A Huge Thank You!

Rio Week couldn't have happened without the help and support from the whole of the Rowde Academy team, Mrs Fox, teachers, TAs, school staff, children and parents.

So thank you for organising PE kits, packed lunches and whatever else your child or children needed it really helped.

A HUGE thank you goes to the parents who drove children to events or supported children at events, either by watching or supervising.

But I need to give the final word to the parents that supported me hugely in putting all the Olympic themed carnival costumes together for procession, it was a project that never could have happened without you. So thank you!

Our final Rio Day

On Friday all of the Devizes Primary schools met together at Southbroom St. James for the Athletics and Closing Ceremony and whilst the weather wasn't brilliant it was another memory filled day. Made even better by Great Bear's continual and consistent excellent behaviour, attitude and participation.

Here are lots of photos of the day.

                                           We all played together after lunch big and little!

Rio Week!

Well, what a week! It has been a huge undertaking for teachers and school staff across Devizes, any event that I attended was amazingly organised, fun, enjoyable and full of Olympic spirit. Your children have been nothing but fantastic, their behaviour, attitude and willingness to give everything a try has been outstanding. We are all very proud.

Here are lots of photos, apologies for the quality in some places but the weather made it tricky at times to even see what I was taking photos of!

Gymnastics at Melksham School of Gymnastics

On Tuesday we went to Trinity School for our Year One Athletics Morning, it was brilliant fun and a lovely inclusive and relaxed atmosphere. Great Bear Class were divided into 10 Countries, they then teamed up with children from other schools to create one big team. There were 10 activities that were based around, throwing, catching, running, balance and team work, each country moving round to try most activities. We ran out of time! At lunch time all the children played together in one big mixed school group. 

The winning countries!
