A RRS Harvest Festival!

We had a fantastic Harvest Festival Assembly yesterday that was interwoven with our commitment to the UNCRC. Have a look at the slides above.
The children who delivered the assembly spoke beautifully and the whole community sang with a great deal of passion. I was a very proud man indeed.

Once again, the local community has been very generous and we are now able to donate our offering to several local organisations: Treads, Bryanston Court and Charities linked to our church.

Once again - we will be singing and praising in church this Sunday to celebrate the Harvest Festival with the church.

Mr Lavis.

The New School Council

Article 12 Children should have the right to say what they think should happen when adults are making decisions that affect them and to have their opinions taken into account.

Article 3  All organisations concerned with children should work toward what is best for each child.

Tuesday 14th September.
The newly elected School Council held their first meeting.

We discussed at length exactly what the role of a school council should be and decided on the following aims;
• To listen to the ideas and views of our classmates


• To bring ideas to School council for discussion

• To take our best ideas forward and act as a link between children and management of the school.

• To represent the children of our school when decisions are being made that affect us all.

• To think of ways we can improve our school.

• To help anyone who is sad.

• To help develop the Rights Respecting ideas throughout the school

• To solve problems

• To welcome visitors and show them around our school

We then elected our new chairperson. Congratulations Holleigh!

Welcome!

Welcome to an exciting new year of RRS ideas, activities and achievements.
We will continue to develop the children's knowledge and understanding of the UNCRC [United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child]  which underpins the teaching and ethos of our school.

Article 12 Children have trhe right to say what they think should happen, when adults are making decisions that affect them, and to have their opinions taken into account,

This week the children in every class have been discussing the sort of learning environment they want for their base. Class charters have been created and signed detailing the behaviours and attitudes the children feel will lead to a classroom that is happy safe and inspiring.
The charters were shared with parents in our whole school assembly on Friday 10th September but if you missed this do check the individual class blogs for more information or come in and see our displays.
