  • Look What Have Arrived!

    Tue 26 Nov 2019 Fiona Steel

    It has already been an amazing week here at Ryton Federation! After great anticipation and much eggcitement, our long awaited hens finally arrived on Monday. They settled in quickly and even laid 2 eggs in their carrying boxes on the way from the farm! Watch this space for updates and find out just what we decide to name them!

    We are working with an amazing organisation called HenPower to get this initiative off the ground. The children have already gained so much from the start of this project and can't wait to see just what Rael and the team have in store for them! A huge thank you goes to Rael, Jos and everyone at HenPower, who have made this project a reality!

  • Bling Your Bike Day

    Sun 24 Nov 2019 S Spurr
    All children across the Federation will be celebrating the end of 2 weeks of fabulous bike skills workshops on Friday 29th November with Bling Your Bike day. There will be a prize for the best-blinged bike/ scooter in each class of the Federation, as well as a parade to celebrate with all children in the Federation joining in. Our wonderful Cycling Engagement Officer, Jayne Stanton, will have the very difficult job of judging the competition. I'm sure the children will have an amazing time showing off their bikes and admiring everyone's creative efforts!

    Dear Parent /Carer,

     

    As part of our continuing promotion of cycling, we are offering cycling skills and games for your child. Jayne Stanton, our Active Travel Delivery Officer, teaches children bike skills in a fun way.

     

    Children taking part will need a two wheeled bike of their own in safe working order, and a helmet. Other appropriate clothing, such as a short length coat and trainers is desirable. A pair of gloves can also be very useful for avoiding minor scrapes.

    Each day, we will also have a scooter skills session for the same class, for those children who do not have a bike and would prefer to bring their scooter. Helmets will be needed for the scooter sessions also.

     

    On Tuesday, we have a session for those children who cannot yet ride their bikes confidently. Last year, this was a great success, with children learning within a few days! This is especially important for those children who are in Year 5 as they will have Bikeability training later in the year but is open to children in any year group who wish to learn.   Please note the times for other classes. Year 6 will have sessions later in the year to prepare them for longer distance challenge rides in the summer term. However, any Year 6 children not yet confident on their bikes are very welcome to join the Learn to Ride session on Tuesday.

    Mrs Spurr

  • Reading Plus

    Sat 09 Nov 2019 Fiona Steel

    Reading Plus Project

    With great excitement, Year 6 made a start with a brand new reading project for our school, called Reading Plus. It was wonderful to see them all so engaged and enthusiastic about the text they were reading, the visual games they were playing and the vocabulary tasks they were undertaking. They are definitely keen to complete more challenges and unlock more books to read!

    We will be using Reading Plus in school, but ask that the children also read and complete challenges as part of their homework.

    Well done Year 6!
