Olympics Here We Come!!!
Respect, excellence and friendship are the values followed by Olympic athletes. The Paralympic athletes have their own set of values which are courage, determination, inspiration and equality.
The London Olympics begin on Friday 27th July 2011.
To celebrate the coming of the most important sports event in the world, we will be doing lots of activities within the Creative Curriculum. Keep an eye on the Olympics section for details.

Families Cooking Together
During our England Extravaganza project Nick from Cooking 4 Life was inundated with over 50 requests from parents to cook with him and their child. The parents thoroughly enjoyed their experience rating it as 'Outstanding.'
Apologies for any parents who did not get the chance this time, we look forward to welcoming Nick back in the future to continue to help us to "Cook Well, Eat Well, Live Well."

The Big Sleepover
On the night of Friday 20th May 2011, 32 children and 7 adults spent the night on the floor of Key Stage One hall. We had an absolutely terrific time. All of the children threw themselves into the activities on offer and said they had had the time of their lives.
However whilst this was a fun experience for us, never far from our minds was the realisation that for homeless people this is their life - every day, all weathers.
Congratulations to the 32 children who participated. The staff and the rest of the school are immensely proud of you. You have raised a staggering £330 for The People's Kitchen in Newcastle. We are sure the homeless of Newcastle will be touched to know that children as young as 7 braved the cold and slept on a hard floor to try and make a difference to their life.
You are quite simply - AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

Homelessness
One of the most basic things we expect today is for somewhere safe and stable to live, yet homelessness continues to be one of the worst social problems in England today.
A place to live is vital to a stable life that includes education, employment and healthy relationships. Homeless families find themselves living uncertain lives. They never know when they will have to move, and basic essentials like attending school or finding a doctor become major problems.
Last year during our Africa project we raised enough money to send Omar to school for two years. During this years England Extravaganza we hope to raise money to support the homeless.
Wondering how? Watch this space and a once in a lifetime opportunity might be heading your way.

Circus skills workshop.
The theme for Book Week this year was the circus, and all of the children have been doing lots of exciting work about circuses. Miss Allen organised a circus skills workshop which started with a performance for the whole school which had the children gasping in awe,
Throughout the day each class had the opportunity to try out some of the equipment.
Mrs Pigott was very impressed with how much the Year 5 children improved their skills during the session. Every single member of the class could balance a peacock feather on their chin, and the effort and concentration the children put into learning other skills was impressive. As you can see, even Mr Craggs could not resist joining in.

Wonderful Winter - Photo Competition
We have had record breaking snow over the last few days, yet despite the difficulties it can cause, it also creates amazing photographs.
Next week, Year One will be hoping for a little bit of snow, as we use the school cameras to catch a glimpse of this incredible winter.
In the meantime, see if you can snap a stunning photograph. Print it out at home and bring it to Year One when we return to school. There will be a prize for each person who brings in their photographs. Below are a few images I took from my garden over the last couple of days, but I am sure you can do better than this. Can't wait to see what you create.

Due to the very difficult weather conditions Roman Road Primary will be closed again tomorrow and Friday. We hope that this early notice will help parents make appropriate arrangements.
Despite our best efforts to return to school today, and the efforts of the staff to clear safe routes to and from school, a large number of students and some staff have been unable to attend. Therefore the decison has been made to return to school on Monday. As always, we would like to thank everyone for their support and patience during this trying time.
Meanwhile, get ready for a new week and all of the exciting Christmas activities there will be. If you have parts to learn for a Christmas play, now would be a great time to practise! We look forward to seeing you all on Monday.

School Council
Junior Network Meeting
Did you know that it was 175 years ago when Gateshead first had an election!
Some of the children on the School Council had the opportunity to attend the Gateshead School Council Junior Network Meeting. Lots of other children from other schools were there.
Children discussed what democracy is and they worked as a team to record answers and ideas down.
Here are some of the questions the school council had to think about and discuss;
- Why did you want to be on your School Council?
- Who decided that you could be on it?
- What would your school be like if you didn't have a School Council?
- What sorts of things would not have happened?
- What does Gateshead Council do?
- Who makes decisions in the Council?
- How can you let Gateshead Council know what you like and do not like about what they do?
The children really enjoyed themselves and had lots of things to talk about.
The next meeting will be later in the year.

We will, we will rock you!
Parents, governors, carers, grannies and children had the opportunity to share the experience of Djembe drumming during our African showcase.
Visitors recognised early on that the children of Roman Road were 'naturals' as they seemed to have each rythmn perfectly sychrnoised, but with a little help from Roman Road pupils they soon got into the swing of things.
A great time was had by all!

