• We don't like cricket, We love it!

  Thu 02 May 2019 Miss Hayden

  Yesterday all of the children, from our 2 year olds to Year 2, in the Infant School enjoyed the All Stars cricket roadshow with Phil. We travelled around the Galaxy visiting space stations and planets, learning different ways to control the ball and the skills we need to do this.

  Phil was on the yard at the end of the day to talk to parents about the cricket sessions in the local area. If you did not have a chance to talk to him you can contact Ryton Cricket ground who have all of this information.

Look at how much fun and enjoyment we are having already. This is in line with our Federation vision of promoting healthy and active lifestyles for all children.

• Bling Your Bike Day

  Fri 23 Nov 2018 S. Spurr

  This week, Jayne from Go Smarter School's Engagement came in to talk to the children about everything we have planned this year to promote cycling, scooting and walking to school. It was so exciting, from teaching our younger children to ride their bikes and bike skills, to cycle maintenance and cycling trips further afield.

  One event we are really looking forward to is 'Bling Your Bike 'Day, on Friday 7th December where we invite children across the Federation to decorate their bike or scooter in a festive manner. There will be prizes for the best entries and we will take part in a grand parade in the afternoon.

  We have encouraged the children to think creatively and use materials they would find around the house such as old cardboard boxes, left-over wrapping paper and tinsel/ decorations for their designs. We have emphasised to them that nothing new need be purchased. In fact, we will be looking for the creative use of 'recycling' in their designs when judging the winners in keeping with the eco-friendly theme of the day.

  We hope your child enjoys this event- the first of many to encourage sustainable travel to and from our Federation.

  

• Remembrance at Ryton Federation

  Sun 11 Nov 2018 S Spurr
  Please take time to look at the Junior children’s fantastic poppy display which they created to remember those who fought in both World Wars and later conflicts. We learned about the 100th anniversary of the ending of the First World War, and every child made a poppy, by painting or in the case of Year 5 and 6, creating a 3-d flower. Well done to all

  

• Performance Poetry Competition

  Fri 09 Nov 2018 S Spurr

  Our KS2 annual performance poetry competition takes place this half term, with the grand final on Friday 9th November.

  Over the next 2 weeks, as part of their homework, we would like your child to prepare a poem to perform to the rest of their class by heart. Any length or subject of poem of their choosing. On Wednesday 7th November, the children will vote for the best performance in their class and then each class winner will compete to find the Junior School Winner, 2018!

  As well as this, each class will be practicing a poem to perform together.

  Have fun and enjoy picking poems!
