This week in nursery class we have been learning about

bugs so we decided to go on a mini beast hunt in the

mud kitchen!

We were all armed with our special bug hunting

equipment and dug high and low to find different

creatures before heading back to class and completing

a checklist of the things we had found. See the pictures

to find out our discoveries! Press here for more.

Reception Class had another session with

one of our lovely mums who taught the

children how to tap dance. They are growing

in confidence and thoroughly enjoying the

sessions so a massive thank you to Ulrike for

giving up her time to further enrich the

children’s experiences. Here’s a selection of

photos from their latest session. Press here

Sports Day was the highlight of the week and indeed one of

the many in our school calendar. It was the perfect setting at

Shoreditch Park with wonderful weather and a fantastic

atmosphere.

So on Wednesday 17th

June, the school headed off up the road

to Shoreditch Park and took part in a variety of races, field

events and of course the Parents’ races.

All children had the opportunity to throw the shot-put,

javelin, discus and water balloons, to race short and long

distance and relay, and to cheer on their teams.

The children were placed into teams of Red, Blue and

Yellow and wore predominantly those colours. For

each event, they could either win a 1st

, 2nd

or 3rd

place

sticker, and all the while, the adults were on the

lookout for which children would be worthy of the

coveted medals for showing exceptional

sportspersonship.

As the Early Years children did their races, the older

children were on the field hurling javelins, shot-puts

and discuses and then they swapped. Once all the

events were complete, it was time for the parents

to race. It was a legendary battle resulting in near-

carnage in the men’s race. Congratulations to Susan

and Ross for pipping their opponents to the post! I

have an unmissable video of sports day including

these races (in slow motion for extra drama) on the

blog. Press here to view.

The results:

3rd

– 226 points – Blue Team

2nd

– 227 points – Yellow Team

1st

– 228 points – Red Team

So congratulations to Red Team, but well done

to everyone. As you can see, it couldn’t have

been a closer competition.

Thank you to everyone for coming along, the

staff who helped put the event together and, of

course, to the children for helping to create a

wonderful atmosphere. There were no bad

losers, gloating winners or bad tempers. All

children displayed the very best of what we

really appreciate about Rosemary Works’

children.

It was all about Sports Day today in Celebration Assembly. Children received

certificates for trying their best, never giving up, cheering on their team and

congratulating their friends regardless of which team they were in and for that, they

deserved this accolade.

Instead of prizes this week, we gave out eight medals for one girl and one boy from

each class for going just that little extra mile to demonstrate sportspersonship. Even

though all the children were excellent during Sports Day, these children were

amazing. Press here to see all the photos from Sports Day on our Facebook page

(you don’t need to befriend us to see them, nor have a Facebook account, but if

you wish to ‘like’ the photos or follow Rosemary Works, that would be great!).

The Musician of the Week went to Violet in Nursery Class. Paul said that she is doing

so well with the preparations for the summer show. She has made a huge

improvement throughout the year and her singing voice has really come along! It

was fantastic to hear her 'belting it out' whilst practising the 'Alice in Wonderland'

songs this week. She is always so well behaved in lessons and kind to her friends.

Keep it up and well done you!

Reception Class Rafi, for fantastic listening and dancing when George's mummy came in to do more tap dancing with

us this week. We were really impressed with how well you copied and tapped out the different steps -

super rhythm Rafi, we loved your moves!

weeks and has been wonderful in class!

Dress Up and Dance

Today we hosted Dress up and Dance for Macmillan Cancer Research. The children came to school in either sporty or dance clothes and we all had a go at the set dances that Macmillan supplied. Year 1 and 2 particularly enjoyed the routines as you’ll see in the video here. Thank you for all your contributions. Next week I will reveal how much money we raised for this excellent cause. At the time of press, we hadn’t run the fruit smoothie and fruit kebab stall, so watch this space to see how that went!

Thank You and Good Luck to Sheryl

As of today, Sheryl starts her maternity leave. Sheryl has been with Rosemary Works School for four years and has waved her magic to many of our children. She is such a lovely teacher that we’re sure she will be a lovely mummy too and we all thank her for all that she has done for us at school and wish her all the very best with her little family. We all very much look forward to seeing him/her. Thank you Sheryl x
