Thank you to everyone who joined us for our annual coffee morning, in aid of Macmillan, earlier today. Together we raised £167 to donate to the charity. We couldn’t have done it without your support and your delicious donations of cakes and biscuits.
There’s a University for Children. Who knew..?
Well there is and this week we’re talking with the Children’s University about Ramshaw becoming a Learning Destination. The University operates a passport scheme, which helps parents and children access Learning Destinations throughout the region, building up learning hours and working towards their final graduation at Teesside University..!

It was lovely to see everyone at the Read & Relax session on Monday 19th September. The children hugely enjoyed it and they loved being able to show off their reading and being read to. Thank you so much for making it such a special event for the children.
Our next Read & Relax session will be on 15th October at 2:30 and it would be great to see you there. 🙂
Ian Tippey from the National Space Academy (www.nationalspaceacademy.org) worked with Class 3 this morning to carry out an experiment to explain why space rockets are white.
They found that white reflects the temperature which prevents the fuel from catching fire and exploding. Painting a rocket black would mean that heat would be absorbed which could cause an explosion.
The children used special paint, hair dryers and heat lamps to help them with their experiment.
To finish off the morning Ian showed a ‘whoosh bottle’, which is a small scale simulation of how rockets are launched into space.
A fantastic morning was had by all!

Ramshaw Primary School World Cup Project
KS2 Children, who had not attended the Lockerbie Manor residential visit, took part in a 3 day project that centred around the World Cup.
They researched the four countries that the England team had played (Tunisia, Belgium, Columbia and Panama) looking at various aspects of the football team and the country.
A new home and away kit was designed for each team.
The children worked in groups, using their maths skills, to solve The Mystery of the Missing Football Cup.
An afternoon of football skills games and drills were enjoyed by the children, all of them becoming excellent at controlling the ball with their feet.
Following their research, they presented their information using a powerpoint presentation, to the rest of the class.
Foods, that they had discovered were eaten or from the country they researched, were tried in a food tasting session. These included tropical kebabs, koftas and cous cous, Belgian chocolate and waffles as well as coconut biscuits.
Finally, as one of the teams was from South America, the children were introduced to salsa dancing and spent some time learning the steps and dancing to Latin American music.
Take a look at some of the pictures from the project:
