Sponsored Walk 2016
A Walk Through The Decades Today was the day of our Annual Mary Rose Academy Sponsored Walk! This year we decided on the theme of A Walk Through the Decades with each area of the school dressing up in the theme of a different decade. EYFS and Key Stage 1 dressed up as the 1980’s, Key Stage 2 as the 1990’s, Key Stage 3 as the 1970’s, Key Stage 4 as the 1960’s and 6th Form as the 00’s.
Introducing your new SHOUT for 2016
SHOUT is the Mary Rose Academy student voice council. It’s role is to discuss whole school pupil issues and plan for projects and exciting events. We will meet once a month for an executive style working lunch where we can share our ideas.
Grandparents Day Assembly Sept 2016
Today in Assembly we celebrated National Grandparents Day. We were very pleased to be joined by nearly 50 Grandparents and Great Grandparents, the hall was packed. During the week pupils have been thinking about how Grandparents help us and wanted to say thank you. Our thank you was to sing lots of our favourite songs to the visiting Grandparents and to give each of them a personalised thank you card.
Welcome Back!
I hope that you all had a good summer break, enjoyed the good weather and had some quality time with your children. I’d like to extend a special welcome to all new pupils, parents and staff. This year Mary Rose is celebrating its 10th anniversary. We’ve started to plan a range of exciting birthday themed events for everyone to enjoy throughout the year.
Ghana Visit July 2016
On 16th July two members of staff from the Mary Rose Academy left the UK for an exciting visit to our partner school in Ghana. The School, New Horizon Special School, is very similar to Mary Rose in terms of the pupils it caters for. Both Jess and Caroline found that it became more than just a school over the two weeks they were there.
Leavers & Achievers 2016
At the end of the year we celebrated the achievements of our primary pupils and also said goodbye and good luck to our primary leavers in our ‘Leavers and Achievers’ presentation. This year our primary leavers were Kwan, Joel and Gavin. We wish them the best of luck for their big move to our secondary department and hope that they continue to enjoy their learning up at the other end of the school.
