On Thursday 5th March, the children at school spread much joy and excitement as they dressed up to celebrate World Book Day. The children came in fantastic costumes as characters from their favourite books, bringing lots of fun and colour into the school. There was a wonderful array of characters from many different books and historical periods. All the children looked fantastic, as we’re sure you will agree! Thank you to our parents, guardians and carers for your generosity, we raised £140.58 for WaterAid.
On Monday 2nd March, the Year 5 pupils took part in a Tudor Toys workshop which saw them make a woodpecker toy that moved down a thin pole. The pupils learnt about different aspects of Science, Engineering, Mathematics and Technology in order to create these toys. They all thoroughly enjoyed making their beau-tifully coloured individual woodpeckers and were very excited to show off their hard work to all their friends, parents, guardians and carers!
A huge thank you to all the parents, guardians, carers and children who participated in NSPCC Number Day on Friday 6th February.

Your continued support helps make a real difference!!
On Tuesday 3rd February, some of our Year 5 pupils travelled to the OVO Arena to take part in the Young Voices concert. The pupils have been rehearsing hard since October last year. The children continued to show their determination and dedication to the choir all the way through. Their hard work was rewarded and paid off when they are able to perform at the OVO in front of thousands of audience members. The pupils were swept away with the electric atmosphere at the OVO, showcasing their dance moves to the best of their ability and singing at the top of their lungs. It is fair to say, everyone that attended the choir had the best time and thoroughly enjoyed the entire concert.
As part of their Ancient Egyptian topic, our Year 4 pupils travelled back in time with an amazing archaeologist to explore the lifestyle and dress of the Egyptians. They were eager and enthusiastic to handle a range of fascinating and unusual artefacts. The pupils were dressed in fantastic outfits and armour fit for a pharaoh, his warriors, farmers, a high priestess and an Egyptian family. They were highly engaged in discussions and role-play throughout the workshop, making it a truly unforgettable Egyptian experience!
On Thursday 22nd January, pupils from Year 6 attended a Junior Citizens event at Brunel University where they learnt how to stay safe and to be good citizens. The pupils were completely focussed as they attended different sessions that involved them in realistic and problematic scenarios where they had to think carefully about the actions they needed to take. There were eight scenarios in total, which covered health issues, fire safety, citizenship, home safety, dangerous substances, online safety, watersafety and road safety.
Last week, some of our pupils took part in the exciting LifeBase workshops, which helped them develop a greater understanding of themselves, how their bodies function, and how to keep themselves safe and healthy. Pupils were enthusiastic and fully engaged in a range of fun, age-appropriate activities designed to support informed decision-making about their health, build let's go let's goself-esteem through inspiring enrichment experiences, and develop essential life skills.
The Nursery children have returned to school after the Christmas holidays and jumped straight back into various activities. The children used the interactive whiteboards to practise writing different sounds they have learnt, engaged in sensory play using the sandpit and soft foam, and attempted various mathematics games to develop and reinforce basic numeracy skills. They were all thrilled to return to Nursery and were ecstatic to see their friends!
Cock-a-Doodle Christmas! Our Nursery and Reception children delighted everyone with their joyful performance, spreading festive cheer with big smiles, songs, and lots of Christmas magic. The children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the performance and were very excited to sing the songs they had learnt to their audience, clearly demonstrating how they had grown in confidence since September.
On Wednesday 10th December, our Year 2 pupils reported the sighting of aliens that had landed at Rosedale Primary School! This close encounter led our Year 2 to invite the aliens in to satisfy their inquiries about the meaning of Christmas. They achieved this by acting out the reasons why Christmas is celebrated and persuaded the aliens to enjoy the festivities. In the afternoon, the children enjoyed their Christmas party, especially after all the hard work they put into their full-fledged performance in the morning!
