Year 5 trip to China:       On Friday 11^th April, some of our Year 5 children returned from a once in a lifetime school trip to China. They all had a fantastic time and learnt so much about Chinese culture and customs. The trip was planned perfectly to provide the children with a good balance of sightseeing – this included them experiencing the world famous Shanghai Tower, the Bund and the Yellow Crane Tower, in Wuhan. They were also welcomed to two schools in Wuhan, where they participated in traditional Chinese lessons like calligraphy and Chinese knot making.

 

RSD Visit to Pizza Express: On Tuesday 29^th April, RSD enjoyed an exciting trip to Pizza Express in Warwick to make their own pizzas. The children were given chef hats and aprons and were shown how to roll out their own dough and flip it over.  The children added the tomato base and cheese before the pizza chefs put them into the oven. To end their amazing pizza experience the children got to have a pizza picnic in the park before enjoying a well-earned play on the playground, some games and an ice cream!

 

School Council visit to Spencer’s Retreat:    On Thursday 5th June, our School Council members visited Spencer’s Retreat to find out how our weekly school food donations to the local farm have been used. The children met Farmer Phil and Farmer Steve and found out lots of information about how the animals are fed and where the food comes from. The children were able to feed the animals and enjoyed meeting Arthur the goat, Nuzzle the Alpaca and Faye the pig, whilst finding out that our food waste is being used to keep these local farm animals fit and healthy.
