Year 6 World War Two

For almost six years, from 1939-1945 Britain fought the toughest war it had ever experienced. During World War Two every person, business and every service was involved.

Year Six are learning about the cause and outcome of World War Two.

They will also learn about 'The Blackout', 'The Blitz', 'Evacuation', 'Rationing' and many other wartime events.

Welcome back!

We hope you had a fantastic holiday and you are looking forward to the new school year.

School starts at 8.55am tomorrow, so don't forget to set the alarm!

Old Dagenham Park

Year 5 went to Old Dagenham Park this week where they had a great time, with the assistance of the park rangers, hunting for 'mini beasts' trying some activities such as orienteering and generally enjoying the 'great outdoors'! The park has a wide range of activities for the children to enjoy. It has tennis courts, football pitches, a BMX track and a children's playground. Well worth a visit!

New Arrivals in RJB

RJB have been welcoming some new arrivals into their classroom this week. They have seen some chicks hatch and it has been very exciting for them! Pop in and see Mr Bowen and I'm sure he will let you see them, they're so cute!

June 2010

The rose is the flower for the month of June.






According to the Georgian calendar, which is used over most of the world today, June is the sixth month. On the Roman calendar, it was considered the fourth month and had only 29 days. Julius Ceasar gave the month 30 days in 46 B.C., when he reformed the Roman calendar.

Spring ends and summer begins around June 20, 21, or 22 in the Northern Hemisphere. It's the time that the flowers are beautiful. It is especially the month for roses. In the Southern hemisphere, winter begins during June, and it brings cold, rainy weather to this part of the world.


A June quotation.

Then let us, one and all, be contented with our lot;
The June is here this morning, and the sun is shining hot;
Oh! let us fill our hearts up with the glory of the day,
And banish ev'ry doubt and care and sorrow far away.

Thought for the day!

A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present "Seven Wonders of the World". Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes:

1.Egypt's Great Pyramids.
2.Taj Mahal.
3.Grand Canyon.
4.Panama Canal.
5.Empire State Building.
6.St Peter's Basilica.
7.China's Great Wall.

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one of the students had not finished her paper yet.So she asked the little girl if she was having trouble with her list.
The girl replied, " Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there are so many".

The teacher said, " Well, tell us what you have and maybe we can help".
The girl hesitated, then read, " I think that the 'Seven Wonders of the World' are,

1. To See.
2. To Hear.
3. To Touch.
4. To Taste.
5. To Feel.
6. To laugh.
7. To Love.


The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
This is because, the things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly wondrous! A gentle reminder- that the most precious of things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.
