our Book Week celebrations a day early with an enthralling whole school production of Oliver Twist. Our students dove deep into the classic story, filling the school with a buzz of excitement and anticipation. This special event set the perfect tone for a week dedicated to exploring the wonders of literature and sparking a love of reading in every child.

Grand Unveiling of the Secret Garden Delights Parents!

A big shoutout to our resilient Eco Council for their engaging open-air presentation—a true test of their abilities! A heartfelt thank you to our Year 6 students who not only faced the weather but also served tea and coffee in the hall, connecting with many parents. The enthusiasm was contagious, and we're excited to witness the ongoing development of this captivating area. Special thanks to all the staff who dedicated hours to make this event memorable, and a shoutout to everyone who worked tirelessly to bring this garden to life!

Year 4: This Week's Mountainous Adventure

In Year 4 this week we were introduced  to our new topic, on the subject of mountains, by researching a different mountain range and creating a page for a class book based upon the style of ‘Atlas of Adventures’ by Lucy Leatherland. The children worked in pairs to research, write an introduction and design their page. They were instructed to make it colourful and bright with lots of interesting facts. We found out about mountains from five different continents and had a lot of fun being creative. We are now going to hone in on the Alps and compare that location with ours here in Rickmansworth. 

🌟 Club of the Week: Gymnastics! 🌟

This week we are spotlighting our Gymnastics Club. We run two sessions on a Tuesday afterschool.  Last week, our gymnasts showcased their teamwork, devising balances that required a unique combination of body parts to touch the ground— a test of coordination and cooperation, ensuring every member was interconnected in some way.

This week, we have two teams entered into the Three Rivers Key Steps competition.  This competition is for children who train less than two hours outside of school.  They have been working really hard with sessions before and afterschool since half term.  Good luck!

2024 - 2025 Term Dates

Consistent and regular attendance ensures that children benefit from continuous learning, build a strong academic foundation, and actively contribute to the classroom community. It fosters a collective educational journey, allowing for uninterrupted progress and shared experiences. Furthermore, consistent attendance minimises disruptions, as children missing learning need support to catch up, which can impact the flow of lessons and others' learning. Therefore, consistency in school attendance not only benefits the individual learner but also significantly enhances the collective experience of the classroom, ensuring a cohesive and supportive learning environment for all.
