Rogerstone School, Newport

Year 2 & 5

I had a week at Rogerstone School which was a pleasure to work in one school for a period of more than a couple of days. I had 4 days with the same year 2 class so I got to know a whole class by the time I left, something I'd only been able to do at Govilon when I had a class of six.

The school itself has an interesting history. Six years ago the school was burnt to the ground by arsonists. The newly remodelled school is fantastic but it must have been crushing for those at the school.

Saw a fantastic puppet show called Jingle Jangle Jungle put on by the Wales Puppet Society. Also had the pleasure of experiencing a lunchtime fire drill. Not planned but caused by the dinner lady burning dessert. You'd think a school with their history would be more careful in the kitchen.
