Outdoor

We promote using the outdoor environment at every opportunity. During the wetter months, please ensure your child has the appropriate clothing for outdoor activities e.g. wellington boots and a waterproof coat.

During the warmer months, please ensure that your child has a sunhat and that suncream has been applied before school. If children are scheduled to undertake outdoor learning you will be notified via a text message.

Home Learning

Your child will receive a home learning book which will be updated and sent out weekly. The book will contain details of the activity.

Home learning is sent home on Friday and will need to be returned by Wednesday to allow us time to mark and update the books with new challenges. Any home learning submitted after a Wednesday may not be successfully updated in time. The Rose team would like to thank you in advance for your support.

Please also encourage your child to bring a named water bottle to school every day so they can have access to water readily.

Curriculum

As part of the new curriculum for Wales we have designed and developed our own bespoke curriculum. Our curriculum has taken into consideration the following four core purposes:

Ambitious, capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives.
Enterprising, creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work.
Ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world.
Healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society.

Learning will take place inside and outside the classroom with pupil voice at the centre of learning.