African Showcase - Outstanding Achievement
The whole school have worked tirelessly over two weeks to provide a showcase for the parents, carers, the local community and children from other schools the opportunity to share our learning and expertise on the continent Africa.
Visitors waited patiently in the sunshine as they heard the drums begin to play in the school hall. There was a great surge of people as the doors opened and they were enthralled by the sight of ten African flags and a hall jam packed with outstanding work.
Each class had set up their own showcase area and visitors were invited to walk around and view each challenge. Each class had nominated children to be in charge of their challenge and were on hand to answer any questions or queries that may arise.
Nursery and Reception bedazzled guests with their amazing artwork inspired by Africa.
Year One had created a magnificent safari role play area that the toddlers and some parents (you know who you are!), thoroughly enjoyed playing in.
Year Two amazed everyone with their work on elephants and so much more.
Year Three made some of the most delicious treats, using original African recipes and Fair Trade ingredients. Many of the guests took home the recipes to make them for the rest of their family as they were so impressed.
Year Four produced some outstanding power point presentations which demonstrated their excellent ICTskills and research abilities. They were able to provide visitors with accurate information on Fair Trade.
Year Five had made an outstanding range of footwear, artwork and a leaflet promoting anti-racism.
And finally, guests stood in awe at Year 6's DVD regarding racism. Could it possibly have been produced by 10-11 year olds - YES!
94% of visitors rated our African showcase Outstanding
5% of visitors rated it Very Good
1% of visitors rated it as Good.
High praise for the huge effort of everyone at Roman Road Primary School.
Many thanks to the children and staff for all of their hard work and dedication to this project.

Fanuel - djembe drums
We all had a fantastic day with Fanuel and his djembe drums. Djembe drums are a very popular drum in Africa. Fanuel also brought with him a range of other instruments from a thum piano to a xylophone with dried pumpkins!
During our morning assembly Fanuel had us playing rythmns and jiving and we were all hyped, eager and ready for our own drums.
Fanuel taught us how to play the drums with "Booms" and "Cha Cha's"
No idea what we are talking about, just ask us and we will let you know. You never know we may even play a rythmn for you.
Thanks for two great days Fanuel, you were amazing.

During Colour Carnival Day we also used the opportunity to raise money for Omar, an African child from Senegal. We are hoping to sponsor Omar for at least one year.
During Colour Carnival Day we were also able to sample some African food. Mrs Slator (our school cook) researched African stews and cleverly made some for each of us to have a taste. They were delicious. Well done Mrs Slator!!!

WOW!!! INCREDIBLE!!! AMAZING!!!! OUTSTANDING!!!
Roman Road has just had the MOST amazing day today. This was a day that we will never forget and will remember even when we are old and wrinkly!
The Lions of Zululand were unbelievable.
What did you think? Please leave a comment.
Mdu and the Lions arrived early this morning and the hall quickly filled up with children eager to find out why all of the teachers had been so excited! - We were not disappointed.
We heard the singing and the a drum beat before the Lions suddenly burst up the stairs with their shields and knobsticks at the ready.
They began singing, dancing, entertaining and making us laugh for the next 45 minutes. Words and pictures cannot describe the amazing vibe in our school hall. We were left speechless and eager to work with the Lions of Zululand.
Throughout the day we all had the opportunity to learn how to sing and dance like the Zulus. Many of us also had the opportunity to learn about their culture and to draw some of their costumes, shields and spears. The teachers also got the opportunity to purchase African jewellery.
The day came to an end with the whole school showing what they had learned for the whole school. Even the staff demonstrated the dance we had all been taught. What a cheer they got.
Many, many thanks to Mdu and the Lions of Zululand you truly are AMAZING!

