• Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations at RPS

  Thu 26 May 2022 KRiley

  We have had a fabulous day celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.  The children all looked great dressed in red, white and blue and all enjoyed our picnic lunch on the field.  In the lead up to the celebration the children made bunting, flags and decorations which were waved and displayed on the day.  Each class also painted portraits of the Queen which were displayed in the school hall.  It was great as each class chose a different style.  Please see the photos below.

  Today The Robins class were very lucky to receive some balanceability training.  Sean, our coach showed the children how to ride a balance bike safely.  They practised gliding and stopping and riding around obstacles with control.  They also had some mini races and played some games at the end, once they had developed their skills.  It was great fun and the children had smiles on their faces throughout.  

  

• Harvest donations go to the foodbank in Swadlincote

  Tue 16 Nov 2021

  Yesterday I took the fantastic donations that our community have given this year for our harvest festival. The decision was made to donate our produce to the Hill Street Baptist Church food bank in Swadlincote as some of our families have benefited from this over the past year. Petra, pictured here with Mr Tague, was overwhelmed by the generosity of our school community and said this will go a long way and was very much appreciated. 

   

  Thank you again to everyone that donated this year.
