  Thu 12 Sep 2024 Mrs Carter and Mrs Dowse

  We are super excited to share that we are a RSC Associate School!

  The programme is a long-term partnership between the RSC and schools and regional theatres across England. We will be working closely with The Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall. 

  As members of this community, pupils and school staff will work in partnership with TRCH and the RSC to access performances, training opportunities, and theatre tours. They will also have the chance to engage in the RSC’s Shakespeare Ambassadors programme, training pupils to be Leaders in Shakespeare, as well as the RSC’s Next Generation talent development programme and annual Playmaking Festival. Year 5 will have the opportunity to perform in a Shakespeare play on the Theatre Royal stage in summer term of 2025, as well as multiple opportunities to enjoy live and exclusive Shakespeare performances.

  A recent study found that schools who engaged in RSC teaching approaches enjoyed positive impacts on the confidence, literacy skills and problem-solving ability of the young people who participated.

  We are thrilled to be part of this RSC programme and will keep you updated with all the exciting things we do!

  On Monday 9th and Tuesday 10th September, a group of Y5 children went on a Music Camp into the Derbyshire countryside where they met with children from other schools to form a bigger band with many different types of instruments. The Southgladers were part of the brass band with trumpets and trombones being their instruments.

  Miss Parr reported that the children were fantastically well behaved and all had a great time.

  They will now be taking part in Area Band at Robin Hood School on a Tuesday.

  Well done to everyone and a massive thank-you to Miss Parr for giving up some of her own time to support the children on their musical adventures.

  On Friday 6th September, Year 6 went on their first trip of the year to help them understand the impact that WW2 had on children across the continent of Europe. This trip helped them to understand how Jewish children were harmed by the actions of the Nazis in Germany and in occupied Europe. They followed the story of a boy called Leo Stein who was persecuted simply because of his religion. They used empathy to put themselves in the shoes of others.

  Their teachers reported that they were really engaged for the whole day.
