School Newsletter Friday 15th June 2018 Summer Term 2018 Issue 08

Dear Parents and Carers, It's been a busy week for Richmond PRIDE and Achieve GOLD this week. Congratulations to Chloe Rogers, Ava Smith and Ava Hamilton from Year 5 for achieving Richmond PRIDE. All three girls have shown great determination to improve. We also have our first Foundation Stage recipient of Richmond PRIDE, Theo Clements. The work in his book was outstanding and the improvement from September incredible. His hardworking attitude has paid off and the pride he showed in his work was fantastic. It was also a lovely surprise for Faith McAnally today, who has achieved GOLD. Faith has shown superb perseverance and determination and definitely deserves her badge! Our Year 1 children have been working extremely hard this week, completing their phonics screening. We are very proud of them. They have also been investigating length by measuring chocolate bars - Miss Hodges was delighted with her Wispa bar! The Judo taster day on Tuesday was amazing! The children had great fun and it was wonderful to see them all being so active. On Wednesday, the Year 6s thoroughly enjoyed their trip to Riverside Stadium. We are so fortunate to benefit from a partnership with Middlesbrough Football Club. Also, on Thursday morning they enjoyed their trip to Right Click Studios for their end of year photographs. On both trips, the children were impeccably well behaved. Maddie, Louie, Ashton and Jacob represented the school today at the 24 Maths Challenge at Richmond School. They performed extremely well and achieved fourth place! Also on Friday, Mrs Foxwell took the choir to sing songs at the Alzheimer’s Society in Richmond. This was a lovely opportunity for our children to give something to the local community. They have very much enjoyed learning the songs and they were very well received. Thank you choir! As always, do remember to visit the Blog to read and see more about the amazing activities we get up to in school. In other news this week, we have had a new computer server installed in school. We are all very excited about having a much quicker system in place! Looking forward to next week, our Year 3 and 4 children will be taking part in the ‘Primary School Sing and Strings’ concert at Richmond School and we are all very much looking forward to the FORCE Summer Fair on Saturday. For day-to-day enquiries please contact the school office or speak to your child(ren)’s class teacher. As you know, I work for our school

for 50% of the week and share my time between school sites, so am not always available. Do remember that our Associate Headteach-

er, Miss Hodges is Head of School and can be contacted on a daily basis if necessary.

I look forward to seeing you in school soon. Kindest regards, Mrs K. Williamson Executive Headteacher

This week year 1 have been learning to measure length and height using centimetres. We know how hard Miss Hodges works and we wanted to reward her with a chocolate bar. However, we had to carry out a maths investigation as Miss Hodges only eats chocolate bars that are over 12cm long. The children had to measure different chocolate bars using centimetres to find out which ones Miss Hodges could eat. We discovered that a Wispa is over 12cm long and would be the prefect treat

Chocolate Bar Investigation

On Thursday, Year 6 headed down to Right Click Studios in Richmond to have their pictures taken for the end of year leavers’ book. The children had individual photos taken as well pictures with their close friends from throughout primary school.

The children were impeccably behaved and did indeed smile for the camera. We’re looking forward to seeing their smiling faces in the books come July.

Smile for the camera Year 6…

This morning, we welcomed Glynn Fidgeon to our school to deliver a morning of Judo to the children. Glynn visited the school last year; his sessions were a big hit with the children which led to many of them taking it up as a hobby.

Just like last year, the sessions were fantastic! The children loved every minute of them and it really encouraged them to be active role models. Thank you Glynn for giving up your time (again) to visit our school.

Judo Taster Day

On Wednesday, year 6 enjoyed a visit to the Riverside Stadium as part of our exciting partnership with Middlesbrough F.C.

The children first visited one of the training grounds and enjoyed some team games such as tchoukball and dodgeball. Following this, we received a guided tour of the stadium from Maz (our PE coach) which included: the stands, the directors’ box and the players’ changing rooms.

The children loved the day from start to finish and were impeccably behaved throughout. Well done to the children and thank you to Maz and Middlesbrough F.C for a fantastic day.
