Our Year 6 children delivered three awesome performances this week, each to audiences in excess of 200.
We are so grateful to Framlingham College for the use the fabulous Headmaster Porter Theatre, enabling the children to deliver a professional all singing, all dancing production. Special thanks to Tom Howard for his support with the sound, lights and staging.
Well done to all the children for their dedication to learning their lines, songs and stage directions, and huge thanks must go to all the Year 6 teachers and support staff for their hard work to bring this production to the stage.
The audiences of parents, relatives and our school children and staff were engaged and captivated by our talented Year 6 children.
More photos are on the website gallery Framlingham Sir Robert Hitcham's CEVA Primary School - Photo Galleries and the recording of the production will be shared directly with the Year 6 families next week. Our thanks also go to John Byer for taking these great photos of the production.
Over the past week, RJKH have been fortunate to have two very special language lessons from wonderful guests. Last Thursday, Bella, a Year 10 student from Thomas Mills High School, taught the pupils numbers in German and engaged them with interesting facts about the country.
Today, we have been fortunate enough to have a Malaysian visitor, who taught our pupils greetings, and numbers in Malay. We also learnt fascinating facts about food, animals and cultural expectations. We learnt that it is polite to stand until the pupil is at the front of the classroom. It has been an amazing few days of language learning. Thank you so much to Mrs Lucas, who has made this all happen for us!
Our incredible team of Friends delivered another wonderful Summer Fete for our school family tonight.
A beautiful sunny evening on our huge school field, full of laughter & fun, along with a super tasty bbq, chilled pimms, games, stalls, talent contest and so much more.
Thank you to the hardworking Friends committee and to the raft of volunteer parents and staff who helped set up & run the stalls. It couldn’t be done without all your efforts.
The Friends Summer Fete takes place on the school field tomorrow after school.
Please take a look at the attached posted for more information.
Please be mindful of our school neighbours, and avoid parking in Coucy Close tomorrow, thank you.
Sarah from the Dentaid Charity and Brightbites visited the school today to deliver workshops about keeping your teeth healthy. She visited Nursery, Years 1, 2, 3 and 4 to talk to the children about cleaning teeth; naming teeth, advice on toothbrushing, exploring sugar awareness and the importance of visiting a dentist regularly. They learnt songs too to help sing when looking after the teeth and they were all given a toothbrush and toothpaste. The children all listened really well and had some great questions that Sarah was able to answer.
Year 5 have had an exciting morning today as artists learning how to use a potter’s wheel and make clay tiles.
Katie and Mary-Anne kindly offered their expertise and equipment to teach Class JA and ES some fantastic new skills.
Using a potter’s wheel was an experience that everyone was excited about, and each child got the chance to throw their own pot and add a spiral glaze.
Stencils were used to create patterns on the tiles with coloured glazes. The tiles now need to be fired; we can’t wait to see the results.
Once the tiles are completed, we hope to create a year group masterpiece for everyone to see.
Thank you very much to Katie (from Katie's Pottery Studio, Leiston) who supplied all the materials and equipment, and will now spend many hours glazing and firing all the wonderful creations for the children. Thank you to both ladies for their time and expertise today, we are so grateful!
