Diary dates
Temperature
Y3 have been exploring how to read degrees on the thermometer this week. They looked carefully at the scale and were able to explain how they arrived at their answer.
Science Ambassadors take over assembly
Our science ambassadors have delivered their very own presentation about our scientists of the term: Isaac Newton. The children demonstrated excellent communication skills and a great deal of confidence while sharing key facts and details about this very famous scientist.
Dragon eyes
As Y5 work towards their quest to build upon their artistic skills, they have begun to explore textures and how this can be achieved across many different media. Using collage, weaving and sewing, the y5 children have created some fantastic learning outcomes.
Free verse poetry
Year 4 we have looked at different types of poetry leading to writing a free verse poem. The children used their critical and creative skills to write some fantastic poems about the plague.

‘Allyship’ with RUFC
Y6 had the privilege of talking with Mark (Rotherham United football coach) about the issues the club faces with racism. As their NEMESIS project aims to tackle racism in our local community, they discussed the differences between non-racist and anti-racist and considered what they could do as a school to develop equality and support the ‘Allyship’ work. The children were inspired by the workshop and are looking forward to making a difference for their future.
Every Kid Healthy Week
On 26th April, children across school participated in ‘Every Kid Healthy Week.’ Each day, we completed activities which promoted health and wellbeing. We completed mindfulness yoga, explored healthy diets and participated in fitness challenges.
We would also like to say a huge congratulations to Miss Stanton who got married at the weekend. Her married name is Mrs Grayson. HERRINGTHORPE JUNIOR SCHOOL, CHATTERTON DRIVE, ROTHERHAM. S65 2JW.

Internet Safety
We continue to have reports of instances of inappropriate use on devices. Please monitor what your child is doing when they are on their phone, laptop, iPad etc. School cannot be responsible for dealing with issues that are happening at home. We are working hard to educate the children on safe internet use - this theme spans the breadth of our curriculum. If you would like advice or some resources to help you support your child to use technology appropriately and keep them safe this is a great website: https://www.net-aware.org.uk/. We have lots of resources also available on our school website.

Keep moving and collecting those points! Remember, points mean prizes! Take lots of photos of you out and about with the Beat Boxes and send them to your class teacher!
