Year 6 Residential to Portland
Eight of our Year 6 children, Mrs Hunter and Mrs Turner have returned from a wonderful five day residential at Portland Outdoor Centre. The children have been amazing and demonstrated our school values of togetherness, resilience and respect over and over during the trip. They faced many challenges, walked miles, learned so much about Portland and themselves, but most of all had so much fun!

Mrs Hunter and Mrs Turner said the children represented Rushall School beautifully. For some of them, this was their first time away from home for this length of time, so this was a challenge itself. We are very proud of them all.

Dauntsey's School Art session

Rosen Class enjoyed a wonderful, hands-on Art session led by Dauntsey's School. The children combined creativity with science by tracing their favourite animals and exposing them using a process called cyanotype - a traditional method of printing using natural sunlight. The children's completed sun-kissed animal print designs are absolutely fabulous! They had a brilliant time experimenting with this unique medium.

Three Churches Walk
The whole school took part in our 'Three Churches Walk'. We began by walking from school to Rushall Church, where we had our Welcome service for those children who are new to Rushall School. Bloom class then walked back to school and Rossetti, Rosen and Blake class walked on to Upavon church. We had a moment of reflection, led by Mr Marsh (school Governor) and a look around the church before heading back to school for a quick break. We then walked to the church at Charlton St Peter. Mr Marsh led another short moment of reflection to finish off before we headed back to school. We are very impressed with the children's positive attitude and engagement with the walk and time spent in each church.

Festival of Friends

Four of our service children attended The Festival of Friends event on Friday at the Tidworth Garrison Theatre. The Festival of Friends is an innovative, year-long project aimed at strengthening provision for Service Children across Wiltshire’s schools.

They visited five stations throughout the morning:

• Exhibition stands

• Kings Royal Hussairs

• Military stands / vehicles

• Seekers Create workshop

• Juggling workshop

They then took their seats in the auditorium for the official ceremony, where they listened to some inspirational guest speakers who talked about Military life and the key role military families play in the Armed Forces. The children were then called up to the stage to receive a certificate before ending the day with a wonderful juggling performance from the marvellous Tommy J.

Rainbow Run

Our children took part in their sponsored Rainbow Run to raise money for Marie Curie, our chosen charity for this year. The children showed fantastic enthusiasm and determination as they completed laps of the running track, tackling a range of fun obstacles along the way. It was wonderful to see everyone giving their best effort while supporting such an important cause.

Salisbury Leavers' Service

Our Year 6 children enjoyed a very special milestone as they attended the Leavers' Service at Salisbury Cathedral. They had a wonderful time taking part in the banner procession, listening to the inspiring story about light and joining together to sing hymns in the stunning surroundings of the cathedral. It was a lovely opportunity to reflect, celebrate and look ahead to the exciting journey that awaits them as they prepare for the next chapter. A memorable day for our Year 6s in a truly beautiful setting!
