Upcoming: Easter Egg Competition!

Just a quick reminder that our annual Rise Park Easter Egg competition is happening on Thursday 24th March. Children in Key Stage 2 are asked to bring an 'egg-themed' entry, rather than an Easter Garden or Bonnet! We look forward to seeing your egg-cellent entries!

Sport Relief 2016!

It's that time again - time for us to dig out our sports kits and jog on! Your children should have brought home a letter and sponsorship form this week for the mile-run that they will be attempting on Friday 18th March. They have been practising for this run all year, on a weekly basis, and are looking forward to seeing how far they can run on the day! We would like the children to raise as much money as possible through sponsorship, all of which will be donated to good causes through the Sport Relief charity.

As well as the mile run, the children will also be taking part in a dance-off in the Key Stage 2 hall. They will be dancing along to this years Sport Relief single, which is available to view on YouTube. If the children would like to practise their moves ahead of next Friday, please help them find the video at home. Dig out those dancing shoes, kids!

We won't be asking for a donation for Sport Relief, and your children are allowed to come out of uniform but they must wear sports clothing or kit. This must also be suitable for them to run in - so don't come wearing ice-skates!

Parents Evening - Thank You

It was fantastic to meet with so many parents and carers at the Spring Parents Evenings. We hope that you enjoyed looking through your child's books and seeing what we have been up to this year! Hopefully you also have some more ideas about how to support your child outside of school, but as always, if you need any further help or guidance, please don't be afraid to speak to a member of the Year 4 staff at the end of the day.
