To all Rise Parkers.
Hi, my name is Mrs Lamb and I started working at Rise Park Primary School in September 2019.
I have worked in year 5 and year 6 since starting at Rise Park as the class teaching assistant. I am also responsible for the nurture provision in school alongside Mrs Watts. This is where my true passion lies and I just love working with children across the whole of school. However, things are a little different to what we are used to at the moment but nurture is really important and we feel passionate that it must continue during these difficult times.
Mrs Watts and I will continue talking to you through our school website and we will upload lots of exciting things for you to do to keep you busy and your mind active. Keep a look out for our little chats and activities and we look forward to you joining in with them.
If you have any worries or concerns about your child’s emotional well-being, please contact us via the school office or email us at admin@risepark.nottingham.sch.uk
Look forward to seeing you join in with our fun activities! Stay safe Rise Parkers!

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well. Things are very difficult at the moment and spending all our time at home can have an impact on how we feel. I’ve felt a little fed up this week so I had a think about what would make me feel better. After watching Mr Jones’ PE sessions, I decided that some physical exercise would be needed. Physical exercise often has a positive impact on how we feel so I gave it a go and it worked! Try the activity ‘exercise your name’ and see if it makes you feel more positive too. Have fun!

Hello everyone.
I would just like to introduce myself….I am Mrs Watts, and I am the trained ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant)for Rise Park Primary school. This means that I can deliver specific interventions to support children with their wellbeing and emotional needs.
I am also trained in Mental Health First Aid and this helps me in the running of whole school nurture provision. I am kept quite busy in the classroom too as I support the current year 2s in the morning.
I believe that every child should feel happy, safe, and secure. In school children take part in various forms of support from 1-1 and group work to provide specific support for individual children.
Should you need to speak to me for support ,help or guidance I can always be found around the playground before school and at the end of the day and always at the end of the phone.
I can also be contacted on the following email admin@risepark.nottingham.sch.uk.
Hello everyone
I thought you might like to take some time and relax at home. I know some of you have done some meditation with me in school so here is a link to a great website for you to try. Why not take a brain rest with the whole family.
Hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you try it.
Take care
Mrs Watts
Good morning
I hope you are all well. I have found a lovely activity for you to do that does not need a screen to complete for a change. You can either print it off or draw your own. I have this around my house too and have loved sharing the little notes and completing some of the ideas. Just a little piece of happiness to try. I loved drawing the comic strip 🙂

Enjoy and I would love to see some photos of anything you make. 🙂

Hello everyone.
What a wonderful weekend I have had. As some of you know , I really enjoy drawing at home and this weekend I have finally picked my pencil back up and created a picture. I find drawing is a lovely way to relax. So, this got me thinking about how to draw. after some searching on the internet, I found a fantastic how to draw page. THIS IS AMAZING!! The year 2s love this too!. Why not have a go and post some of your finished picture up so I can see them. I hope you love it as much as I do 🙂
Keep drawing !

Hello everyone. I hope you are keeping well and safe.
Today I was peeling my potatoes for dinner when I had a lovely idea that you could do in your gardens or even the local outdoor space (keeping safe of course) so I thought I would share it with you all.
All you need is a Potato peeler and some sticks and a grown up for supervision. You can be as creative as you like.
I would love to see some photos of your result.
Potato peeler whittling
Whittling sticks is a great outdoor activity that can be almost meditative,
and providing a potato peeler rather than a knife makes it much safer.
Your child can use the peeler to whittle the bark off a stick, and then use felt tip pens to decorate it.
Stick a feather to the end, and it becomes a magic wand, or wrap it in strips of white paper and add googly eyes to make a miniature mummy:
Whittling helps hand-eye coordination, and decorating the whittled sticks promotes creativity and imagination.
What about making giant bubble too. I love these. My grandson has hours of fun in the garden blowing bubbles and popping them 💛
Giant bubbles
This hands-on science activity is much more fun than blowing bubbles from a tiny pot.
Combine six cups of water, one cup of washing-up liquid, and half a tablespoon of glycerine (the magic ingredient, available from chemists).
Tie a piece of string of any length into a circle, dip it into the bubble mix and waft it around to make giant bubbles.
Your child can experiment with how much to mix the solution to make the best bubbles,
and see which weather conditions are the best for bubble-blowing.

Hi everyone
I am sure you are all looking forward to half term.
What are you going to do?
You could go on a lovely winter walk with your family, do some baking, or make play dough ?
I thought you might even like to start a scrap book of your week.
You could even give Yoga ago. Follow the link for some great ideas
I would love to see some photos of what you got up too.
Enjoy your week
Mrs Watts

Hello everyone.
I hope you have had a restful and enjoyable half term holiday. I had a lovely week relaxing and going for lots of walks with my dog Loki.
On my walks i found lots of stones that I decided to paint and put in my garden at home. So, I thought you might like to try it too!
So next time you go on a walk with your family you could spot some great rocks and give them a makeover. I have found some ideas below to get you started. you could even decorate them and then put them around your local area for other people to fine and enjoy 😊😊
Enjoy your rock hunt.
