Whole School Events

This half term in partnership with Smart Body Sports we have been able to facilitate a series of day sessions in school for parents/carers. Pupils have enjoyed coming into school for a few hours and enjoying a variety of exciting activities from Rock Climbing to an Easter Egg Hunt!

It was really appreciated that the staff gave up their time to help like this.  Samuel had a lovely time & was in a great mood when he came back.  – Year 5 Parent

Jack enjoys going to school, it break up his time off and is a huge help for us with being able to do food shopping and house work.  It’s very much appreciated. – Year 3 Parent

Archie really enjoyed it. Was really excited driving into school on both days. Also split up the Easter break for him and kept him busy and engaged in things he enjoyed. Supported me being able to work in the first week as couldn’t take leave both weeks and I really appreciate the time staff gave up to provide the opportunity. – Year 4 Parent

Everyone at Rowan Tree had a great time taking part in Science Week.  They have been exploring different animals and sheep walking with Little Barn Farm.  They found out different ways that they could move during the sponsored Easter bounce, and explored forces with parachute games.  They took part in lots of different experiments, including making bottle rockets.  The week finished with a whole school Science and DT rocket making competition in the hall, all the entries were fantastic but they winners were Berries, Cedar 2 and Oak 2,

On the morning of Tuesday the 28th of March we held an Easter sponsored bounce with Spring characters in order to raise vital funds for school.

Donations received went towards continuing to provide our pupils with exciting and fun activities and opportunities. Pupils completed upwards of a hundred bounces on both the big trampoline and an ensemble of Flexi-Bounce trampettes within the Immersive Learning Environment, managing to raise over £1000!

As always, thank you for your continued support and generosity!

A fantastic turn out for our annual school Easter Bingo, which began yesterday evening with doors open at 5:30pm and eyes down at 6:00pm. Thank you to all the families who made an appearance, including past and present pupils who helped us raise a surplus of £500 which will go towards funding all the wonderful enrichment opportunities we offer here at school.

This Monday afternoon we were delighted to welcome a whopping total of forty five families to our belated Mother’s Day Celebration and Afternoon Tea. It was a fantastic opportunity to share ideas, make friendships and establish further links with school. Carers and parents enjoyed a variety of light refreshments.

Thank you to all whom attended for making this one of our most successful events yet!

Last week we had tonnes of fun for World Book Day. Our shared spaces in school were transformed into immersive and interactive experiences themed on famous stories. The messy playroom was all about the Hungry Caterpillar with a fun with food messy element and a matching picture activity in coloured rice. The sensory studio became Bear Hunt with a sensory story for the children to engage with. The immersive learning room became a role play area for dressing up as our favourite literary characters. The hall became a relaxing library cafe with juice, biscuits and a chance to kick back and look at our favourite books. As well as this Gangsta Granny was on the prowl doing some role-play and drama sessions in classes.  The children had a lot of fun and developed their love for reading.

Today Rowan Tree Primary enjoyed celebrating St David’s day. Some of the children made dragons, whilst others painted daffodils and coloured Welsh flags. We made Welsh cakes and all enjoyed eating them too. Each class enjoyed a party to celebrate St David’s Day. Each class also decorated their classroom door with the arts and crafts they had made that day. Happy St David’s Day to you all. Well done everyone!

This week has seen our first block of Boxing For Better sessions come to a close, learners enjoyed an awards ceremony where they received a trophy and certificate for fantastic participation and engagement for the duration of the club. We are so proud of all they’ve achieved and how well they have represented the school. Dave, who runs Boxing For Better has sent us a short message:

We look forward to working with Dave and Boxing For Better again in the future.
