3R's Creative Day

On our second Creative Day, 3R made gingerbread biscuits and gingerbread garlands to get us in the Christmas spirit!

Year 3 have been busy creating their Family Learning Projects.  The first one was about the Ancient Egyptians.  All of the teachers and children at school have been very impressed by the quality of the projects-they look fantastic and are packed with information about this fascinating time in world history.  Have a look at some of the projects created by 3R.

Rush Green at the Olympics and Paralympics

We were lucky enough to be given tickets to the Women's Basketball, Women's Football and Paralympic Athletics.  All the children and staff that went had an amazing time at the Olympic Park. Thank you Miss Carman for organising it all.

At the Paralympics we saw javelin, running and long jump.  My favourite part of it was the javelin. When we got on the train we were the only ones talking.  The Paralympics were amazing.  I wish the Paralympics and Olympics could happen every year.

On Friday we went to watch the Paralympic Athletics.  We saw so many exciting events including, long-jump, javelin, discus, 100m, 200m and 400m.  It was amazing how talented all the athletes were.  I really enjoyed watching the long jump as the athletes were blind and had to be told when to jump by their guide (who clapped to tell the athlete how close she was to the sandpit).  Rachel, Alicia, Claudia and Phoebe were very enthusiastic when cheering for the athletes and represented the school extremely well.

We had a fantastic time on Friday at the Olympic Stadium.  The atmosphere in the stadium was amazing and our seats were so close to the Olympic flame we could feel the heat from it.  The best part was seeing Team GB win gold in the women’s discus.  This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I will never forget it.

Dinosaur Teeth

3R made dinosaur teeth in our IPC lessons.  We used newspaper to create the correct shape and then covered the newspaper in mod rock.  Once they dried and went hard, we stained them to make them look millions of years old!

Choir at Easter

We performed as part of the Friends Association's EASTER EGGTRAVAGANZA.  Don't we look professional in our Choir T-shirts!

Choir's Performance at the 02: March 2012

We performed at the 02 again in March as part of the Young Voices Concert.  The choir worked really hard to learn all the songs-we're not allowed to use any words on the night!  It will be happening all over again in January 2013.

3R's Jinx Frames

On our Creative Day in May, we made Jinx Frames.  We had to measure and cut the wood carefully, to make sure that our frame stuck together correctly.  We filled the frame with our own version of Van Gogh's 'Starry Night'.

X Factor Final

Congratulations to 5U and 6R, who were joint winners of the Rush Green Junior School X Factor Competition 2012.  You sounded great and it was lovely to see you all having so much fun.
