Pupils and staff spent a morning in Nottingham’s Waterstones spending the money raised in the recent Readathon. The school librarians joined the 7 highest fundraisers to buy books for each classroom and stock for the library. The class representatives were given a ‘wish list’ by the rest of their class to help them ensure a wide variety of new books.

Both the boys and girls teams have been in action over the past two weeks in the annual Summer Term Rushcliffe tournaments. Both teams played really well, finishing runners up in their groups and therefore just missing out on a place in the semi finals. Well done to all concerned.

A huge THANK YOU to all parents, carers and children who have collected money for our recent Readathon. We have raised a staggering £1,349 and some children have said they have got more to bring in! This is absolutely fantastic and we really do appreciate your efforts in raising this money, particularly in times that are not easy.
Every single penny raised will be used to purchase new books for our library and with that amount we will get over 300 books, which is wonderful. I will keep you informed with the final total and include some photos from our shopping spree when we go.
Once again, on behalf of all the children who will benefit from your generosity, a big thank you!

The Vikings arrived at Robert Miles during the week before Easter, lots of them! Partake Theatre led the children through many different activities related to their history topic. Children had the opportunity to dress up, get involved in many different Viking Crafts, learn about Viking settlements, go on a Viking voyage and much more. It was a packed day and we would like to say a big thank you to all who helped the children dress up for the day, it really makes the day memorable.
There are loads of photos of the day below. Click on the images to see the full gallery, or watch the slideshow:

Eggs were flying across the playground as children competed in this year’s Egg Rolling Competition. The one who could roll their (hard boiled!) egg closest to the middle of the playground won.

As reported earlier this year, our school is part of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s national flagship education programme called the Learning and Performing Network.
We are working alongside a cluster of local schools with members of the RSC. This has involved our teachers in years 4 and 5 having drama and creative training, concentrating on practical approaches to the teaching and learning of Shakespeare in the primary and classroom.
We are now two years in to a three year project and on Monday 26th March eighteen of our children from years 4 and 5 performed Act 1 Scene 1 of Othello in the Regional Showcase at Grange Hall in Radcliffe on Trent. Our act of the play was followed by the 8 other schools in the partnership to give the audience the full story of Othello. All the children involved used the original text and put huge amounts of energy into their acting. Below you can see photos from our morning rehearsal – look at the concentration on the children’s faces!
