Thank you to Reverend Burns, the Worship Council and the children for their contributions.
We look forward to seeing you all at our ‘normal’ service next year in the Church, along with the annual picnic lunch! Thank you for your continued support.
Congratulations to Anouk for earning her gymnastic medals. These two are for participating and we have our fingers crossed for your final results Anouk! Keep us posted!
And congratulations to Rhys for competing in the 5k at the Running Festival in Brynkinalt and coming 3rd. He beat adults and children older than him to achieve this fantastic result.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped us raise a whopping £788 for our Fun Run which was held earlier this term. We can’t believe how much we raised!
Thank you to the Friends for their support in creating this event – we had a blast doing it whilst it was all for a great cause. Well done Team Ruyton!
We were delighted to be able to hold our annual Sports Day today at Ruyton, even though it wasn’t our ‘usual’ occasion we still made the best of the current restrictions and held this annual favourite in our class bubbles. Tedsmore Green were the overall House winners on the day! Well done to you all.
We are thrilled to be able to share some of the races and our day via the video link below – please enjoy.
A huge well done and thank you to our fantastic children for such brilliant displays of sport – there was lots of laughter, some big smiles and plenty of determined faces! A fantastic morning all round. Thank you to the families of our school for your continued support.
Dragonfly Class had a creative, fun and productive Arts Week around the theme of ‘Planet Earth 2021’. We explored the book “Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth” by Oliver Jeffers and then went on to learn about the ocean animals that are currently on the World Wildlife Fund’s Endangered Species List 2021. This developed skills across the curriculum including measurement in mass (tuna fish are huge!), habitats in science (including food chains, habitats, survival and evolution) plus reading, communication skills, geographical knowledge, climates, physical co-ordination … the list goes on!
The children were fantastic all week: teamwork, perserverance and focus in abundance! A big thank you to them all for making my week such a pleasure whilst producing some brilliant results 🌟 🌟 🌎 🌊 🌟 🌟

In Owl Class, we are using the book ‘Here we are; Notes for living on planet earth’ by Oliver Jeffers. Today, we drew and outlined our silk paintings in gutta and made models of ourselves out of foil, cardboard and masking tape.
We laughed, ran, sang, walked and some even cartwheeled! Thank you to everyone who sponsored our children for their annual Fun Run; we had such a brilliant time and it was so lovely to see all the school participating in an event together in the warmer weather!
A huge thank you to our Friends Of Ruyton group who set the wheels in motion and got this event going; our children and staff are so lucky to have your support and encouragement whilst working to make our school an even better place for learning. We are very grateful to each and every one of you!
Thank you also to everyone who sponsored the children – we can’t wait to see how much we raised!
Finally, a massive ‘well done’ to the children (and staff!) who kept moving the whole 30 minutes – many at a speedy run (with Nick setting the pace!) and some clocking up a whopping 3 miles!
Happy half term everyone ☀️
