Sports Day Preperation

On Thursday 13th July, Red Rose pupils had a morning preparing for 'Sports Day'. This involved trying out the events: a sprint; a skipping race; a long-distance race; a relay; a bean bag race and an obstacle race. Everyone had a good time and thoroughly enjoyed it.

"It was really exciting to practice for all of the fun races and events,"
                                                                                                 A year 6 pupil.

"The 'Sports Day' practice was great and it is good to know what I will be doing,"
                                                                                                                   A year 4 pupil.

"It was tiring but fun. Now I know what I'm doing tomorrow,"
                                                                                    A year 5 pupil.

Residential For the YR6's.

"I think it will be fun and exciting" From a Year 6 Pupil,

"The activity's will be fun" Said 2 Pupils from Year 6.

Year 6 will be staying for 2 nights and 3 days,Year 6 will be doing multiple activities through there visit.

After the week, the group agreed that it had been a brilliant 3 days - more details to come!

SATs

From the 8th to the 11th of May, SATs 'week' took place for the year 2 and 6 pupils. During this time, numerous tests were issued on subjects like: maths, reading, spelling, grammar and punctuation.

'SATs' means 'Standard Assessment Tasks' and they are issued by the government to check the levels of pupils at the end of KS1 (key stage 1) and KS2 (key stage 2).

Red Rose had prepared for these tests since the start of the year and everything in them is linked to what children are supposed to have learned throughout school.

"It was surprisingly easy compared to the work that we had done to prepare for it,"
                                                                                                               A year 6 pupil                                                 

Just waiting for the results now.

Year 6 leavers assembly.

On the 7th of July 2017,the year 6s’ presented their Leavers Assembly to the school. The year 6s worked very hard and practised every day. On Thursday (the day before the assembly) some year 3, 4, and 5 pupils (who were going to Quad Kids on Friday)had a sneak preview for the dress rehearsal. During the assembly, the year 6s sang some songs such as: When We Were Young (that brought a few tears to the audience’s eyes); Wanna Be Like You and When I Grow up (from Matilda) they also.

The year sixes wrote their scripts over a few weeks, practised the dance - Bollywood Style -  and sang the songs and then during one busy week practised in the hall. They worked hard to make everyone smile - and maybe have a few tears. Mr Ross and Mrs Hodgson had helped them plan the Leavers’ assembly but most of it was scripted by the year 6 pupils. All of the staff have given the year 6s a good time at Red Rose and have made sure they have had a good education. The year 6s have had a great time planning the family assembly and performing it to.

What a great time the class had performing for the school and their relatives. After the excitement had died down, every Year 6 pupil was presented with a dictionary ( for friends and staff to sign)and a leavers T-shirt - a fitting way to say well done to the Year 6 pupils, who will leave us soon. On the last day of term the Year 6s will walk around school getting their jumpers signed! Year 6 is sad to leave but I think they are ready to move on, they will never forget Red Rose.
