We would like to wish all of our children and their families a very Happy Easter! We miss you lots and can’t wait to see you when everything is back to normal. We know how much we will appreciate doing all of the things we usually take for granted after this experience. We look forward to seeing you all soon, until then keep smiling and being the amazing children you are,
With love and best wishes from all of the staff at Rushall XX 🌻🌺🐣🥰
Congratulations to Ellis who achieved ‘Word Millionaire’ status earlier this month on Accelerated Reader. We are very proud of you Ellis and we hope that your love of reading inspires others to read lots too. Keep reading everyone!!
We had a fabulous World Book Day on Thursday which began with a performance by the Hobgoblin theatre group of their show; ‘The Greatest Fairytale Ever Told’.
Following the show the children met with their buddy classes and reading partners to share their favourite books and stories. The children have also produced some fantastic enrichment homework all about reading which is displayed proudly in school.
Thank you to all of the staff for making this such a wonderful day, and to parents for your support with events such as this and your daily support with reading; this is priceless and helps the children develop in so many ways.
We are very proud to receive news that Ava, Fletcher, Jayden and Aaron in Year Two have had their work chosen to be published by the ‘Young Writers’ group. This is a fantastic achievement! We can’t wait to pick up a book and read their stories!
Things were very noisy this afternoon when a wild dragon rampaged around school!
Thankfully it was Early Years celebrating Chinese New Year! The dragon paraded around school followed by an enthusiastic walking band.
We were very lucky yesterday to have a very special visitor in school – DJ Nathan Dawe!
Nathan spoke about his passion for music and how this had started when he began playing the trumpet whilst at school. He told the children all about his work in the music industry and how hard he worked at school and early on while he was building his business. He now has opportunities to travel and work with lots of different artists through his work. What an inspiration for us!
We are incredibly proud of our choir who performed at the ‘Young Voices’ event in Birmingham last week. The children put on a spectacular performance and behaved beautifully throughout the day. Miss Maeer and Miss Hawtin will be re-starting choir on Friday lunchtimes from this week; if this has inspired you please do come and join in!
We began our celebrations with our Early Years and Key Stage One Christmas performance; ‘Lights, Camel, Action!’
We all enjoyed our Christmas dinner – thank you Sue, Lesley and Gurjit for making this really special for us!
We continued our festivities with our spectacular Key Stage Two Christmas Concert. This included a brass section and drama and singing based on Christmas films.
We are so proud of all of our children for their amazing Christmas performances – well done everyone!! We wish all of our families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Congratulations to Year 2 who have won our fabulous trophy for ‘Best Half Termly Attendance’ for Autumn 1. The trophy was received with pride in assembly this morning. Well done Year 2!!!!!
We have some more good news to share with you – we raised over £700 for Children In Need last week – more than ever before! This is amazing; a huge thank you to everyone involved and to the children for their wonderful fundraising ideas, planning and organisation.
We have been very busy today raising money for Children In Need. Activities have included a penalty shoot out, a dance off and ‘throw a wet sponge at a teacher’! Congratulations in particular to year 6 who clocked up a grand total of five hours in their sponsored silence held yesterday!
An enormous thank you to our ARP children and staff for leading the organisation of today, and especially to Mr Owen for being such a good sport! Thank you children for your fabulous fund raising ideas and for your enthusiasm throughout the day. We will confirm the amount we have raised after all of the money has been counted. Well done everyone!!
