Phonics and Spelling Open Morning Posted on: 20/05/2016

Phonics and Spelling Open Morning

Today our children and teachers welcomed parents into school to join us for a phonics session in their childrens classrooms. These sessions enabled parents to see first hand the high quality teaching and learning at Rockliffe Manor as well as giving them ideas to help support their children at home. We would like to share with you some of the feedback we recieved: "The children were awsome and very attentive, the teacher took time to ask the children questions. My son is learning fast - the school is the best." "I found the phonics and spelling session very interesting. The children were so good in answering every question that was put to them. The teachers were amazing and very friendly. I hope there will be more of these."
Y6 Bikeability Workshop Posted on: 20/05/2016

Y6 Bikeability Workshop

This week the children in Year 6 have been on a Bikeability course.   "We are learning how to cycle safely on the road. If we are going to make a turn, first you have to look behind you. Then, if you are turning left, put your left arm out for at least 3 seconds. Make sure you look behind you again to ensure it is safe before you make your turn." - Kubra.   "Before you cycle I have learnt to do the 'A,B,C,D' check: A = Air - squeeze your tyres to make sure they are as solid as an apple. B = Brakes - check your front and rear brakes work. C = Chain - make sure it isn't rusty and it can do a full turn before you cycle. D = Direction - stand in front of the bike, front tyre between your legs, making sure the handlebars don't move. Also, make sure the seat is up to your hip before you ride. That is the right height for you." - Anais.   "We have learnt how to use our brakes and gears. Use gear 1 to go uphill and gear 6 to go downhill." - Megan.
