Mills Meadow Carol Singing

The Worship Team along with some Year 6 children visited Mills Meadow yesterday to sing carols to the residents, we enjoyed our time together!  

Thank you for having us.

Stop Motion Fun!

RJKH have loved making stop videos in Computing over the last few weeks. 

Learning how to move the characters slowly and carefully to tell a story has been a really fun challenge and the children produced some brilliant short videos. 

Have a great Christmas and do watch the new Wallace and Gromit film to experience the wonder of stop motion! Here are some of our favourites:

Last Day of Term!

 We wish all our families a wonderful Christmas break!

The children return to school on Tuesday 7 January.

Festive Food Fun!

Each class has enjoyed a festive lunch in their classrooms today.  Many classes made eco-friendly hats to celebrate too. 

The sound of Christmas fills the Church

Year 3 and year 4 treated us to a beautiful Christmas carol service in St Michael's  Church.  The singing was angelic; the chime bars were very harmonious and the retelling of the story of the birth of Jesus was told by the year 4 children whilst the year 3 pupils acted out the story alongside the narrators.  

An alternative version of "Away in the manger" was sung so beautifully.  "Silent night" was magical with the chime bar introduction followed by the French rendition filling the church.   The congregation were in awe of the song "Gabriel" with the two part harmony which was breath-taking.  Thank you to all involved... it has certainly set us up for Christmas. 

 

 

 

 

Guess who has just visited us!!!

Pumpkin's cheery ways!

Pumpkin has enjoyed his first few weeks here at SRH and has visited the classes throughout the term.  He loves having cuddles with the children and they have adored meeting and holding him.  He even has his own collection of Christmas Cards!!   He has been such a wonderful addition to the school making lots of children and staff smile at his cuteness.  

Stained Glass Biscuits in VW

On Wednesday, VW had the chance to get creative with some Christmas baking, making their own stained glass biscuits. 

They measured the ingredients with care and prepared the dough. After shaping the biscuits, they carefully made a hole in the center to add a colourful glacier sweet, creating the stained-glass effect. 

A big thank you to Mrs. Jenkins for organizing the activity and to Mrs. Skeggs for her support.

Daily Mile Update

A big well done to the whole school for doing the daily mile on non-PE days this year. 

It has been a great success and a real positive vibe around the whole thing with lots of children asking teachers when they are doing the daily mile and talking about it with friends and other classes. 

Overall, the school ran roughly 200 miles. The winning class was MB with classes JA, JT, ES and KM coming in the top 5 overall rankings.

Dance in Year 3 & 4

This half term, Year 3 and 4 have been enjoying dance and improving their ball skills in their PE lessons. 

In RJKH, we enjoyed learning some Zumba dances and trying out ceilidh dancing. We think you’ll be impressed with our Circassian circle! The children worked very hard and are very proud of their performance.

Breaking News! Read all about it here!

RJKH had the most exciting visit yesterday afternoon! Having written wonderful newspaper articles about watching JT’s nativity last week, Miss Turner brought her class up to hear what we had written. It was a delightful experience for all as we reminisced together about the wonderful songs, the brilliant acting and the amazing costumes.

We loved sharing and celebrating everyone’s hard work together. JT finished by singing a rendition of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,” with RJKH then singing their version of “Away In A Manger,” to whet the children’s appetites for the Christmas Carol Service this Friday morning. We hope to see you there!

Hedging

We're really pleased with the new hedging along the perimeter on College Road, which has softened the aspect and overtime will fill out along the chain-link fence making a great difference.

Robin Wood - new plantation

Class VW and Class KM worked together planting some new saplings around the edge of Robin Wood.  The year 6 children helped the younger children as they placed the saplings into the holes and refilled them with soil.  Thank you to the Woodland Trust who kindly donated the trees:- Rowan, Hawthorn, Dogwood, Hazel, Wild Cherry, Elder and Silver Birch.
