We've been in the paper again! The Colchester Gazette published an article celebrating the STEM learning our Year 5 and 6 pupils enjoyed last week as part of a WW1 commemoration project.
We’ve been gifted some brilliant accessories from Micro Scooters for our school! Micro is not only about scooting, they also offer a wide variety of safety must-haves suitable for bikes and scooters, including helmets and kneepads.
We really encourage you to look at what safety accessories your child has for when they are out and about scooting and biking. Find out more about the kind of accessories Micro offer at... https://www.micro-scooters.co.uk/knee-elbow-pads
Roach Vale Primary School was alive with colour, music, and the spirit of Spain today as children and staff celebrated their annual International Day. This year the children ‘took a trip’ to Spain to learn about Spanish culture. Children made castanets and maracas, crafted their own Spanish fans, explored surrealist art inspired by Salvador Dalà and abstract works by Pablo Picasso, and even constructed model Spanish guitars. A special highlight of the day was a visit from Ms Theobald from Multidance who led workshops on El Candil, a traditional Spanish folk dance that had pupils twirling with joy. Paella and churros for lunch was an extra special treat too!
World Book Day 2025 was a huge hit with children donnign amazing costumes from their favourite books. We had a costume parade around the playground, prizes for the most imginative costumes and lot of reading happening throughout the day. The children spent the day having lots of reading adventures including searching for yetis, travelling the world with Paddington, making potions with Harry Potter and taking a ride on the 100 decker bus. We love our house days and this one was great!
Our Year 3 children spent the morning at Welshwood Manor Care Home to sing Christmas songs for the residents. They were amazed to see a lady aged 101 years old singing along with them. It was a morning filled with Christmas joy!
