Reach Out

This week was Anti-Bullying week and the theme was ‘Reach Out’ – a theme with the aim of empowering teachers, and children to do something positive to counter the harm and hurt that bullying causes.

Responsibility at Harvest Time

Just before half term we celebrated our value of Responsibility with a special day. We learned about how we can make a difference in our community and about ‘courageous advocates’ who are making a difference to our world. For example, we looked at how David Attenborough is using his influence to save our world from a climate crisis. We also held a wonderful harvest celebration in our first whole school visit to the church for some time. Well done to Year 2 for leading our worship time at the church, alongside Reverend Graeme and Ewan. Thank you to parents and carers for your donations, which have been collected by Southampton City Mission for their food bank.

We can’t wait to get back to what we do best and remember that ‘every storm runs out of rain’. We are so proud to be part of Team Rownhams!

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!
