Fri 10 Jul 2026What a wonderful few weeks we have had in Reception T @RF! We are excited to share some of the fantastic learning experiences our children have enjoyed.
A Fantastic Adventure at Little Foragers Forest School
Our recent trip to Little Foragers Forest School was a huge success! The children had the most amazing time exploring the natural environment and embracing outdoor learning. They were curious, confident, and fully engaged throughout the day.
The children loved searching for insects, discovering different forest plants, and creating beautiful nature crowns using petals and other natural treasures they found along the way. They enjoyed the freedom to explore, investigate, and play in a safe and inspiring woodland setting. It was wonderful to see their excitement as they worked together, asked thoughtful questions, and developed their appreciation for the natural world.
The day was filled with adventure, laughter, and memorable learning experiences that we know the children will remember for a long time.
Festival of Us – Discovering Italy
As part of our Festival of Us celebrations, Reception has been learning all about the beautiful country of Italy.
The children have enjoyed a range of hands-on activities that brought Italian culture to life. We made delicious pizzas and refreshing ice cream, explored the many different shapes of pasta, and talked about how they are used in traditional Italian cooking.
Our learning has also included music and language. The children have loved learning simple Italian greetings and enthusiastically singing an Italian song all about pizza. It has been wonderful to hear them confidently using new words and embracing another culture through fun, practical experiences.
These exciting activities have helped the children develop their understanding of the wider world while encouraging curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning.
We hope you enjoy looking through the photos from our recent adventures. They capture just some of the smiles, excitement, and wonderful memories we have made together. Thank you, as always, for your continued support—we are looking forward to many more exciting learning experiences in the weeks ahead!

Fri 10 Jul 2026Year 2RE’s Growing Garden!
Year 2RE have been enjoying becoming young gardeners by growing tomatoes and sunflowers. We carefully planted tiny seeds and have looked after them by watering them regularly and making sure they had plenty of sunlight.
It has been amazing to watch them grow from tiny seeds into strong, healthy plants. Our sunflowers have grown so tall, and our tomato plants are thriving too! The children have loved observing the changes each week and learning what plants need to grow.
We are so proud of how well our plants have grown and of the care and responsibility the children have shown throughout this exciting project.

Thu 09 Jul 2026Year 4 Art Inspired by Nature
Our talented Year 4 pupils@RF have been exploring the beauty of the natural world through printmaking, inspired by this term’s nature theme and the incredible work of Sir David Attenborough.
Using real leaves, the children have created unique and colourful botanical prints, carefully observing the patterns, textures and shapes found in nature. Through this project, they have celebrated the importance of our environment while developing their artistic skills and creativity.
We are delighted to share that these beautiful prints will be available for parents and carers to purchase during our Festival of Us on Thursday 16th July. Every print is a unique piece of artwork and a wonderful keepsake of your child’s creativity and learning.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Festival of Us and hope you enjoy seeing the fantastic work our Year 4 artists have produced!

Thu 09 Jul 2026Year 1LB @RF have had a fantastic half term! We have been protesting about what we would like banned. The children waved banners around the classroom having come up with their own ideas. This was part of learning in English. We’ve read the book, ‘ The King who banned the dark’. We have also written our own narratives about what we would ban and why. They have done so incredibly well. As well as English, we have been continuing with our maths learning and challenging ourselves with more reasoning problems, which the the children have loved and put lots of effort into.
Special mention to Frankie, who has created a fantastic piece of homework based around our history topic of, ‘kings and queens’. He put a lot of effort into his research into King Henry VIII, well done Frankie. Also, a special mention to Vienna who has created some fabulous artwork at home, her drawings are wonderful and it has been so exciting for her to share these with us. Good job Vienna!
It has been a hot, busy and fun half term in Year 1. The Year 1 team are very proud.

Fri 26 Jun 2026This week, Rec LT @RF have been very busy despite the hot weather! We have been finding lots of ways to stay cool, including dipping our feet into tuff trays and pretending we were at the beach – it was so much fun!
In Maths, we have been doing some fantastic learning. The children have been exploring number bonds to 10 using objects on ten frames, showing great confidence in their counting and number skills.
We also enjoyed a very special visit from Year 5, who came to share some of their wonderful poetry with us. Reception listened beautifully and thoroughly enjoyed hearing the older children’s creative work.
The sunshine has encouraged lots of calm and focused learning throughout the week, and we are so proud of how well the children have worked. We hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
