Thank you for all your support over the year, it has been a pleasure to teach your child and see them grow socially, spiritually and academically. I know they are more than ready for Year 3 and look forward to seeing them blossom.
Monday 4th September (Year 4) don't forget to come into school dressed as an animal of rainforest. Arbor will open on this day for your payment for zoolab.
Thanks Mrs Briggs
Enjoy your summer break and stay safe!

Friday 8th July your child will meet their new class teacher and spend time in their new class.
Reminder about Sports day on Friday 1st July, our time is 9am till 10.30am.
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!

Dear parent/carer,
As part of our commitment to make maths exciting and high profile in our school, we are taking part in a friendly competition involving schools in London. The competition runs from 07:30am Monday 27th June 2022 to 19:30pm Wednesday 29th June 2022. It's all done online via play.ttrockstars.com.
Children can play in any gamemode with every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, earning themselves, their class and the school a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform will calculate the class average (the number of correct answers per pupil in the class who play during the competition hours). Winning classes in the school and in the competition as a whole will be the ones with the highest average. There will be prizes and certificates available.
To support player wellbeing, there is a daily time limit of 60-minutes per player. In other words, each player can earn competition points for up to 60-minutes between 07:30am and 19:30pm on Monday 27th June 2022 to 19:30 Wednesday 29th June 2022. Once the player goes beyond 60-minutes of play on that day, they will still earn coins but will no longer earn points towards the competition.
Let’s get ready to Rock!

This Week’s Learning – wb 09.05.2022
In topic we described the setting from Chapter 1 of our key text. We then planned and wrote our own narrative based on ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes.
In Maths, we were finding change, this finished off our topic on money. We then moved on to learning about angles and different types of lines. We learnt about right, acute and obtuse angles and used a right angle checker to identify them within our environment before moving on to identifying them in shapes. We then learnt all about horizontal, vertical, parallel and perpendicular lines.
Music – Your children will be continuing to learn how to play the ukulele through the Sutton music Service.
French - Bonjour! This week we have been learning fruits in French. We have been looking at whether they are masculine or feminine nouns too. How many fruits that we learnt can you spot in this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ03KjwiIVM ? Next week we will be inventing a new drink by mixing some of the fruit juices we have learnt so far.
Next week’s Learning – wb 16.05.2022

In topic we looked at the effects of global warming and identified the effects on different countries around the world. We learnt all about the features of a persuasive letter and how to use emotive language for effect. We then planned out own letter to Ms Bretherick to persuade her to implement renewable energy at Rushy.
In Maths, we continued with learning how to multiply and divide by 10 and 100. We then moved onto recognising different coins and making the same values using different coins.
Music – Your children will be continuing to learn how to play the ukulele through the Sutton music Service.
French - Bonjour! We have started our new topic this week – “Au Café”. We started by learning about why French has two different ways of saying ‘a’? We have learnt some masculine and feminine nouns for food and drink. You can practice at home: Go to busy things, KS2, Year 3/4, languages, French and click on the drinks worksheet. When you have dragged the drinks next to the right picture you could try to use the words in a sentence: "Je bois de la lemonade" (I am drinking some lemonade). Next week, we will start to speak to a waiter in French.

Please see the document below about an exciting poetry competition.
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 topic this week we looked at instructional writing. We identified the key features of instructions and learnt how important it is to follow each step in order. We then planned a set of instructions based on last weeks dip making. We wrote a set of instructions using imperative (bossy) verbs, adverbs and time conjunctions on how to make a dip. After that we reveiwed our instructions and edited them according to the targets set.
In Maths, we looked at finding non-unit fractions of quantity, we found this quite tricky so will be revisiting this, finding the whole when one part is known and placing fractions on a number line.

We then evaluated a range of healthy dips such as guacamole, salsa, tzatziki and taramasalata. We discussed the texture, aroma and flavour and decided what we liked and disliked about them. We then made and evaluated either a salsa dip or tzatziki dip. We learnt how to cut vegetables using the bridge method or the claw grip. After preparing the dip we then evaluated the texture, aroma and flavour. We learnt that when following a recipe we had to ensure we used the correct amount of ingredients to ensure it tasted good.

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, in the home learning section on the blog 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.
