Friday 23rd September

September 23, 2016/in Mr Spong's Blog/by sadleir2021

There are some weeks when a Blog is tricky to write because I am scratching around trying to find things that have happened in the week…this week is not one of them!!!!

The Year 8s had their Business Enterprise Week – starting with a day’s activities ran by Young Enterprise on Monday; Tuesday to Thursday morning was spent forming their companies and deciding on their products/services and then writing business plans and marketing; Thursday afternoon saw them all pitch their business ideas to the Dragons in our den.  Tuesday also saw a motivational talk by Scott Saunders – from the Apprentice.  There are some really good ideas and the children    have worked really hard and have learned a lot of real life skills. A huge thank you to Miss Hurren and Miss Devine for all their efforts in organising the week’s activities.

To ensure complete realism for Business Enterprise Week we took the Year 8s to the Young Mariners base for a Middle Management strategy away day, team building exercise today – lots of fun, luckily by the sounds of things, none of the enterprise groups are selling homemade rafts!!

The Year 6s had a fantastic time in PGL and there are loads of pictures and Mr Creasey’s daily updates are elsewhere on the website please be sure to check them out.  The remaining Year 6s had an action packed week in school doing lots of different activities to their normal curriculum.

Today is European Day of Languages, this was kicked off by an assembly from Miss Hampshire on the importance of learning languages – especially since the Brexit vote.  Ask your children what percentage of the world speak English.  The rest of the day saw them doing a range of activities that included playing boules; making Venetian masks; learning about maps of Europe; cooking crêpes; and learning numbers and simple vocabulary in French, Spanish and German.

I think that’s basically it…oh unless you count a visit from Ofsted on Tuesday!! There is not much that can be said about it at the moment as we have to wait to share their findings but all I can do is praise the children who were their usual brilliant selves; and say thank you to the parents that filled out the ParentView questionnaire. 90% of you would recommend the school, which is a fantastic endorsement but we will not rest on our laurels  and we will continue to build a school that provides the best learning opportunities and support to its pupils.

Next week is no less busy with our Growth Mindset cross-curricular day and parents’ talk and our Open Evening event.

And breathe…have a great weekend.

September 18, 2016/in Mr Spong's Blog/by sadleir2021

This week saw the 6/7/8s do a full 5 days but they seemed to cope, the 5s now seem like seasoned veterans of the school.

Clubs started this week with lots of children attending the full range of activities on offer, always happy for more to join in and get involved.

The Food Tech room was a hive of activity and the corridors were filled  with wonderful aromas from what the Year 8s were cooking – attendance didn’t dramatically drop so I’m assuming it was edible…enough!!

Mr Palmen’s assembly on Wednesday was dedicated to Roald Dahl – a worthy recipient of an Honorary Ralphie nomination; Friday’s assembly saw the announcement of this year’s House Officials.

September 10, 2016/in Mr Spong's Blog/by sadleir2021

Well that’s it week one done – hello and welcome back.

The first week brings lots of excitement and new opportunities and this week has had a real positive feel throughout the school.  The boundless enthusiasm that our new year 5s bring really energises the whole school.  As well as welcoming the incoming Year 5s we have also said hello (and welcome back) to new staff and plenty of pupils, I’m sure we will all pull together in true Ralphie fashion to help them feel part of the family!y5_d

Some of you may well have heard about a notable goodbye this week – the Year 7/8 lockers.  Despite a last minute petition from some of the pupils my resolve held fast and I shared with them my convincing arguments for getting rid #riplockers!

Assemblies this week focused on setting new targets and finding the right path and beginning your journey to your future.  Mrs McIver ended the week by sharing the story of the burkini ban in France and how people have the right to express themselves through their clothing.  However this is about free time and I had to discuss school uniform with the children: shoes NOT trainers, 1 pair of plain studs, hair tied back, shirts tucked in – unless the children want to join Mr Fuller’s new lunchtime club.

There was one more notable event this week(end), our beloved Mrs Attwood celebrates a rather significant birthday – adored by all, I’m sure you will join me in wishing her many happy returns as she is rightly spoiled by the rest of team Atwood.

Have a good weekend, rest up because we have to do it all again next week!!
