This week in Y3/4 we have had a Mammoth Invasion as our children continue to learn about the stone-age! You can also read about why we believe that ‘learning is a change in long-term memory’.

We believe that being active and healthy is an essential part of what we offer and promote at Rownhams. This academic year we have had to make some changes to how we organise our PE but it is our hope that this is also an opportunity to further raise the profile and quality of what we do – and get even more children active, healthy – and competitive!

Here’s one final ‘bonus’ blog before we head off into the Summer holidays and it’s one worth sharing – we have been nominated for an NHS Solent Award!

Welcome to all of our children and families who will be joining us in September 2020. Unfortunately, this year we have been unable to offer the same transition as we would do normally because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. So, we have created this page to share the key information you need for your child’s first day at school.

It has been a very different Summer Term but we are truly grateful for the support from our whole community. Now, it’s time to say goodbye to our Year 6 children and to start to welcome our new Year R children in September – exciting times for all. We also look forward to welcoming back our Year 2, 3, 4 and 5 children who we have all missed so much!

It was fantastic seeing everyone together in our first Virtual Celebration Assembly this week. Seeing everyone in ‘one-space’ even though it was online was very special, especially being able to hear about all the different things that are going on around the school. It was a refreshing change when we have all been restricted to our little bubbles or at home away from our friends. Our teachers have been busy this week putting the finishing touches to end of year reports and class lists ready for release next week!

We have been busy at Rownhams this week with lots of fun learning, a ‘bubble’ closure and we have some staff changes to update you with. Our PTA have also been busy raising money for the school – they held a Treasure Hunt, which was a great success. Our Year 6 children been busy getting ready for their production of the Lion King – as seen in the featured image this week and there is some information on transition for our pupils heading to Romsey School.
