Year 6 Sports Day

7/6/2021

On Wednesday 26th May, The rosary celebrated its first Sports Day event.

Year 6 had great fun at their sports afternoon. It was wonderful to be able to celebrate our children's sporting prowess again after the cancellation of sporting events last summer. The children enjoyed a variety of sporting activities led by our Year 6 staff and our school's Sports Impact coach.

Each year group will be celebrating their own sports event throughout the summer term although unfortunately we will be unable to welcome parents this year. A letter will be sent to each year group for your information. Look out for pictures capturing events.

Fundraise with The Rosary

17/5/2021

The Rosary will be supporting SocialBite - one of the leading homelessness charities in the Uk - in their Break the Cycle Event. The goal behind this campaign is to build two new villages for homeless people, with the target cities being Glasgow and London, alongside their existing flagship village in Edinburgh. This brand new campaign will be hosted by Sir Chris Hoy.
Olympian Sir Chris Hoy has teamed up with Social Bite to launch a 1 million fundraising campaign which aims to replicate the charity's Granton village for homeless people in Glasgow and London. The six-time gold medal cyclist will take part in the Break the Cycle campaign, which is a LIVE 60-mile charity bike ride from Glasgow to Edinburgh.
On Sunday 5th September 2021, everyone can join Sir Chris Hoy and Social Bite in his live 60-mile cycling challenge.

In support of this national event, The Rosary will be taking part in a 5 Day Fitness Challenge during Sports week - June 21st - Friday 25th.
Please join us in support to raise money for this tremendous cause by visiting our fundraising page and sponsoring our children.

Gold Award Again!

19/4/2021

We are delighted to announce that we, the Rosary Catholic Primary School, have achieved the School Games Gold Mark Award for the 2019/20 academic year for the FORTH time in a row!

The School Games Mark is a Government led award scheme launched in
2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.

We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport especially in light of such unprecedented times that have been full of changes never experienced or practiced before.

As part of our application, we were asked to fulfill criteria in the areas of
participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that
the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.

Well done, lets see if we can make it five years!!

National Daily Mile event!

19/4/2021

The Rosary continues to embrace physical activity both in school, within the borough and nationally.
Therefore we will be taking part in a national event in April with ...

England Does The Daily Mile
Place2Be, a charity dedicated to improving children's mental health, want as many primary schools around England to get moving on the same day, to celebrate the positive benefits that daily activity can have on our mental health.

In light of the events in the past year, children’s mental health, and its relation to physical activity, is more important than ever.

We will be taking part in the Daily Mile event on Friday 30th April 2021, along with the rest of the nation!

Knowledge of the benefits of exercise on physical and mental health will be shared with your children. After exercising, children will be quizzed about how exercise has affected their mood, levels of stress and general wellbeing.

Look out for photos of our event.

Back to School!

5/3/2021

As our children finally return to their familiar surroundings, Physical Education has never appeared so vital and high profiled as it is now.
It is crucial in terms of fitness, wellbeing: mental health, self-esteem, emotive well-being, spirituality and future expectations and social behaviours.
With this in mind, our PE lessons will seek to reintegrate children into physical activity in a way that suits our children in our community. This will put them in better stead for their summer curriculum.

Although children will be in school, there still remains a number of ways in which they can remain active at home especially as their stamina for physical activity and motivation is nurtured and encouraged.

Youth Sport Trust continues to update their Personal Best Challenges which children can do at home. This is part of the School Games' mission is to help more young people with the opportunity to compete and achieve their Personal Best, with a focus on including competition against oneself and others to improve personal performances. A process rather than the outcome.

Well Schools Promise
We are incredibly proud of you
This last year has been exceptionally difficult. You have shown incredible resilience and adaptability. You have been selfless and put the needs of others before your own. You have made so many sacrifices and yet faced the challenges with strength and determination. There is much you’ve been told you’ve lost, including many weeks of your education, but there is much you have gained. You will emerge from this stronger.
An important and powerful sentiment for all

We look towards a brighter future and the reinstatement of PE at the forefront of the emotional and social well being of our children,
