We share our latest news and annoucements here…
It’s been a busy week at Rownhams as we draw this half term to a close. We have had two outcomes and a great presentation from our Young Carers. It’s better to hear straight from our children so in today’s blog you can read our reports from our News Team and two match reports from our footballers.
Mrs Broyd, our Child and Family Support Worker, has been working closely with Romsey Young Carers so that we can better support children who have a role in caring for someone at home. We have also been closely supported by Ben Hogbin, one of our parent governors, who works for Winchester Young Carers. So, what is a Young Carer? Also, in this blog, read about our Young Governors idea for ‘one-minute book reviews’ and how you could write your own… and finally, the long awaited photos from Year 5/6’s trip to the Harry Potter studios!
Do you know what you’re children are doing online? The internet is a great place to learn and have fun but we also need to know how to stay safe. Safer Internet Day is being celebrated on 11th February and we are running parent workshops to coincide with this. In other news this week, Year 1/2 are hoping to adopt a Koala, we have a reminder about the great work of our PTA and an outline of latest school improvement priorities.
We have lots to report this week, including our newly updated Vision statement, where you can find your child’s curriculum information, our revived link with a school in Muramba Valley and how you can have your say in our new Relationships and Sex Education Policy.
This term our priority in school is to review, explore and further develop our approach to reading, especially our approach to ‘reading for pleasure’. In this article I will share some of our plans, the ideas from our Young Governors and some helpful tips for reading at home.
It’s been an exciting start to the new decade with some great curriculum hooks that have reignited our learning engines and brought light and energy into a grey January. The hooks have done their job and the children have been immersed into their new projects.
We have had a wonderfully festive run into Christmas. We had Christmas jumper day last week and this week started with parties and Carols by Candlelight.
Our first Christmas Fair for a few years – and what a great success! The event really brought the community together and raised much needed funds to help support the school.