AFRICA COMES TO ROMAN ROAD
From Monday 17th May, our school will be focusing all of our attention to Africa, the home of 2010’s World Cup, as part of a whole school project.
Over the course of the two weeks, each class will be set a challenge to complete relating to Africa. Their task must be complete by Friday 28th May when it will go on display in KS2 Hall for our African Showcase.
Throughout the theme our children will also have the opportunity to work alongside artists, musicians, professional sports people and chefs. We are also incredibly lucky, to have made an amazing contact with the Buganda Cultural Society, based in London, who will be giving their time freely to support each class, in learning about some of the traditions, cultures and arts of Africa.
Despite how fantastic this project is going to be, it is important to remember that Africa also faces many issues. We are hoping we can help with one of these issues.
In Africa many children are unable to attend school as they simply cannot afford it or because there is a limit to education. Only four children per family can attend school. This is despite many families having six to eight children. Many children have to walk many, many miles to schools that do not always have teachers or even pencils for them to learn. Yet they value education above everything.
Roman Road would like to help one of these children. Omar is nine. He is one of six children. He lives in a mud hut and helps his father farm. With the help of Action Aid, we would like to raise enough money to sponsor Omar this year. We need to raise £180 and we know you can help make this possible.
Here’s how...
On Thursday 27th May we will be holding a Colour Carnival Day. Children can attend school dressed head to foot in one bright colour. This can include face paint. Instead of asking for an amount for this day, we would like you to offer a donation towards educating Omar. Please dig deep, we have the chance of making a difference. The more money raised – the longer we can sponsor Omar.
Also, on Friday 28th May, we would like to invite you to our African Showcase from 1.15pm in Key Stage 2 Hall. Come and share your children’s amazing work and accomplishments, whilst also having the opportunity to try out some African drumming or even taste Fair Trade food. It is an event not to be missed! Many schools, councillors and advisors from Gateshead will also be attending, to share in the talents of Roman Road’s children. This is the biggest event Roman Road have ever held and we want you to be part of it...do not miss it.
Please keep checking our school website www.romanroadprimary.org for regular updates and photographs of all the events happening in school.
Key Dates to Remember
Colour Carnival Day Thursday 27th May All Day Donation
African Showcase Friday 28th May 1.15pm Donations Welcome
We know the children of Roman Road will talk about this event for years to come. We look forward to sharing this opportunity with you and meeting you on Friday 28th May, where we know you will be astounded!!!
Many thanks for your continued support in all we do.

Your School Needs You! - Creativity Council
Have you noticed that the way you are being taught has changed in recent years?
Wondering why and want to be a part of that decision making... read on!
Education expert Sir Jim Rose conducted the most significant review of the primary school curriculum in a decade.
His task was to propose a curriculum which would inspire primary children to become life-long learners and give teachers greater flexibility as well as to develop children’s personal skills.
Sir Jim also recommended organising the primary curriculum into six new areas of learning. These would be:
•understanding English, communication and languages
•mathematical understanding
•understanding the arts
•historical, geographical and social understanding
•understanding physical development, health and wellbeing
•scientific and technological understanding
In a nutshell this means we have been given the opportunity to provide a curriculum to meet the needs of Roman Road's children.
As a staff we have been working hard to deliver lessons that are exciting, fun and challenging. We are inspired by the opportunity to meet lots of exciting visitors or visit amazing places and to create new and exciting experiences for you all.
However you are IMPORTANT! We want your views, ideas and suggestions to help make our curriculum outstanding and one that everyone can't wait to share in.
So, how can you go about this?
In the next two weeks you will be asked to choose 2 candidates in your class to become Creativity Councillors. They will meet once a term as part of the Creativity Council where they will be given the opportunity to represent what you want.
Do you think your up for the challenge? Get ready to put yourself forward to be part of Roman Road's Creativity Council.

Frogget Shop Opens for Business
Froggets are part of our FROG Factor. Frog stands for:
F = Feelings
R = Relationships
O = Ownership
G = Giving
We think about these important things every day in school.
Each day we can earn 8 Frogget points, if we work really hard. We can also get froggets for brilliant behaviour and good manners. At the end of the week we convert our points into Froggets. It's just like money! We have been saving them up over the last few weeks and now we have been able to spend what we have saved.
There was so much to choose from!!! Many of us chose bouncy balls, pencils and even cars. The more Froggets you have, the more you can buy.
Remember if we are absent from school, we lose 8 Frogget points for each day, so it's really important to have good attendance.
We are looking forward to our next visit to the Frogget Shop. What will we buy...?

Congratulations - Model School!
Last week Roman Road was awarded Model School Status for Read Write Inc. This is a tremendous achievement for our children and staff.
Roman Road has been using the Read Write Inc phonics scheme from Reception to Year 4 over the last two years. Staff have worked tirelessly to ensure every child learns to read and FAST!
The progress all children have made has been incredible and over the last two years Roman Road has been visited by over 20 different schools, to see how to implement Read Write Inc.
All of our hard work was rewarded last week when we were awarded Model School Status. This is a tremendous achievement as we are the only Model school north of Bradford.
This means that other schools can continue to come and observe our teaching and learning as well as share our expertise.
Congratulations to all of the children who work so hard during these lessons and to the teachers who deliver an exciting, fast paced reading programme.
Yee Hah!!!
