Owls – Arts Week – Mosaic and Acrylic

For our arts week in Owl Class, Mr Arthur’s days have been spent making mosaic tiles and acrylic layered paints.

With our theme of Italy, the mosaics are linked to the Ancient Romans who believed in the Greek Gods and depicted them in their expensive buildings (rich houses, government buildings, bathhouses). The children researched online for a guide and then spent monday and tuesday tiling with glue and then grouting for the finish. They turned out great!

For the acrylic painting, the children understood that it dries quickly and can be used for detail to be added onto a background. We spoke about brush size, colours that mix well and used Italian landscapes as inspiration for our artwork.

Y5/6 Rounders at the Corbet

Our Owl Class rounders team played excellently today at the corbet. Despite only drawing the first game, we won 2 back to back games, then lost a game to the overall winners in our group stage. We then won our final game after progressing through. We are awaiting final results but I was so impressed by the leadership qualities from some players and the determination to keep going. Our sportsmanship on the whole was great too. Great work Ruyton!

Year 6 SATS DONE! :)

A huge well done to our hard working Year 6s who have completed their SATs this week. And more excitingly, the LEAVERS HOODIES have arrived!

With a big chocolate cake to celebrate, the Year 6s are looking very grown up all of a sudden. We are very proud of you all for your perseverance and determination this week.

VE Day 80 Celebrations

This week we had a super time commemorating and celebrating VE Day 80 and on the day itself we came to school dressed in red, white and blue or in 1940’s style clothing. Mrs Bradshaw looked particularly fabulous in her suit! At 9am we joined in with the National Proclamation marking the anniversary. This was read for us by John Gittins with Eva playing the part of the village crier with an excellent “oyez, oyez, oyez!” Later in the day we came back out onto the field to listen to the pealing of the church bells. In our classes we carried out activities to help us understand the significance of the day in history and to our lives today.

At lunchtime we enjoyed a fish and chip picnic and we even found time to fit our annual fun run in to the day! We really enjoyed the ice pops and biscuits from the Friends after all the running and were very pleased with our medals to recognise our efforts. Thank you Friends!
