What's happening in school?

• June Collaborative Learning Week

  Tue 16 May 2023

  Our next collaborative learning week will take place after half term (wb 5th June). Following the coronation, the theme across school will be 'Celebrations'. Each year group will learn more about a range of multi-cultural and multi-faith celebrations. See attached image.
  
  A big part of the success of collaborative weeks is always the support parents can offer to these themes so that our children find out more about the heritage of families and friends of the Rickleton community. If any parents/grandparents/friends etc felt able to offer support for any of the topics shown in the attached image, whether this be by sharing resources or coming in to talk to children, please contact the school office so a member of staff can contact you to discuss.

• School Garden!

  Tue 09 May 2023

  Staff from Gentoo popped in to our garden this week to drop off some new gardening equipment they had provided a grant for. Our community garden is looking lovely and will allow our children to use the garden for some great learning and wellbeing activities over the coming spring and summer weeks. Thanks to our dedicated volunteers who give up some of their days and evenings to tend to the garden. If you know anyone interested in offering their time to support the community garden, please contact the school office.
