On Friday 23rd October, in honour of the anniversary, the children took part in a bulb planting ceremony.
With each year group dressed in outfits from a different decade, the children planted new bulbs on the school site for future generations of school children to admire and enjoy.
They have been planted in the shape of ‘150’ in honour of the anniversary and the children are looking forward to watching them grow next to the school field.
Acting Headteacher, Catherine Bickersteth said the celebrations have helped to bring the school community together during these unprecedented times.
“After the months of lockdown, children and staff have worked together on learning about the history behind Rolph, as it is the school’s 150th anniversary this year.
“The children have enjoyed developing their history skills and their learning has been enhanced by receiving excellent virtual workshops led by a historian.
“It has been lovely to see all the children, from Nursery to Year 6, exploring local history and talking about their learning.”
Vine Schools Trust is so pleased to see the children engaging in the history of their school and developing their understanding of decades gone by.
We look forward to seeing the flowers bloom throughout the coming year!
