Oliver DVD!

The amazing Summer 2009 Musical is now available to buy on DVD for a bargain price of £5!! If you would like to purchase a copy, ask Mrs Redhead at Reception or Miss Allen in the Y2 classroom.

The Year 5 and 6 children put in loads of time and energy to make this a fantastic musical. Many people said it was 'better than going to the theatre'! Our children can match the talent of those on the stages of London! I can't wait for this year's musical...

Please make a comment on the website to say what you enjoyed about Oliver!

We are Writers!

At the moment, we are waiting for our own published book 'We are Writers!'. The books will be here soon so do not worry if you have ordered a copy.

Our writing at Roman Road is getting better and better! Before Easter we uploaded our best examples of work onto the Scholastic Website and our very own published book was available to order at the Book Fair in March. When the books arrive, there will be a few which can still be purchased at the cost of £5.99. They are worth every penny!!!
