Reminder about Sports day on Thursday 30th June, our time is 10am till 11.45am.
You will be able to access this event by going through the field behind school and entering through the small yellow gate into the designated spectator’s area. You can access this field from the walkway at the end of Rushy Meadow Lane or from the end of St Andrew’s Road. From there, you will be able to watch both the events occurring on the field, and on the KS2 playground. You will not be able to enter through the school office. Please ensure you stay in this designated spectator area. Members of the PTA will be in this area selling some refreshments, but we ask that you please do not purchase anything for your child.
Children will need to come into school dressed in their PE kits and should make sure they have a water bottle with them. We are hopeful for warm weather so please apply sun cream to your child before they come into school and ensure they bring a hat with them. As we are holding the event on the school site, children will have their lunch in school as normal.
We ask that if you do take photographs at the event, they are not posted on social media. We have children in school whose parents and carers have explicitly told us that images of their children cannot be put on social media. We ask that you respect their wishes. Thank you.
As we will be holding part of sports day on the field, we are kindly asking for some parent volunteers to support us in the morning to do a sweep of the area to ensure it is safe to use. We will provide bin bags and gloves. If you are happy to help, please send an email to willowclass@cirrustrust.onmicrosoft.com. It would be greatly appreciated!

The big walk and wheel is a national event running from March 21st to April 1st 2022. Children are actively encouraged to walk, scoot or cycle to school to have the chance to win prizes. If you are unable to walk, scoot or cycle and need to drive a car, please do not drive down Fellowes Road or Rushy Meadow Lane, if you park outside of these roads and walk into school your child will still be able to take part as a park and stride participant.
Congratulations to the following children who won the Big walk and Wheel poster competition, it was judged by Mrs Green and Miss Dowding.
In Year 1 we have Isai and Ramira.
In Year 2 we have Adam.
In Year 3 we have Billie-May.

In Year 5 Aidan B and Finley

Safer Internet Day - Tuesday 8th February 2022
All fun and games? Exploring respect and relationships online
Safer Internet Day is an international holiday celebrated to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones across the world. Parents and carers can find out more about this by clicking here.
On Tuesday, we will be taking part in activities and an assembly to promote an awareness of how to keep safe when online. We will also be talking about the CEOP ( Child Exploitation and Online Protection) button with our KS1 and KS2 pupils. This is a button that we can find on many websites, including online games. We click this button to report online abuse or something that worries us and it takes us directly to the CEOP command centre where we can make a report. (children, parents, teachers etc can all use this button)
This is what the button looks like:
Mrs Briggs, the Digital Learning Lead, has ensured that this button can be found on many relevant pages of our school website and is now setting each of you a challenge. How many buttons can you find on our Rushy Meadow Primary Academy website? You will need to check that all of these buttons are working by clicking on them. Let your class teacher know how many you found using your online learning platform (Tapestry, Seesaw or MS Teams).
Next week is also mental wellbeing week, please do check out the two information posters about how you can improve your mental wellbeing.
Friday 11th February is - 'Dress to Express Day' on. Children will be allowed to come to school that day dressed in appropriate clothes of their own that they feel helps them to express their personality or showcase a hobby/interest. Please bring in a £1 donation that will be donated to Place2Be - the children's mental health charity
Homework reminder – homework is given out on a Friday and is due in the following Thursday. Thank you.

Congratulations to the following children who won or were runners up in the Road Safety Week poster competition, it was judged by Mrs Green, Miss Beecroft and Miss Gelly. It was very difficult to judge due to the high standard of entry, so we decided for each class there would be a runner up and a winner. They were presented with a certificate and a pedometer during the Monday assembly.
In Year 1 the runners up were Gessy in Robins and Rya in Kingfishers. The winners were Hannah in Kingfishers and Darren in Robins.
Look for the fabulous posters on the school gates, twitter and the school website

Sports Day Wednesday 7th July. Children to come to school wearing a PE kit.
Dear Parents and Carers,
As you know, this week we are holding sports day events for all the pupils. This year, these are happening within bubbles rather than it being a whole school event.
I know that many of you are disappointed that you are not invited to attend. I need to reiterate that we are following Government advice and the guidance from the Department of Education about maintaining social distancing and limiting people onto school premises to help keep people safe. As you know, at the moment, there is a great deal of speculation in the press about what schools can and can’t do, but I must stress, at this stage no specific guidance about relaxing measures has been given to schools.
I realise that it is frustrating to see thousands of spectators at football events and at Wimbledon tennis, and therefore find it difficult to know why the school can’t invite hundreds of parents onto the premises. However, it would be irresponsible of the school and the Trust if we were to go against government guidance.
Thank you for your cooperation and support with this matter.
Yours faithfully,
Ms Bretherick

This week we started our new topic 'Blooming Marvellous'. We thought about what we know about plants and what we would like to find out. We then went on a plant hunt around our outside area and spotted lots of wild plants. This helped us to identify and label a picture of a plant. We learnt that evergreen trees stay green throughout the year and their leaves are usually waxy, and deciduous trees have leaves that change colour and usually lose their leaves in winter.
In maths we started learning about quarters. We practically cut objects into 4 equal parts and by the end of the week we understood how to split counters into 4 equal groups.
In music this half term the focus is music from around the world. This week the children looked at traditional and popular music from Asia.

