The 13th November to 17th November 2023 is Anti-Bullying Week. The theme from the Anti-Bullying Alliance this year is Make a Noise About Bullying, which encourages children to speak up if they are being bullied or see bullying happening around them.

At Roding Primary School, we have an EYFS/KS1 friendly version of our anti-bullying policy, as well as a KS2 friendly version of our anti-bullying policy. These policies clearly explain what bullying is, the different forms of bullying which can take place as well as what our children should do if they see bullying happening in or outside of school.

These policies can be found in the school policies section of our website: https://www.rodingprimaryschool.co.uk/school-policies/

As well as informing our children about anti-bullying, we also showed our support by taking part in odd-socks day on Monday 13th November 2023. We hope you enjoy the photos and would like to thank all of our parents and carers for supporting this – we hope you mange to match the correct socks up!

On Friday 20^th October 2023, Roding Primary School celebrated Show Racism the Red Card Day which is a nationwide initiative by theredcard.org to promote and raise awareness of anti-racism.  This year, we raised £205.91 which has been donated to theredcard.org.

We would like to thank all pupils and staff members for showing their support and making donations.

Year 4 children had a wonderful time visiting the mandir in East Ham.  This trip helped the children to consolidate their learning that they had been doing based on the topic of worship within the Hindu religion.

Children in year 3 had lots of fun as part of our Stone Age immersion day.  The day was a chance for children to look back on all what they have learned whilst carrying out some creative activities linked to prehistory. We would like to thank the parents and guardians who helped their children get the most out of the day by getting some wonderful prehistory costumes.
