Adventures in Learning!
At Bunscoill Rhumsaa, we believe children learn better when they are encouraged to use their imagination and apply learning to engaging contexts. Throughout the academic year, we provide learning challenges which require children to solve problems, apply themselves creatively and express their knowledge and understanding effectively throughout the curriculum.
Exciting, imaginative topics provide an engaging environment for children to develop new skills, increase their knowledge and become skilled learners, while our rigorous 'essential skills' framework ensures that children's progress is carefully monitored, so that each pupil is able to follow their own, individual learning requirements.
On our website, you'll be able to keep up to date with our adventures in learning - we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Our Reception children have been out and about exploring and taking notice of how the world looks during the Autumn months. All that learning has inspired this beautiful artwork! We think the paintings look terrific - well done to all of our little artists!
In Year 6, our children are enjoying the topic 'Fallen Fields'. They have studied some first-hand recounts of what life was like for soldiers in the trenches, and have read some genuine letters from the time to help them get a great understanding of how things were. That's inspired them to write th…
In Year Two, the topic is 'Muck, Mess and Mixtures'! This is a very exciting topic which allows the children to investigate all sorts of Science and Art, as well as inspiring some great writing! In the picture, you can see that the children have used the story of 'George's Marvellous Medicine' by R…
In our Discovery class, children are reading the story of The Wizard of Oz. They've used this as the basis for some fantastic learning, artwork and writing! As you can see in the picture, the children are using 'Thinking Maps' to help to order their thoughts and ideas.
