Last Thursday, children and staff celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as their favourite book characters as part of our themed week based around a class book. We even had a bunch of 'Wallies' as staff dressed up as the favourite character from the picture book 'Where's Wally?' The week ended with excitement as our book fair arrived and all of the classes enjoyed time browsing through the books and creating their wish lists.

During Parents' evenings this week, the book fair has been open and we have been overwhelmed by the support from children and parents. Roebuck school has raised a whopping £1353.76 which means Scholastic will give the school £752.26 back to spend on books. Over the next few days, children and teachers will be busy writing down their wishlists and Mrs Thomas is getting very excited about spending all of the money on lots of lovely new books!

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our book fair - happy reading!

We did it! The school has raised enough money to buy a new kit for our local First Responders. Well done everyone and thank you!

Back in January, all of the children took part in a sponsored bounce to try to help a local charity buy a new First Responder First Aid pack. The target was set and with everyone's help, we have raise £1800. This is amazing! A cheque was presented to the First Responders at the end of our whole-school Code of Conduct assembly on Wednesday. They were delighteed to say the least. After the assembly, a very kind parent donated a further £200 to take our total up to £2000. We have been blown away by the effort and generosity of all the children and their families. The First Responders and all school staff can not thank you enough.
