Planting sunflowers for Science!

Owls became gardeners this afternoon as we planted sunflower seeds as part of our science topic. They were named (‘Crumpet’, ‘Coutinho’, ‘Sun Drop’, ‘Bob’ and ‘Loki’ to name a few!) and a few magic touches made in hope they become the tallest in class! We will be observing the growth stages as they progress and learning about life cycles. We can’t wait to see these bloom having chosen them with thought to the Ukraine.

Cross-curricular Art / RE

As part of our RE topic, ‘Creation & Science: Conflicting or Complementary?’, we have been learning how to use acrylic paints on fabric to create a new wall-hanging which will tell the Christian story of Creation, according to Genesis. Owls were encouraged to think about symbols and colour which would reflect the meaning of each day of the Creation story.

We look forward to seeing the final product!

Jubilee Celebrations—whole school homework task

On Saturday 4th June, the village will be holding a Jubilee Picnic Party (12-3pm) on the school field to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.  There will be refreshments, fun and games, competitions, vintage vehicles, music, a raffle and much more.  As part of this, we would like our school to contribute towards the festivities by making a Jubilee themed model/statue to be displayed in the school grounds.  Models must be weatherproof as they will be left outside.  Suggestions from the children for subjects have included: royal animals, significant figures from the last 70 years such as Winston Churchill or even your own family redesigned as royalty. Collaborations between families and friends are welcomed.  Please bring your creations to school by Thursday 26th May.  We cannot wait to see what you come up with.

 

If you have any queries, please contact Mrs Hollis or Miss Horton.

A fond farewell to Mrs Hughes

Today we bid farewell to our brilliant Nursery Leader, Mrs Steph Hughes, who has led Nursery in the village for an incredible 24 years! Steph is moving on to a new role in the NHS and we wish her all the very best in her next chapter. She will be very missed, but has already been working on a handover with our new Nursery Leader, Mrs Lauren Taundry, who has a background in Nursery education and is delighted to be joining us at Ruyton. We wish her a very warm welcome to our great team!
