Book & Biscuit

Our regular Book and a Bicuit events for Foundation Stage, Year 1 and Year 2, where we invite parents in to read with their children, have continued to prove popular allowing the relationship between home and school to further develop.

The heatwave couldn't put a stop to the most recent one as we transferred to the air conditioned hall. We look forward to these continuing next academic year.

Sports

We are incredibly proud of our Y5/ Y6 girls Cricket Team who won their Cricket tournament winning a fantastic 3 out of 4 matches resulting in them being invited to the finals were they played brilliantly again.  These girls have showed true commitment practising break and lunctimes for months in order to represent the school to the high standard they did.  Congratulations to you all on an amazing achievement.

Our Year 4 children attended the Skipping Festival where their weeks of hardwork and practice paid off as they achieved an abdunace of certificates for the differnt skills that they were able to demonstrate.  This was a truly inclusive event with all of our children able to demonstrate their new skills, which we hope that they continue sharing with us on the playground.

Mr Snaith (PE Lead) devised the school Sports Day featuring traditional races and sports as well as inclusive games such as 'seated basketball throw' included in the line up.  This allowed every child to be included, having the opportunity to compete with their peers in a suppotive but competitive environment where the pupils truly supported one another and put on a fantastice event for themselves and their parents/ carers. 

Transition

As part of our transisition to secondary this year a group of our Y6 SEND children have been working with Aspire for a number of weeks to explore their feelings about the transition, answer any questions they might have and aim to reduce their worries.  The key worker will then work with them at their secondary school giving them a familiar face after their transition. We also arrnaged tailored visits to Rawmarsh Comprehensive School for pupils and thier parents who would need extra suppot to manage the change from Primary to Secondary allowing them to meet key staff whilst having extra visits so their new school becomes familiar.  This gives all children the opportunity to truly thrive in their new setting.

The whole of Year 6 took part in a transition workshop held by With Me in Mind which allowed all pupils to have the opportunity to talk about how they were feeling about the big change coming up in their future. Although we will miss them all we wish them the best for their future and know that they will go on to bigger and better things achieving their full potential.

For the children who find change difficult when transitioning within school we have laid on extra visits to their new classrooms and lots of opportunities to meet their new teachers and support staff in informal ways so that they have less worries about the move in September allowing them all a successful transition.
