  Our year 4 children have been taking part in a programming workshop organised through the ONE Trust. 

   

  Dr Steve Bunce (robotics teacher at RGS) has been showing the children how to programme a special robot called a Sphero. 

   

  In Spring 2, 10 of our year 4 children will get the chance to visit Throckley to show off their programming skills at an event. 

   

  They will also be making a programming mat for their Sphero to travel along to take along to the event.

  This week we had the highest house point weekly results we have ever had! The children are determined to be the winning house for the half term - watch out, the results are getting closer!

   

  Year 2, Class 6 also performed two poems for us and they wrote the second one themselves! It was super and they have really set the standard for the ‘show and tells’ to follow.

• WOW! Walk to School Challenge

  Thu 23 Jan 2025 Miss Forster

  A special visitor came to help out in an assembly this week. We had a launch assembly all about 'WOW' a walk to school challenge. This project encourages children to walk to school and highlights all of the benefit of walking. The children will have the chance to win badges if they hit the monthly target of times walked to school. We will be comparing classes and reviewing which classes are walking to school the most. We look forward to hopefully seeing an increase in children choosing to walk to school!
