Keep up to date with what's happening in school.
New arrivals! Nestled within our vibrant learning environment, Reception have the responsibility of looking after 6 duck eggs over the next few weeks. By doing this, we are actively supporting the preservation of pure and rare poultry breeds, some of which are listed as 'at risk' with the Rare Breeds Survival Trust.
We have been learning all about the life cycles of different animals and how to care for them. We are so excited for them to hatch!
Staff members completed their fire warden training today. Everyone involved gained in-depth fire safety knowledge and brushed up on their extinguisher skills.

We are pleased to have been presented with an Anaphylaxis UK AllergyWise School 2024 award. The award recognises our commitment to training staff, raising allergy awareness with pupils and encouraging a whole school awareness approach to help ensure that our pupils with allergies are safe in school.
What a wonderful morning we've had!! Thank you to Gabby Dawnay for sharing her beautiful book with us - If I Had a Crocodile and Alex Barrow for sharing his illustrations with us and teaching us how to draw a crocodile.
Thank you to Karen Owen for sharing her journey as an author with us today. It was great to hear what inspires her to write stories and we look forward to reading her next book in the Mayor and Mynah series.
Year 6 had an amazing visit from Alice Hemming, where she showcased her new book 13th Vampire and talked to children about her writing process and how she creates such amazing descriptive books. The children then had a chance to show off some of their creative writing to Alice and have one of her books signed by her.
Year 6 would like to thank Alice for such a great visit!
Reception buzzed with excitement this afternoon as we played host to some delightful guests! Two bearded dragons and a tortoise. We talked about how to look after a pet, what they eat and what type of vet they see if they are poorly.
We are excited to announce that our copy of 'Perfect Pets 2023' arrived in the post today showcasing the illustrations that children in Rockmount Children's Club submitted last term.
We will be looking at the book in assemblies next week and the children are very excited to see their illustrations in a published book.
Have a look at a couple of great drawings here.
Congratulations to all who took part.
