Spring 2024

Robots and Coding sessions were so much fun! Parents worked together for the first part of the session learning all about coding and how to move their characters, even building lego models and programming them to move in different directions. Children were able to join their parents for the second part of the session. We couldn’t let the parents have all the fun.

During our recent Children’s mental health week, we held a yoga/relaxation session for parents and children. It was very relaxing and we enjoyed spending some quiet time together.

Autumn 2023

We started off the year with our Macmillan coffee morning. Your generosity again was outstanding! Donations of cakes and raffle prizes was overwhelming. We managed to raise £411.69 for a very worthwhile charity. Our community spirit is amazing!

Our parent craft hour was very popular. Both children and parents had lots of fun creating and designing together. The sessions were so popular that we have put two more craft sessions on March 11th and March 18th. Please email your interest to admin@risepark.nottingham.sch.uk

What a busy first term we have had. Lots of exciting fun things to get involved with in school.

We started the year of with our Macmillan coffee morning! Your generosity continues to be overwhelming and I am delighted that we raised so much money for this wonderful cause.

Our Feel Good Families sessions were enjoyed by parents. Especially the session where they received hand massages and enjoyed mixing aromatherapy fragrances to help relaxation!

We had lots of positive feedback from parents. Here are some of the things they had to say!

‘Made me feel like I could be myself and be a better parent’

‘I have met new people, learned new things and gained confidence’

‘The course has enabled me to talk and communicate to likeminded parents, to share ideas and learn valuable strategies to incorporate into family life.

Our monthly cafe is beginning to take off with lots more parents attending. You can enjoy a free hot and cold breakfast, have a chat with your friends or just come and enjoy 5 minutes to yourself! We hold our cafe on the last Thursday of every month.

There are lots of free activities available in the city throughout the year. Keep checking our website for further information. Currently, you have the opportunity to enjoy a free film and refreshments with your family. Just follow the link to book your place.

During the summer term, the weather was kind to us and we were able to enjoy a wonderful Father’s Day event on the school field. Everyone enjoyed the craft activity and the hot dogs went down a treat!!

Spring 2022

During the spring term we started our family cooking sessions where we cooked a meal each week for the family to enjoy at home. This was very popular and we look forward to offering this again in the new academic year.

Our Mother’s Day Tea was extremely popular and lots of female role models joined the children and enjoyed a lovely craft activity and tea!

Autumn 2021

We started off the year with our Macmillan Coffee Morning and raised an amazing amount of money for a great cause. The donations that we received from parents was phenomenal.

Our family box fit sessions were well attended. Family fun was had by all and the children even received their own boxing gloves to take home.

Also during the Autumn term we sold our candy cane messages and brightened up the day of many children and adults and we held two parent courses-managing anxiety and cyber heroes.
