A great time was had by all. We were all very excited and had looked forward to it all week, it didn't disappoint. The laughter could be heard down the corridors and many people felt the need to drop by - just to take a look! So with a little bit of madness and a whole lot of fun Year One leave for their holidays and get ready for their time in Year 2. Thank you for an amazing year, you have been superb in all you have accomplished. Good luck for Year 2, I know Miss Allen will love you as much as I have. Mrs Inkster xx More pictures in the gallery.

We are pleased to announce that we have raised £276 for Omar, a 9 year old boy who lives in Senegal. With the help of Action Aid, we are now his proud sponsors and await our opportunity to write to him and send him small gifts. Many, many thanks on his behalf. We are sure he will appreciate it, more than we will ever know.

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!]]> http://www.romanroadprimary.org/2010/06/we_will_we_will_rock_you.html http://www.romanroadprimary.org/2010/06/we_will_we_will_rock_you.html Artsmark Classes Curriculum Events Fundraising Global Dimension Home School Links Sat, 05 Jun 2010 16:58:33 +0000 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. ]]> http://www.romanroadprimary.org/2010/06/african_showcase_outstanding_a.html http://www.romanroadprimary.org/2010/06/african_showcase_outstanding_a.html Artsmark Classes Creative Curriculum Curriculum Events Fundraising Global Dimension Home School Links News Sat, 05 Jun 2010 16:48:12 +0000 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!

We all came dressed to school in one bright colour. We looked so bright and cheerful. 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!!!]]> http://www.romanroadprimary.org/2010/06/colour_carnival_day.html http://www.romanroadprimary.org/2010/06/colour_carnival_day.html Artsmark Classes Creative Curriculum Events Fundraising Global Dimension PSHE Sat, 05 Jun 2010 15:54:59 +0000 Lawrence brought a really unusual instrument to Roman Road during our Africa project. It is called the Tube Fido and is a string instrument. We were taught how to reassemble the Tube Fido and had a go at playing a tune. Lawrence made it look very easy, as it was really difficult. We also sang a Ugandan song with Lawrence, the words were very tricky, so we hummed along instead.]]> http://www.romanroadprimary.org/2010/06/tube_fido.html http://www.romanroadprimary.org/2010/06/tube_fido.html Artsmark Events Global Dimension Music Year 1 Sat, 05 Jun 2010 15:47:06 +0000 Year One have made some fabulous clay pots made in the traditional Ghana way. In Ghana the women and girls make clay pots for cooking and cleaning. They make the pot with clay and start with the top, then adding the bottom once it has dried slightly in the sun.
