Pupils at RPS have been completing tasks in form time to think about the last 1000 days until the 2012 London Olympic games, encourage excitement and remind them about the 7 Values of the Games. Pupils watched the Get Set video and then completed tasks from the web site.

Forms were commissioned to produce a 50p for 2012 with the winner being chosen by Dan Klinger, our PDM. An Olympic quiz was available and some students wrote letters to sporting heroes.

Older students thought about the importance of 1000 days and reflected on the last 1000 days and how they have developed both personally and at school. Students set targets that they want to achieve in the next 1000. These will be kept and given back to the students at the opening of the games. Our young ambassadors have also been lucky enough to visit the Olympic site.

One year 10 form has arranged to run a form marathon with each student running a mile around school until 26 have been completed.

Lloyds TSB National School Sport Week takes place from 28 June to 2 July 2010 and RPS will be building on the 1000 count down to encourage pupils to get involved in lots of different sporting opportunities.

As the Waitrose shoppers amongst you will know, Waitrose have a scheme whereby shoppers can vote for their favourite good cause by putting a token in the appropriate slot in store when they shop.

At the moment, all three secondary schools in Harpenden are competing for our votes. Our cause is to buy trampolining equipment for our successful squad. Please support us by putting your tokens in Roundwood's slot to raise funds for your school.

Megan Sutton and Katherine Richardson had garments they had produced for AS Art Textiles displayed in the window of Woosters (48, High St, Harpenden) over Half Term. They were the final pieces produced for their coursework based on ‘Surfaces’.

Our school canteen provides healthy, nutritious meals for our students and in order to keep up these high standards we are looking for parents with time to join our canteen committee which will meet once every half term after school. Students, staff, parents and governors will all be represented on it and ideas for improving any aspects of the canteen will be discussed and evaluated.

If you are interested in joining the committee please contact Ann Price, Parent Governor, email: annprice@tiscali.co.uk, or Mr Smith, School Business Manager on 01582 765344.

If the school has to close due to severe weather conditions, announcements will be made on BBC Three Counties Radio (103.8fm/95.5fm or 630mw/1161mw) and Mercury FM (96.6fm).

We will endeavour to update the school answering machine (01582 765344) and website as early as possible on the day of closure. Information will also be posted on www.hertsdirect.org
