Rodborough Community Primary School

Year 5 spent an amazing day in London.  First stop was a visit to the Science Museum where they spent time in the Exploring Space Gallery.  Later they made their way across to the Houses of Parliament where they were treated to a behind the scenes guided tour which also included a visit to the Houses of Lords and Commons to listen to some politicians debating!

Thank you to everyone who came along to our family planting session.  Everybody had a lovely time in the sunshine planting their Gladioli bullbs.

The Rodborough Rowing Team had an excellent time at their competition and demonstrated outstanding teamwork and support for each offer.  We are proud to announce that they finished in first place!  Well done to all children who attended and to all of Years 5 and 6 who completed the rowing lessons at school.

It was really exciting to meet some of our local police team; PCSO Jo, Police Officer Amy and Police Officer Ben.  Reception learnt lots about how they keep us all safe and what to do if something is worrying us.

Y6 visited the Stroud District Council Offices to take part in Mock Trials.  Mock Trials are an opportunity for primary schools to take on the roles within a magistrate court (including the defendant and witnesses) and experience the first step in the British Justice System.

Year 3 had a fantasic Viking experience day in which they played games, handled some Viking artefacts and weapons, tried on some clothes and acted out some stories and battles.  It was an action packed, information filled day. 

Year 6 recently attended the much anticipated Young Voices Concert in Birmingham.  Having the opportunity to sing and dance with professionals was incredible.  With torches lit and t-shirts on, they welcomed the audience along with 6000 other children in the arena, they sang, they danced, they laughed! 

Thanks to Year 6 FGR ambassadors, we were able to organise for 4 football scholars from Forest Green Rovers to come to school.  They began their visit by holding a whole school assembly and then came out to play at breaktime.  It was the biggest game of football we have had!

After a fantastic time outside they delivered a PSHE lesson in Year 5.  We are looking forward to future visits. 

It has been wonderful to have class visits from our PCSO Amy Webb.  So far Years 3, 4 and 5 have welcomed PC Webb and visits to other classes are in the diary.

Year 4 kicked off the start to the Academic Year with a sketching walk along the Stroud Canal.  The children stopped at various places to observe and record the environment around them.  It was such a treat to get out and about again!
