On Friday, the children were so lucky to be invited to have a look at a Lamborghini and a Rolls Royce. The cars pulled loudly onto the playground and parked up so we could have a sit in them.
Many people around the United Kingdom are carrying out lots of different tasks to help Keep Britain Tidy. As part of our Pupil Leadership, we decided that we would join in with the Spring clean and help to keep Rushall tidy. We looked around school and noticed lots of outdoor spaces needed spruce up so armed with our tools, we began the spring clean!
The children swept the quad area, emptying the shed and reorganising it ready for the children who take part in Gardening Club.
The children learned how to safely use garden tools to weed, trim and sweep the outdoor area.
After a very warm few days, the children enjoyed some time in the cool classroom sorting out the flower, fruit and vegetable seeds into the different months and seasons during which we can sow them.
What fantastic leadership skills the children have shown this week – well done!
On Tuesday, ARP 1 and 2 enjoyed taking part in a fun-filled Sports Day!
There were lots of different races and activities on offer:
The children were very fair and made sure they were following our Golden Rules.
All of the children tried their very best showing our new school value perseverance!
Well done to all of the children who tried their very best!
This week, the children have been raising money and a smile whilst learning about Comic Relief.
We enjoyed dressing up in red and spending time with our friends planning and performing a funny sketch, animation or puppet show. To end our morning, we had a giggle whilst watching some classic Tom and Jerry!
Using good manners is important. If we use good manners, it means that we are polite.
This week, our focus for home learning is to practise using manners. You could say:
Show us your home learning task by uploading a piece of work to your journal on Seesaw. You might like to add some photos, record a video or tell us about your task in a voice note.
While we are spending extra time at home, it is important that we are helping each other.
Children might like to learn the sign for ‘help’.
Some of the children might want to practice asking others for help – ‘Can I have help to tie my shoes please?’ or ‘I need some help with my work please’, ‘Can some body help me with my game please?’.
Some children might like to offer their help to other family members – ‘Mum, would you like some help to make breakfast?’, ‘Dad, can I help you tidy away?’, ‘Shall I help you get the tea ready?’.

This week, our focus for home learning is all about being adventurous! We would like to you try foods that you may not normally try.
Ideas for parents:
Allow the children to be playful with their food to reduce anxieties – squash it, smell it, lick it, mouth it, take bites, chew and if they are brave, swallow it! You could even make a picture out of food.
You may like to try some baking or making a new recipe. This will allow the children to see what goes into their food.
Ask the children – is it sweet, salty, spicy? Crunchy or soft? Would they like to eat it again? Maybe the adults could teach them where is has come from or how it is made!

This week, our focus for home learning will be taking turns. You can do this in lots of ways, either with your siblings or your parents at home.
You can play a board game at home, where you need to wait for your turn while other have their turn.
You may need to share the computer or television with somebody at home, so you will wait until it is your turn and then let them have their turn after.
You might go for a walk to the park to play where you may need to wait your turn for the slide.
Remember you can send in pictures of you taking turns and we can celebrate them on our blog.
