To raise money to pay for a 'new brain' that would help us continue our good work on Radiowaves (our school networking site), Year 6 had a grand car wash event!

During one school afternoon, Year 6 had a totally great time getting rather damp, whilst cleaning cars in the staff car park at school. They cleaned and cleaned (I heard tell that Davids car was the dirtiest, and all the kids reckoned he should pay double!).

Well done for everyone for taking part, and thank you to the staff who trusted us to wash your cars!

Everyone who took part, would love to hear from you all about what it was like for you! And which was the dirtiest car that YOU cleaned???

Year 4 visit to the Wetland Centre

As you might know, several of the staff at Riversdale enjoy football. Here is a sneak preview of a few of them practising their skills!

Year 3 paid a very interesting visit to The British Museum to learn all about The Romans and The Aztecs. They travelled by underground from Southfields to Russell Square and then walked to the museum. When they arrived at the museum they put their lunch boxes in a large cupboard and then wfound their way through the museum and upstairs to where the Roman artefacts were on show. They made sketches of some of the things in the glass cabinets including glass bowls, jewellery, statues and coins - there were some really beautiful interesting things....

The room with The Aztec artefacts in was downstairs so they walked through the museum again to find them. The room was quite dark so sketching was a bit tricky, but everyone mangaged!

Before leaving the museum there was time to go into the shop. Some bought replica Roman soldiers, others bought pens and pencils. After collecting their lunches it was time to leave the museum and go into the lovely park to eat their yummy lunches, then it was back to the station to return to school......
