Celebrating Diwali at Rosherville!
We had a wonderful time celebrating Diwali at Rosherville! The children came into school wearing their beautiful traditional clothes, bringing lots of colour and vibrancy to our celebrations.
The children learnt the story of Rama and Sita and explored the meaning and traditions of Diwali. They took part in a range of creative activities, including making their own diyas, retelling the story using finger puppets, making firework pictures, garlands, diwali decorations and much more! Staff were lucky enough to have some Indian food brought in my members of our staff so a huge thank you to Mrs Mann in particular.
It was a fantastic opportunity for the children to learn about and celebrate this special festival, sharing in the joy, light and traditions of Diwali.
Happy Diwali from everyone at Rosherville!
Black History Month 2026 – Honouring Our Communities
This Black History Month, our pupils are exploring the theme ‘Honouring Our Communities’, celebrating the contributions of Black and Asian people to Gravesend and the wider community.
In EYFS, children are exploring belonging and kindness, creating handprints to show how we can help others and make our community stronger. Year 1 are learning about community champions, discovering how people such as Marcus Rashford make a positive difference and designing their own Community Champion medals.
Across KS2, pupils are learning about inspiring people who have made a lasting difference to Gravesend, including Claudette Bramble, who championed community relations; Sister Ursula “Sully” Sullivan, who cared for mothers and babies; Squadron Leader Mahinder Singh Pujji, an Indian RAF pilot during the Second World War; and Balwinder Singh Rana, who helped establish a youth organisation for Asian young people in Gravesend.
These activities link to our parable of the mustard seed school vision and our Christian values of courage, compassion and wisdom, reminding us that small actions can make a big difference and that we all have a part to play in helping our community flourish.
Our school came together to celebrate our Harvest Service, giving us an opportunity to reflect on the importance of gratitude, kindness and helping others. The children enjoyed celebrating the harvest and thinking about how we can show compassion by supporting those in our community who may be in need.
The service was a wonderful reminder of our school values of wisdom, courage and compassion, and how even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference – just like the mustard seed in our school vision.
Thank you to everyone who helped make our Harvest celebration so special!
Oak Class, our Year 6 pupils, have chosen Macmillan Cancer Support as their class charity this year. The children were busy selling delicious donated cakes and biscuits to raise money for this fantastic cause.
We are incredibly proud of their enthusiasm and the kindness and generosity of our Rosherville community as we work together to support people living with cancer and their families.
Every donation helps to make a difference!
