Fred ran an after school club this term creating musical instruments with the children out of scrap.

Today it was Nursery Class’ turn to share all the lovely things they have been learning in class with the school and with their parents and relatives. It was so impressive how they had the confidence to stand up in front of a packed audience and deliver their lines so clearly and loudly. It was also impressive to see how lovely their artwork was, their singing and movement was great fun and they organised themselves extremely well. It was a shame not to see a few children who have fallen foul to chicken pox, but we wish them all the best and hope they return to school soon – fit and well.

    impressive to see how lovely their artwork was, their singing and movement was great fun and

    they organised themselves extremely well. It was a shame not to see a few children who have

    fallen foul to chicken pox, but we wish them all the best and hope they return to school soon fit

    and well. Press here to see a recording of the assembly. Thank you to Mica, Jay, Shirley, Cassie

    to learn about sinking

    and floating. MORE

    nice seasonal activities

    such as a fitness egg

    hunt and had some

  • On Monday, children from Years 1 to 4 headed over

    to the Stratford Picturehouse to take part in the annual

    London Youth Film Awards organised and hosted by

    our Media Studies teacher Paul. As you know, the

    children at school are often making short films as are

    other London schools, so the event was a celebration

    of movie making with youngsters. They watched not

    only their own films but shorts that other schools had

    produced which culminated in the awards ceremony.

    Were delighted that one of our movies won Dollys

    documentary. Here is the winning video for you to see.

    Well done to all the schools who got involved!

    Student Voice chose Alannah this week to grill.

    Alannah has been a stalwart in the office forming

    lovely relationships with the children and her

    infectious laugh cracks up all the staff!

    They asked:

    1) What is your favourite part of the job?

    Talking to everyone in school.

    2) What is your hobby?

    Netball and travelling.

    3) What is your favourite song and why?

    Six60 Dont Forget Your Roots because it

    reminds me of home (New Zealand).

    4) What is your fondest memory of RW so far?

    The Summer Fete and Family Days which

    are always fun.

    5) What was the funniest thing that has

    happened to you?

    Bumping into Harry Styles in Hoxton Street!

    Last Saturday the Parents Network at Rosemary

    Works School hosted their annual Family Fun Day

    to a packed group of parents, grandparents and

    children. Safari Pete returned to entertain and

    educate the children with his animals, there was

    face painting, and lots of baked goodies and

    sandwiches, and the drinks flowed aplenty!

    It was a lovely afternoon with a wonderful

    atmosphere, happy children, some sozzled

    parents and top-notch organisation from the

    parents network. Special thanks to Jim, Matt,

    Michelle, Alannah, Ross, Lora, Kathryn, Kate,

    Mette and everyone who did their bit to make

    this afternoon so special. Press here for more.

  • This week, Im delighted to see that all classes received

    certificates for showing determination in various ways. As it

    is Easter coming soon, they all won a little Easter egg for

    their efforts as did the prize winners and every child took

    away a little Easter treat for being so hard working and

    lovely this term. Well done to all!

    Our Artists of the Week went to Rudy in Nursery Class for his

    beautiful drawing of his favourite animal as seen in the

    assembly. Lovely stuff Rudy!

    The Media Star of the Week went to Alexis in Year 1. Paul

    wrote: I loved your account of the recent school trip to the

    film awards event. You concentrated and

    followed instructions well and produced one of your best

    pieces of writing, there was so much detail! It was great to

    see you as the 'Enormous Crocodile' on the big screen also,

    well done for your acting and delivery of your lines. Your

    confidence is really growing!

    Nursery

    Giovanni for being extra thoughtful toward his friends this

    week.

    PRIZE Otis

    Reception

    Kostya for settling into his new class so well; very admirable

    how, after three days at school, he performed brilliantly in the

    class assembly.

    PRIZE Esme

    Year 1

    Romi for using his great imagination in literacy classes this

    week.

    PRIZE Milo

    maths showing determination.

    during a class performance this week.

    PRIZE Ava

    Pupil numbers are looking good for next academic year. We will

    continue to have 12 children going into Year 4/5 and slightly

    fewer in Years 2 and 3 (separately). The Early Years classes and

    Year 1 are full with waiting lists and we are confident that more

    admissions will enter Years 2+ throughout the year.
