Thu 14 May 2026This half term, 4EB @RF have loved learning all about the fascinating Maya civilisation! We discovered where the Maya lived, what daily life was like, and how they built incredible pyramids and temples deep in the rainforest. We explored Maya gods and beliefs, learned about the importance of chocolate to the Maya people, and found out how they used calendars and astronomy to understand the world around them.
One of the trickiest parts of our learning was understanding the Maya number system Using dots, bars, and symbols was very different to the numbers we use today, but with perseverance, resilience, and lots of practice, we managed it! We are so proud of all the hard work and curiosity shown throughout this topic

Thu 07 May 2026This week in RLT @RF, we have been learning all about pirates! The children have thoroughly enjoyed exploring the exciting story The Night Pirates and discovering lots of new pirate vocabulary along the way.
We talked about pirate ships, treasure, maps, and adventures at sea, and the children loved joining in with pirate role play and storytelling activities. They have been practising using new words in their conversations and retelling parts of the story with great enthusiasm and imagination.
The children especially enjoyed pretending to be pirates, speaking like pirates, and working together on their exciting adventures. It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they shared ideas and used their new vocabulary during play and class discussions.
AHOYYY ME HEARTIES!!

Thu 07 May 2026☀️🌱 With the sunshine finally making an appearance, we were so excited to welcome our families into nursery to help brighten up our garden! 🌸🪴
The children looked fantastic wearing green and had a fab time planting alongside their parents and carers. 💚 It was wonderful to see so many families working together to fill our outdoor space with beautiful new flowers and plants.
The children have already loved helping to look after our garden by watering the plants and we can't wait to watch them grow each day. 💧🌼
A huge thank you to all the families who joined us and helped make our garden such a lovely space for everyone to enjoy! ☀️

Thu 07 May 2026In Year 2 RE @RF, we have been exploring the importance of hygiene in our science lessons. As part of our learning, we carried out a fun and engaging investigation to see how easily germs can spread. We used glitter to represent germs, placing it on our hands and then shaking hands with others. The children were amazed to see how quickly the “germs” transferred from person to person, helping them understand why washing our hands properly is so important for staying healthy.

Fri 01 May 2026Year 6 @RF Dive Into the Mysterious World of The Viewer
This term, Year 6 have been captivated by The Viewer, using its eerie, thought-provoking imagery as a springboard for some truly impressive writing.
Pupils have approached their work like real authors—researching ideas in depth and transforming them into rich, imaginative pieces. They’ve explored how to craft expanded noun phrases to convey complex information concisely, creating vivid descriptions that bring their writing to life.
Inspired by the techniques of Shaun Tan, the children have carefully analysed how characters and settings are developed. They’ve then drawn on these insights to plan their own writing, experimenting with atmosphere, perspective, and detail to engage their readers.
A key focus has been understanding how grammar and vocabulary choices shape meaning. Year 6 have risen to the challenge—selecting precise language and using a wide range of cohesive devices to link ideas smoothly within and across paragraphs. The result is writing that feels both sophisticated and purposeful.
From initial ideas to polished pieces, the children have shown creativity, independence, and a real flair for storytelling. We are incredibly proud of how they have embraced the challenge and developed their voices as writers.
We hope you enjoy reading their work as much as we have!

Mon 27 Apr 2026This week in 5ZS @RF, pupils have been exploring the stages of human development as part of our science curriculum. We investigated how humans change across the life cycle, from infancy through childhood, adolescence, and into adulthood.
The children identified characteristics that are typical for their age group, as well as those that vary between individuals. Through practical enquiry, pupils measured each other and compared data with children from across the school. This allowed us to observe that age does not always correlate directly with height, highlighting the role of variation within a species.
We also examined the key physical and developmental changes that occur at each stage of the human life cycle, including growth, increasing independence, and the onset of puberty. Pupils used scientific vocabulary to describe these processes and discussed how and why humans change over time.
A fantastic week of scientific thinking and investigation in Year 5!

Fri 24 Apr 2026This week in 4EB @RF, we have been exploring the incredible work of Frida Kahlo
We looked closely at her unique style, discussing how she used bold colours, symbolism, and careful shading to express her identity and emotions. The class shared thoughtful observations about what makes her artwork so distinctive and powerful.
Building on this, we practised key artistic skills such as shading techniques and understanding facial proportions. The children then applied these skills to create their own self-portraits, taking great care to position features accurately and add depth through shading.
We are now looking forward to developing our portraits further by adding vibrant florals, inspired by Frida Kahlo’s iconic style
We were so impressed with the focus, creativity, and resilience shown by everyone. The final portraits are going to be a fantastic reflection of both skill development and personal expression—just like Frida Kahlo herself!
Well done, 4EB

Thu 23 Apr 2026Year 6 @RF have started a new book in English called ‘The Viewer’ by Shaun Tan. The children were not aware this was a real toy, so Mr Ball brought in his. They had fun looking at pictures from Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan! It was great to see their expressions, thank you Mr Ball.
