Money Wise Challenge
A small group of children from years 5 and 6 were invited to take part in the Money Wise challenge at ExCel London. They got to take part in a digital game with 700 other children, putting their knowledge of maths to the test and making important decisions about spending and saving money.
Art Exhibition
We had our wonderful art exhibition based on the theme ‘Exploring our emotions and feelings’! It was a huge success! The children created a range of stunning artwork where they were inspired by a range of fabulous books based around the theme and produced by a diverse range of authors and illustrators.
Rokesly Display
Our school is a place where unlocking a world of knowledge is at the forefront of everything we do. From the moment you step through our doors, you are greeted with an inspiring display of diverse subjects, igniting curiosity and fostering a love for learning. Our curriculum is designed to challenge and engage children, allowing them to explore new topics and ideas, and to develop critical thinking skills that will serve them well in all aspects of their lives.
World Book Day
What an incredible World Book Day it turned out to be! The entire school came together for a delightful catwalk assembly, filled with laughter and joy. The judges faced a tough decision, as every participant showcased exceptional creativity and talent. Congratulations to the deserving winners and runners-up from each year group, who wowed us with their imaginative role-play!
Let’s not overlook the dedication of our teachers, who fully embraced the spirit of the day with their fantastic costumes and creativity and fully embodying their characters!
Year 5 Level 2 Bikeability – Pedaling Confidence, Inspiring Adventures!
Our year 5 children participated in Level 2 Bikeability at school, focusing on preparing them for short journeys such as cycling to school. The training, conducted in small groups on quiet, local streets, provided a real cycling experience. Beyond the basic skills acquired, Bikeability serves as a gateway to various exciting cycling adventures. If your child is keen on exploring more, they may consider joining a local cycling club for activities like BMXing, mountain biking, or racing, and the Bikeability instructor can offer guidance on suitable groups for junior members and beginners. To reinforce the training, consider practicing as a family or allowing your child to cycle independently to school or local shops, further enhancing their cycling proficiency. Family training sessions are also available through Cycle Confident.
Rokesly’s got talent
Rokesly’s got talent was a memorable throwback! It proved to be the most challenging year to select the winners due to the incredible performances. The participants showcased an abundance of talent, skill, variety, and laughter, making it a fantastic way to conclude the term. Not to be outdone, the teachers also delivered an impressive show.
Pendarren

Well done to our fabulous Rokesly winner!
Year 5 Fire Safety Workshop
Each year 5 class really enjoyed their Fire Safety Workshop with Officer Joynul Ahmed from the London Fire Brigade! The workshops were engaging and fun. We learned a lot about what we can do to stay safe in our homes and prevent fires from happening. We also learned how to safely react in the event of a fire. With their recent water safety training, year 5 are really equipping themselves with the skills to protect both themselves and others!

Haringey Music Festival at the Royal Albert Hall
Rokesly Junior’s choir had an amazing night performing at the Royal Albert Hall in the Haringey Music Festival. A spectacular night the Junior choir will never forget. After months of rehearsals, they sang so beautifully we couldn’t be more proud! We also had some of our students performing with the Haringey Music Service as well. They too were hard at work practicing leading up to this spectacular show and did absolutely amazing!
Easter Egg Competition
The Rokesly Easter Egg Competition entries this year have exceeded all expectations. The level of creativity and skill was exceptionally high, making it a challenging task for the judges to select only four winners and four runner-ups from the entire school. The competition showcased the remarkable creativity and imagination of our children. Thank you so much to all the children, staff, parents and carers who contributed to the success of this event.
Skills Builder Silver Award
Children who are able to master the essential skills can make the most of their time in school, and thrive in their wider lives. Working with the Skills Builder Partnership can support every child to build those skills as a core part of their learning. Last year, we worked with Skills Builder Partnership to support our children in developing essential skills to make the most of their time in education and thrive in their wider lives and employment. Each term we focused on a different skill (such as listening, staying positive and teamwork) and provided every child with opportunities to build their skills as a core part of their learning. At the end of the year, we were assessed against the framework and we are very proud to achieve the Skills Builder Silver Award.
