57We had a special @HelpPicture this week. We looked at how poppies have changed over time. Children think it’s a great idea that poppies will now be plastic free. We also enjoyed talking about which materials would be best for poppies last longer.
46Rock Kidz Day! We loved singing and dancing and Reception really loved the dance battle between children and teachers.

54Today in PE our aim was to copy, remember and repeat actions that represent the theme. As our theme was pirates we finished with a class favourite WALK THE PLANK! Well done year 1!
48Year 5 thought about their culture and listed things that represent this. Sharing our lists with others in our class helped us understand cultural differences. Children also respectfully discussed ways to avoid conflict.
61Before we start developing our own recipes, we taste tested bolognese sauce from jars. We rated their appearance, texture, smell and taste before we studied the ingredient list and nutritional values. There was a clear divide in results.
55Rock Kidz visit @RobyParkSchool every year and it NEVER disappoints Thanks for ROCKING with us AGAIN
54Today we arrived at school to find a pet star! We read the story ‘My Pet Star’ and thought that we need to look after our new friend to help him get his glow back! We used the clues that we found to help him! #RPEnglish

65Today year 1 and @Year2RobyPark had their first after school @LEGO_Group club. The children enjoyed working collaboratively to create a variety of different structures from gardens to towers, whilst having fun along the way! #RPEnrichment #RPExtracurricular
59In our @ELITE_Swim_UK swimming lesson today, we worked to begin to swim front crawl across the pool. We also practiced the life-saving skill of floating on our backs, both with a float and in the star shape with no float. Year 3 are gaining so much confidence! #RPPE
57In swimming with @ELITE_Swim_UK the children used floats to help them develop their kicking and breathing technique when using front crawl . We also practised floating on our back and had the chance to have some fun with different equipment #RPPE #RPEnrichment
58Who do these items belong to? How are they connected? What was being made? Are they from the past? What is he dreaming about? Why does the dream control him? Does he return? So many questions from Year 5
62Every morning we record the temperature and rainfall @EdinaTrust @Professor_Plant #BulbBuddies
57Time spent outside with @Littlefoothq always makes us smile. Today we identified leaves and named the trees they had come from as well as secured hammocks and raced to start a fire

62This week in DT, Y2 have designed, created and ate healthy wraps that met a specific design brief. They considered different flavour combinations and the importance of using ingredients from different food groups to ensure the meal was balanced.
45Each day this week, we will be sharing tips with you to help you cut your carbon. Why not go meat free for a day? We would love to see what you have cooked up!
46

43Year 4 built their own torches out of a range of different materials We used the bottom of a plastic bottle to create the housing. Then we made the reflector out of the top half by wrapping it in tin foil. Finally, we had to add the electrical elements
52As we try to cut carbon why not substitute 4 baths for 4 showers? Limiting showers to 4 minutes can help you save 44 litres of water!
51We have been busy today planning our own twist on a traditional narrative after looking at Rapunzel by @bethanwoollvinWe used our planning circles and then spent a little time reading back the stories we have planned before we start writing them! @LiteracyCounts1 #RPEnglish
