• The Book Bus Visits!

  Tue 24 Sep 2024 S Tague

  Last Thursday the Book Bus visited RPS. This mobile book fayre gave children the chance to purchase books to develop and encourage their love of reading. We were amazed at how many books our children purchased - over £1200 in fact! As a result, school received over £200 worth of books for the classrooms. Thank you very much for supporting this and to Mrs Pushkarich for organising the event.

• Year 4-5 Maya Day

  Tue 24 Sep 2024 S Tague

  Last week our Otters, Puffins and Foxes were treated to a fantastic enrichment day to bring their Maya history topic to life. The children were treated to a fantastic fun-filled educational day by the world renowned Maya archaeologist Dr Diane Davies. She has produced countless books and publications on the Maya civilisation and enjoyed sharing this wealth of knowledge with our children. The Maya civilisation existed from as far back as 2000BC. Our children learnt a great deal which has hooked them into this term's history topic.
