Welcome to Room 6's Blog...

We are one of the Year 3 & 4 classes at Russley School. We aim to work together well so that we can achieve success in everything we do. To help us be successful students we use the Russley Dispositions. They help us to train our brains to think successfully when we are faced with problems where the answer is not immediately known. On our Blog you will find photos, videos, up-coming events, notices and a range of other exciting information that we would love to share with you!

School Status: Opening tomorrow, Thursday 16th June from 8:30a


This morning the school was thoroughly checked and we will be ready to open tomorrow. Our toilets are all working, although time will tell whether the sewerage system stands up to multiple flushes. We have electricity and heating and our buildings are safe and sound. Once again our staffroom will be available to parents and caregivers in the morning. Please join us for a cup of tea or coffee should you need one. This also gives you the chance to chat with other members of the community.

Water 
Please ensure your child has a supply of boiled water every day. Please name their bottle. The drinking fountains will be disconnected until the water supply has been verified as safe.

Transportation to and from school
Due to the state of the roads we ask everyone to reduce traffic where possible. If you can walk or scooter to school we ask that you do so. As it is the queues are significant and this will worsen when schools re-open. Please consider this option if you are able to do so.

Structural checks
As I stated earlier these have been completed. You may see surface cracking etc. in some areas of the school. Please do not be alarmed, these have been checked thoroughly and verified as being safe to occupy.

HELP US PLEASE
Please ring or text us if your child(ren) will not be attending school.
We are looking forward to re-connecting with you and seeing all our children again.

Mrs. Warren

Another Earthquake...

Well done to everyone in Room 27. Everyone should be really proud of the way they coped, and looked after one another. School is closed tomorrow (14th of June) as there's a lot of liquefaction and problems with the drainage.

Gazza's Poem

Alana and Sinead wrote this poem earlier in the year, you may have seen on the homework sheets, but here it is again!!


Gazza is a loveable bear,
Who always wants to help and share,
He's very smart and very cool,
He loves to be with us at school,
He loves to be with us in spare time,
That's why we wrote him this rhyme,
He's arty, farty and very shy,
And likes to look at the clouds in the sky,
That's why we like this fuzzy friend,
Because he's here until the end.
