• Sports Day

  Fri 30 Jun 2017 Mrs Roberts

  We have had such a super afternoon. The sun was shining during our Sports Day and all the children were AMAZING! Of course it goes without saying at Aston Rowant as our Sports Day is always superb but I think this year was the best. It was lovely to see the Year 6 children's leadership skills come out as they organised their mixed age teams. Every year I am so proud of the encouragement they show each other. I particularly enjoyed watching the water tunnel activity this year which was a new addition. Everybody had a wonderful time and took part in all of our activities. For those children who enjoy that competitive side to sports day we included the running raining races again and my goodness, the children ran fast. It was lovely to see so many of our new early years children take part in the races too.

   

  Special thanks must go to Mrs Turton for organising our sports day again this year. Also big thanks go to Mr Midwinter, Mr Messenger and Mr Kibble, our PE teachers, for giving their time to help organise the children and activities.

   

  We had a delicious BBQ again this year which was organised by our wonderful PTA. Our PTA work tirelessly to organise the refreshments at our sports day. This year we also had a second hand uniform sale; again organised by the PTA. 

   

  We are so lucky to have such support which in turn makes our Sports Day so lovely for the children. Thank you to all our volunteers and everyone involved.

  These writers are an inspiration. Such amazing story writing, developing character and plot. I especially enjoyed  'The woman who grew a beard'. Very cleverly written by a 9 year old. An inspirational writer. Please read the other stories at BBC radio 2 Story Writer 500 words competition.

• Our new early years children!

  Sun 18 Jun 2017 Mrs Roberts
  Our new early years children came to play this week. They had a super time exploring our fab school grounds, checking out the classrooms and making friends. Our early years cohort will be full again this year which is great news for us as a small rural school. We are looking forward to watching the children grow and develop in our wonderful school.

• Flippy the Goldfish

  Our year 6 children spent the morning at Lord Williams's secondary school this week to have a taste of life in Year 7. They completed the annual Flippy the Goldfish forensic science activities and came back to school full of smiles and excitement.

• Partnership Sports

  Well Done to all of our pupils who took part in our partnership sports event this week. The children all demonstrated superb team spirit and enjoyed cheering each other on. Thank you to Mrs Turton who accompanied the children. The sun shone and everyone had a lovely time.

• Curriculum

  Fri 16 Jun 2017 Mrs Roberts
  ' Schools must plan curriculum and be able to show inspectors the design' say ofsted @harfordsean. Yep... and according to Ofsted ours is 'exceptional'. Look at Sean Harfords blog about new Ofsted curriculum requirements. We are so ahead of the game...
