  The children in Reception LT @RF have had a fantastic start to our school year.  They have been busy trying out their independent learning skills. 
  The children enjoyed using their phonics skills to build and blend words with the sounds we know really well, writing names and labels.
  In art we are learning to mix colours, the children used the primary colours and the story Mouse Paint to find out how to make secondary colours. As part of learning about ourselves we have read The Colours of Us. The children have been drawing portraits, then painting them by mixing skin tones with red, yellow, black and white paint.
  In maths the children have explored making repeating patterns around the environment, we have also learnt about repeating patterns in music.

  2LB @RF have had such a busy term so far. We have been doing some excellent maths work, practising place value and number bonds.

  In English, we have been learning to use adjectives and conjunctions and we’ve created the most amazing stories. On top of all this, we’ve been learning about animals and their habitats. We even went on a school trip to the local park where we found plenty of mini beasts.

  We are looking forward to next term, when we’ll be finding out all about inventors and their wonderful creations. We hope you have a restful half term.

  We have had a spooky, spine chilling week in 1MR @RF. Our English book is ‘Funny Bones’ and we have been learning how to write scary sentences with capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. The scariest sentences have been put up in our ghostly book corner.

  In Geography we have continued to add ourselves to the class map and it has been interesting to find out where everyone’s family comes from.

  In Art we have used skin tones to create self-portraits. Can you guess who’s who?

  In our science lesson, in 1CM @RF, we have been investigating different sounds and how to use our senses to compare different sounds. We listened to different sound clips to see whether we could identify what was making each sound. We then went into the playground and investigated different volumes. As a challenge we worked together to identify which direction sounds came from.

  We played a game of secret whispers where the children whispered a word. They had to keep the whisper going around the circle. This was a game that we had to really concentrate and listen carefully. Please play these games at home to develop the fun learning happening in our class.

  In 6LD @RF, we are learning about the circulatory system. The children learned all about the roles of the heart, lungs and the different blood vessels have in transporting blood around our bodies. The children have presented a difficult subject in an engaging way. The year 6 teachers are incredibly proud of the work they have produced. The children decided to create further work and use their knowledge to display their learning in a creative way for our displays. Amazing work Year 6.

  Last week, 5EB @RF learned all about persuasive writing - how to persuade someone to do or believe something through reasoning. We made the most of the sunshine and took our learning outside. In history we are learning all about the Victorian Era - the class was split in half and we debated the pros and cons of workhouses, using technical vocabulary. Here is an example. 

  "Some people believe that being  at the workhouse provided them with food and shelter."

  "However, others think that the workhouses were a dangerous and unhygienic."
