Thank you to all the helpers who ensured everything went so smoothly.
Nothing beats a primary school sports day!
It was a great event, and I want to congratulate House Jericho for their impressive achievement in coming 1st. Well done, Jericho! As a symbol of their victory, the George Felto Cup now proudly displays their colours in green. Additionally, Jericho has earned 100 points for their House.
We are very proud of all the children that competed in KS2 sports day and thank you to all the helpers.

Important changes below if your child plays an instrument with Rotherham Music or if your child would like to start playing an instrument next year.

Music centre information 23-24
Rotherham Music
Dear Parent/Carer,
We are writing to you from Rotherham Music to update you on pricing and information about music lessons at your child’s school, for the next academic year.
For existing players:
• Please familiarise yourself with the new pricing structure for September as changes have been made. If you are unsure about the type of lesson your child is receiving or would like to specify a lesson type, please email music@rotherham.gov.uk or call 01709 808232. You can also message your child’s teacher through the Eepos app.
• For those having paid £55 for 2 terms or more, you will automatically be moved onto the paired option at £86 a term, unless requesting an individual lesson. This is because it is now an introductory offer only.
• Unless we are informed by email to music@rotherham.gov.uk before the end of term to say that your child no longer wishes to continue, we will assume that lessons will be continuing in September and you will be charged.
• If you have not yet registered on Eepos, or have registered but not yet logged onto the app, it is imperative that you do so. Through Eepos you can see your child’s attendance to music lessons, message the teachers directly and the app will send you invoices to your email to let you know when it’s time to pay for lessons.
• To register on Eepos, follow this link on a web browser (not the app) https://rotherham.eepos.fi . We will then approve your registration request, and only then will you receive login credentials to be able to login on the Eepos app. If you have registered but not logged in yet and need a password reset, please get in touch and we can do this for you.
• Please see our schedule of music centre activities which take place after school at Rawmarsh CLC. Playing in an ensemble supports the learning taking place in school and at home and is the most fun part of playing an instrument.
For new players wishing to start an instrument:
• Please fill in the expression of interest form attached and return to music@rotherham.gov.uk. Note that not all of the instruments are guaranteed to be delivered in your school. Please fill in with 1st and 2nd choice and the lesson type you would prefer as well as your details. This is not an official registration for lessons. Once we have received your form, we will then check instrument and teacher availability and will email you with registration information to sign up to Eepos. Only then will you be registered for lessons.
If you have any questions regarding the above information, please do get in touch.

Earlier this year, we introduced a new PE kit protocol, where children came to school wearing their PE kit. While this change received mixed feedback from parents, we value your opinions and want to find a solution that works best for everyone.
To address the issue regarding PE kits, we would like to invite parents to participate in a voting process. Your input will help us determine the preferred approach moving forward. We have outlined two options for you to consider:
Option 1:
Children bring their PE kit in a named bag and leave it at school. It is the responsibility of both the child and parent to ensure the kit is regularly taken home for washing. Teachers will empty the cloakrooms every half term to facilitate this process.
Option 2:
Children come to school wearing their PE kits.
To gather your votes, Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. Jepson will be sending out a voting poll within the next two weeks. Your vote truly counts and will play a significant role in shaping our PE kit protocol.
Thank you for your continued support and active involvement in shaping our school policies.
Look out for the poll on Class Dojo!
Today, Year 4 were lucky to have a maths lesson with lots of teachers from DSAT. We really thought about using different representations to help understand the structure of the maths we were doing. We used cubes to represent unit and non unit fractions.
Well done to all the children in Year 4 for their excellent behaviour. The visitors were really impressed by your positive attitude to maths and your confident use of mathematical language.
Well done. Remember – We are all Mathematicians!
