Carnival day at Ringshall school - complete with a live 'Samba Band.' 14.7.21

The children and been making carnival masks, listening and dancing to the the Samba band and even having a go at playing the drums with the band. The beat and spirit of carnival are alive at Ringshall Primary School.

Exhibition time! 13.7.21

What an amazing exhibition by Blue and Violet Classes! The children have obviously been working hard in their topics about the Greeks and about Mexico. The ‘visitors’ absolutely loved it! Well done to all the children!!

As you are no doubt aware, Sunday is a big day for this country. England are playing in the European Cup final. Now I know not everyone will be watching it but many of our children are desperate to support the team on Sunday night and we would like to encourage you to let them stay up and watch the match and then let them sleep in the next morning (Monday).

We will be leaving the registers open until 10.30 on Monday for any families who want (or can) drop their children off later. Staff will be in as normal for the children that arrive at 8.40 or after.

This is a once in a lifetime (hopefully not!) occasion with England being in the final of a major football tournament. We would like to encourage you to talk to your children during the game about national pride, the anthem, fair play, anti racism and possibly (hopefully not) how to deal with disappointment and not always winning.

Good luck England and enjoy the game.

Sports Day at Ringshall 8.7.21

This years sports day at Ringshall may have lacked parent supporters but it made up for it with the enthusiasm of the children. The weather was kind and the activities were enjoyed by all the children. A range of round robin events in the morning, from hurdles to basketball throws, and running races in the afternoon, including a teachers race. Well done everyone one at Ringshall School for making the day so memorable.

Well done to the children who asked such thoughtful questions!