I am delighted to inform you that over the Easter holidays we have installed 20 bicycle storage hoops up on the top of the grass area by the existing covered bicycle Storage just through the KS2 gate. This was possible due to receiving £500 pounds funding from TFL to promote cycling to school.
If your child wishes to cycle to school, then they may park their bicycle in this area only, no bicycles are to be taken down to classrooms. Please ensure your child wears a cycle helmet and has a lock to secure their bike whilst on school premises, as the school accepts no liability for loss or damage to personal property brought onto school property.
Thank you

It has been lovely for the children to be back in school this week. The children started the week by acting out different parts of the Gruffalo. Then they designed their own Gruffalo and thought of lots of different adjectives to describe them. After gathering lots of adjectives, the children wrote a character description.
In maths the children have been counting in 5s up to 50 and making equal groups of 5.
In music we recapped the song we learnt two weeks ago and then played the Soundshapes whilst we sang. We then learnt about tempo by changing the speed of the song.

The Carnival of the Animals
This week in topic our focus has been geography. We recapped our learning of the 7 continents and learnt about the 5 oceans in the world. We looked at globes and explored what part of the world is hot and what part is cold. This knowledge helped us place where different animals are from.
We completed mindfulness activities and had extra PSHE sessions to settle the children back into school. We had lots of fun completing these activities.
In maths, we started learning about weight and explored using scales and measuring the weight of different objects.

This Carnival of the Animals
We had a great start to our new topic, The Carnival of the Animals. We completed our KWL and learnt about different species and classified animals by their diet. We know that a carnivore eats only meat, a herbivore eats only plants or vegetables, and an omnivore eats both meat and vegetables.
In maths we learnt about finding the difference, first we practically found objects and then we moved on to solving problems.
In music we watched a video, Zin! Zin! Zin! We counted how many different instruments there were and then drew our favourite.
Next Week's Learning 01.03.21
In topic we are looking at information texts. We will be highlighting the features and then gathering evidence to create our own information text about an animal.
In maths we will be measuring the length and height of objects.

Topic: Castles and Dragons
We enjoyed our last week learning about castles and dragons. We looked at the story The Egg by M.P. Robertson. We made a prediction by looking at the cover and listened to the story to compare our thoughts. We then planned and wrote our own stories about dragons. The children did a fabulous job and are able to join their ideas and use a range of adjectives to make their stories interesting. In RE we learnt about Krishna. He is a very popular god in Hinduism, and we made him a crown. Check these out in the gallery section.
In maths, we looked at taking away 1 and taking away 10.
In music, we learnt the Wiggle Jiggle song from Sing Up.
Next Week's Learning 22.02.21

This Week’s Learning- wb 01.02.21
Topic: Castles and Dragons
We had such a great week!
We received a message from Humpty Dumpty asking for us to find a suitable material for him to land on. The children made predictions and guessed what materials an egg could safely land on. Due to Covid-19 Miss Webster carried out the experiment at home. The children enjoyed watching to see if their predictions were correct. Check out the amazing write ups in the Gallery section.
In our design and technology lessons we designed and made a castle. We completed process diaries to guide us step by step with our products. These look brilliant!
In maths, we looked at finding 10 less than any number and we know when taking away 10, the ones stay the same.
In music, we explored how some materials make short sharp sounds and some materials make long high pich sounds.
Next Week's Learning 08.02.21
Next week is our last week of Castles and Dragons. We will be looking at the book The Egg by M. P. Robertson. The children will make a prediction based on the cover of the book and then plan and write their own versions of the story.

Topic: Castles and Dragons
This week, in topic we located castles on a map of the United Kingdom. We used our knowledge we learnt in our previous topic of the countries and the capital cities and applied it to castle descriptions to place them correctly on a map. We then looked at the story, 'The Paper Bag Princess' by Robert Munsch. After listening to the story carefully, we retold the story by ordering pictures and thinking of adjectives to describe the characters. At the end of the week, we planned and wrote character descriptions for the dragon. The children did incredibly well.
In maths, we looked at adding 10 more to numbers. We started by just adding 10 to multiples of ten and progressed to solving problems.
In music, we had a fun lesson with Miss Anderson and then wrote an evaluation of a piece of music.
Next Week's Learning 01.02.21
Next week, we will be exploring different materials. We received an important letter from Humpty Dumpty and will be helping him to find a suitable material to stop him breaking.

Welcome to Year 1. I hope you have had a great summer and are looking forward to seeing all your friends and learning new topics.
Please remember your drop off time is between 8.45 and 8.55 at the Key Stage 1, Rushy Meadow gate. Pick up is at 3.20pm from your child’s classroom.
Your child may bring their packed lunch in hard, plastic, wipeable lunch box (clearly named), a named water bottle and a small school bag to carry their reading book and reading diary.
Please make sure all your child’s uniform is named.
P.E is on Monday and Wednesday for Robin Class and Wednesday and Thursday for Owls. Please ensure your child comes to school wearing their school P.E kit. Please remove earrings in the morning and tie back long hair.
Due to the pandemic your child will be given one reading book per week. They will be given a new book on a Monday and return it to school on a Friday – this gives us the weekend as the 72 hours quarantine to ensure books stay clean.
Please ensure your child reads daily and you record their reading in their reading diary. We will be hearing your child read on a weekly basis and will move them up the reading scheme as they learn new sounds. If you would like to find more books to share you can use the Oxford Owl reading scheme online.
The Topic for this half term is Amazing Me! Please bring in a photo of your child as a baby for our display.
We look forward to seeing you next week. Thank you for your continued support.
