Fantastic group work and creativity in the snow today ☃️❄️ Rise Multi Academy Trust

Hot chocolate was definitely needed at forest school today! Lots of team work and digging today to keep us warm. We saw footprints in the snow and watched the snow glisten in the sun.

Oh yes we did - go to the pantomime today! The children and staff all enjoyed watching Snow White!

Christmas party for EYFS and key stage 1 - with a very special guest!

Class 1 forest school this week was mostly exploring art in the style of Andy Goldsworthy. We moved our big pieces of wood and used leaves and smaller sticks. We added and changed our designs as our ideas evolved. We also loved watching our slow-mo videos of a brick splashing!

For their homework this week, Class 3 designed and built some fantastic Christmas packaging to protect a crisp as it is dropped from a great height, kicked like a football and thrown high into the air. We had a brilliant afternoon testing and evaluating them. Well done everyone!

Class 2 were so excited to post letters to Santa and everyone received a letter back. A huge thank you to Santa’s elves who help him reply to our children’s letters. It was truly magical 🎅🏽

Our sELFy station was very popular at Class 1&2 Christmas party #Rise_mat

Class 3 had a fantastic morning investigating why the Anglo-Saxons converted to Christianity. We did lots of group work where we were able to practise our debating and oracy skills.

The recent flood has unfortunately caused more damage than first thought, so it is looking unlikely that we will be able to return at Easter 😔 Our hall floor was severely damaged, the walls are still not dry and every piece of wood has been removed.

Class 2 have produced amazing self portraits. They’re on display for a limited time at Rearsby village hall

Spring has appeared. Despite the flood our daffodils are springing up

Collective Worship held in our playground this morning. As the builders begin repairing our school, we are grateful to be able to visit

Class 3 have had a settled night after an action packed Viking day - now to breakfast

Our brilliant Year 4s were a credit to themselves and the whole school when they performed at the Rise Voices concert last week. 🎶🎤 Rise Multi Academy Trust

First day of residential and they make us walk the plank!

Class 4 have made their own rafts, now for some splashing around on the river! #RISE_mat

Enjoying our last sunset of our residential. We will be home tomorrow

So class 4 residential is complete. We may be home but have so many funny stories and happy memories to share. We faced our fears, tried new things and had fun. We are so proud of each and every one of you!

Our Early Years provision is starting to come together - lots of lovely new equipment. Miss Smith is busy setting up #earlyyears #EarlyExcellence #flourishandsuceed
