    Fri 19 Apr 2024

    This week in in 4SM @RF, we have been learning about rivers in geography and decided to incorporate this into our creative writing. We have been writing poems about how rivers make us feel, what they look like and how they capture our imagination. The children loved the freedom they had to design and write their own poems and they have produced some delightful outcomes. 

    We have also been studying Angie Lewin and how she manipulate colour to create mood and tone in her work surrounding wildlife. The children used water colours to create a gradient effect for the background and then carefully used their brush control to paint on flowers and wildlife on top.

    In 6LD @RF, we are learning about, “The Changing Role of Women”. We are exploring how women’s roles in society have evolved over time. From ancient civilizations to modern times, women have made significant strides in various fields, including politics, education, and the workforce. This journey highlights key moments such as suffrage movements, the fight for equal rights, and the emergence of influential female figures. Through this exploration, children learn about the challenges women faced and the progress made towards achieving gender equality. Here is some of the learning we have done this week.

    In 1MR @RF, we have been learning about Joseph Bazelgette in history.  This week we wrote about why he was so important.  Over the past few weeks, we have learnt lots of disgusting facts about how we got rid of our waste (poo and wee) before we had sewers.  Read some of the work in our history books to find out why we should be so grateful to Joseph Bazelgette, or ask one of the children in our class!

  • YR5EB news @RF

    Mon 25 Mar 2024

    In their riveting river adventure tale, Year 5EB @ RF have masterfully employed various literary skills to captivate their readers. Through the use of correct punctuation for direct speech, they brought their characters to life, infusing their dialogues with authenticity and emotion. They included a diverse range of sentence starters in their writing, we explored writing sentences using the different figurative language techniques such as similes, metaphors and hyperboles, to describe their characters and setting. They worked hard in producing an engaging narrative, seamlessly transitioning between scenes and actions. Additionally, their skilful use of subordinating conjunctions allowed for the expansion of ideas. We cannot wait to share our amazing work with year 3 next week.

    This week in YR4/5CR @RF, we have been learning all about rivers. We’ve used the stimulus of the short CGI film ‘Kayak’ to base our writing on. We’ve used drama to help us plan and included lots of figurative language to write amazing adventure stories with a comedic slant.

    Wed 20 Mar 2024

    At Oakbridge Nursery – we went ‘quackery’ for ducks. 

    We’ve been learning about life cycles, so what better way to learn than to see it happen in our classroom. 

    On Monday morning we had a visitor who delivered us some eggs. On Tuesday we had one duckling, on Wednesday we had two ducklings, on Thursday we had three ducklings… our last duckling was a little tired so didn’t hatch until the weekend. All the children took it in turns to hold the ducklings every day, we made sure that they had water and food, the ducklings even went swimming in our water tray.

    The children have had the best experience looking after our ducklings, they have now gone back to the farm to find their mummy & daddy ducks. 

  • YR3AD news @RF

    Thu 14 Mar 2024

    This half term, Year 3AD @RF have been learning how to say the words for different shapes in French! This week we tried to find shapes in word searches, then practised counting up to five so we could count out how many shapes we could see! We found out that many of the French words for shapes are similar (including their pronunciation) to the English version, this makes them easier for us to learn.
