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.
Parents and children loved getting involved with our Spring Craft sessions! One of our very talented parents organised all the creative activities for our families to enjoy together!
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.
We held our annual Mother’s Day Events during March and we had lots of mums, grandmas and female role models join us. We made beautiful keepsakes together and enjoyed some delicious pizza!
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

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.
