CYM make a surprise visit

The Staff from CYM made a surprise visit to see our Year 6 pupils during their last week here at SRH.   The children were so excited and so pleased to see them and sang them one of the songs that they performed at the leaver's service. 

Thank you to CYM for making some amazing memories for our year 6 pupils.

Year 6 Leavers service

After what has been an amazing year for our year 6, they have come to the end of their Primary School journey. 

They hosted an amazing Leavers service packed full of their memories over their time at Sir Robert Hitcham's at St Michael's Church.  Reverend Chris Davey gave the children a special blessing and Mrs Cann wished them well as they start the next chapter of their lives. 

All the teaching staff are very proud of them all.   

We wish them all a happy and successful move to High School in September.

BattleKids

 To help us learn coordinates in maths, Mr Snowden and Miss Dineen played a modified version of the game Battleships using the class as 'ships'. A 6x6 grid was drawn on both playgrounds and half the class assembled on each in order to line up as ships. The children then took turns to select coordinates to attempt to 'hit' and 'sink' their opponents boats. We used a paper grid help us plot our successful guesses and near misses to help us plan out our next attempt. We used a colour code to see where we had guessed before giving our next coordinates. Miss Dineen and Mr Snowden then used walkie-talkies to communicate our coordinates across the playgrounds.  

"I liked how creative it was using the playgrounds." Amelia

"It was really fun, I really enjoyed it." Isabella

"I liked how we worked together as a team." Callum

"It was a really nice way to spend the morning." Zara

Friends - Thank You for a tremendous Year!

As the 2023/24 academic year comes to a close, The Friends would like to take this opportunity to thank all the parents, volunteers & staff who have helped make this year such a success - we have smashed our £8,000 target and raised an incredible £11,093.

Thanks to your support, we have funded two experience days for the whole school - First Aid course and Bassistry Arts Drumming workshops.  We have contributed towards the Year 6 London trip and resources for the Foundation and KS1 years.  We have bought art drying racks, camera tri-pod and carpet for the Nurture hub, plus our usual yearly donation of £150 per class for teachers to purchase supplies for their classroom.

A huge thank you to all our volunteers, we couldn’t do this without you.  Thank you for helping us sweep up the popcorn, hand out hotdogs in the dark, put gazebos up and man the fete stalls in the rain.  Our success has depended upon you and your families and we hope our events are creating lasting memories for your children.

Please keep and eye out for our next events and our annual AGM in October. 

Sporting Day

On Wednesday, Framlingham Sir Robert Hitcham's celebrated sports with a new event - our Sporting Day.

The children came dressed as their sporting hero’s and experienced a whole day of sports - Handball, Dance, Tennis and playground games.

A highlight for a lot of the children was the 'Waka Waka' Dance. They had a well-deserved break in the middle of the day back in their classrooms where they spoke about the Olympics, Euros and Wimbledon.

It was a really successful day and the children thoroughly enjoyed it - we hope we can make this an annual event.

Sport Games SILVER Mark Award Success

We are delighted to announce that we have achieved the School Games SILVER Mark Award for the 2023/24 academic year. 

The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success. 

Please check back through our school blog or Facebook page to see all our Sporting  successes throughout the year. 

With many of our children competing in local inter-school competitions this year, we are extremely proud of them for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible. 

As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.

Music is in the air!!!

We have been treated to a wonderful array of musicians and singers in our special music assembly.  Some were beginners and others were more accomplished and wow .... what talent we have at SRH!!  Congratulations to all the children who played an instrument or sung in front of everyone.  They all showed great bravery and it was very lovely to see such a range of talents being displayed.  Well done.  

Cinderella Rockerfella - What a Show!

Last night was the final performance of the Year 6 production "Cinderella Rockerfella" - and what a show stopper it was!

The performance was sparkling with so many stars!  Big congratulations to all the Year 6 children - from those front of stage who performed so brilliantly to those behind the scenes who kept everything running so smoothly.

We are sure this week has been one the children will always remember & we are sure all the families in the audience on Weds & Thurs will cherish the memory of the performances too.

Thank you to Mr Byer for the fantstic photographs - there will be many more on the website gallery to follow.
