Summer Homework

This half term we are asking the children to prepare a lesson.
What hobby/skill/talent can they share with the other children?

The children will need to create a short lesson plan, resourse it and then teach. It's as simple as that!

More information to follow.

Healthy Eating at School

On a serious note, at Rise Park Primary, we are proud of our reputation as a 'Heathy School' and of our Healthy School Accreditations. Unfortunately, in recent times we have seen an increase in unhealthy snacks at break times and unsuitable lunches provided for some children.

Examples of what we have seen in lunch boxes:
- Family sized crisp packets.
- Multi-pack of penguin bars.
- Fizzy drinks
- Cinema sized bags of skittles/malteasers.


I'm sure you all agree that the above examples are disappointing and not appropriate to have in school. Like you, we want the best for the children and for them to grow up healthy, making good lifestyle choices. It is therefore important that together home and school set good examples to the children. Treats are fine, a chocolate lunch is not! Thank you for your support with this issue.

Summer Topic – Ancient Egypt

Our Summer Term topic is Ancient Egypt. We will be looking at the life of the Egyptian people, mummification, Gods, pharaohs and art work. Any research done at home will really benefit the children.

 

 

Healthy Lifestyles Club

Fifteen Year 4 children will soon take part in the Government funded Healthy Lifestyles Club. This will run throughout the Summer Term on Monday afternoons and will focus on healthy eating, sporting activities, fun games and making good lifestyle choices.

Mr Stink

         
                               Year 4 Read the final chapters of Mr Stink with Bigwood Pupils

                                                            Preforming the final chapters

A big thank you to all the revolting parents/carers who helped with the recent stinky Mr Stink project homework poohy activities. It turned out to be a great smelly read which all the disgusting children enjoyed. We would also like to thank rotten Bigwood School for organising the pongy tasks, putrid booklets and the forthcoming pungent ‘Movie Day’.  Whiffy popcorn at the ready!

Year 4’s First Gig

Before Easter we joined the Year 5 guitarist and performed our first concert in front of the rest of the school. We were very excited and nervous but managed to strum out some cool tunes including ‘Tequilla’ and ‘Let’s Dance’.

Indian Rangoli Wall Art

As part of our Indian geography topic, Year 4 created Rangoli style wall hangings. After designing the pattern, we created a stamp on card using thick string. Then we carefully painted the block Rangoli before stamping the material.  We are looking forward to seeing them hung up.

Newstead Abbey Camping

Year 4 have been invited to camp overnight at Newstead Abbey on 23/24^th May. It will be the first time that Rise Park has taken part in this adventure. Activities will include climbing, team building activities and camp fire games. Let’s all look forward to sleeping under the stars and being at one with nature.
