Miss Shotton & the E-Cadets performed a fabulous play for the whole school today to get us all thinking about E-Safety. The E-Cadets wrote and performed several scenarios and the children had to respond to each one – if they thought it was good practice or not. Thanks very much indeed to everyone involved for such a thoughtful assembly.
Fabulous work from Henry, Lily, Riley and Jessica in planting some new hawthorn hedges around our school field. Liz Garrett, one of our brilliant Governors and supermum Coleen showed us exactly what we needed to do. It’s going to be very exciting watching them grow in Spring.
High excitement in Ramshaw today!
Ethan, Lente, Liam, Emily, Grace and Rhiannon have already written to the Prime Minister to question whether or not the Government’s 25 year plan is rather taking its time in making real changes.
No response as yet, but our resource pack from Plastic Free Schools has arrived today and it’s very useful.
We’ve already signed a petition to introduce a Deposit Return System on plastic bottles and other single use drinks containers. The Group is now ready to start their work on reducing single use plastics in our school.
As you can see; they’re serious about it….
All of the staff, children and governors here at Ramshaw Primary School, would like to wish our families and friends a happy and joyful Christmas.
Thank you so much for everything you do for us.
Look forward to seeing everyone back at school on the 8th January.
Happy Christmas!
On Wednesday we were joined by Stephen from ‘Creative Builders’, who put out architectural skills to the test by asking us to build a city made of Lego bricks. We then had to construct circuits to light our city up. The children had a great day and really showed off their creative talents as we’re sure you’ll see from the pictures.
Today we all wore our best festive knitwear in aid of Save the Children’s ‘Christmas Jumper Day 2017’. We made the world better with a sweater and raised £65 to send to the charity. A huge thank you for all of your donations, I’m sure you would agree that we all looked fabulous…

On Wednesday Class 3 visited ‘The Work Place’ in Newton Aycliffe to take part in this year’s ‘Safety Carousel’. They had the opportunity to take part in 6 different workshops with the Police, Fire Brigade, NHS, Northern Power Grid, Coast Guards and Road Safety Officers. We all had a fantastic day learning about how to keep safe and we even managed to win the quiz. HOORAY!
On Friday KS2 took part in the St John Ambulance’s ‘Big First Aid Lesson’. Themed around the familiar scenario of attending a Fireworks Night event, with a ‘Vlog’ presentation style, students observed real-life first aid situations as well as demonstrations of relevant first aid techniques, including important bonfire night safety tips. Pupils covered a whole host of topics including who, what and how to call in an emergency, and dealing with choking and burns.

As you know, we use Gooseberry Planet to teach our children about how to stay safe online.
As a new feature, Gooseberry Parent now allows parents to see how their child is reacting within the game. The resource area is full of tips and advice for the carer to learn and to be a part of their child’s learning journey. It also gives hints and tips about different aspects of internet safety.
You can download the app here.
Thank you to all of the children who came to school wearing denim today, with your help we raised £59 for the charity ‘Jeans for Genes’!
