   What an exciting day in our nursery classroom!

  As part of our “Growing and Growing Up” topic, we’ve been exploring different jobs we might like to do when we are older. We were so lucky to have a special visit from Police Officer Pooke!

  He brought a real police car with him, and the children were thrilled to sit inside, beep the horn, and even turn on the siren 

  There were lots of smiles, questions, and excitement as we learned all about how police officers help keep us safe. Such a memorable experience that really brought our learning to life!

  In Year 6LD @RF the children have been developing their textile skills by learning a range of stitching techniques, including both basic and more advanced stitches. They have been practising carefully to improve their accuracy and confidence. The children are now applying these skills to design and create their own bags and pencil cases. As an added challenge, they are incorporating embroidery to personalise their work and showcase their creativity. It has been fantastic to see their enthusiasm, perseverance and growing attention to detail throughout this project, with many pupils taking great pride in their work. Well done, Year 6 – we are looking forward to seeing the final products!

  In Year 2 RE @RF, we have been exploring the work of artist L.S. Lowry and learning about his unique style. The children have created their own paintings inspired by his famous industrial scenes, using watercolours to build backgrounds of factories and buildings. They will be adding their own “matchstick people” to bring their artwork to life. We are very proud of their creativity and enthusiasm.

  5ZS @RF have been exploring the work of Georgia O’Keeffe in art 

  This week, we experimented with colour mixing to create mood and expression. After learning how to soften and calm colours, we applied these techniques to paint our own beautiful flower pieces 

  We also made a link to our English learning, where we used weather to represent emotions—bringing creativity across subjects!

  We are so impressed with the outcomes and the thoughtful way pupils have expressed themselves

  In Year 1LG at RF, the children have been learning how to use capital letters, question marks, exclamation marks, and adjectives to make their writing more interesting and accurate.

  They have been practising starting sentences with capital letters, using question marks when asking questions, and adding exclamation marks to show excitement or surprise. The class has also been exploring adjectives to help describe things in more detail.

  As part of their learning, the children have been enjoying reading The Odd Egg, a fun story about a duck who finds a very unusual egg. The book has helped inspire the children to ask questions, describe characters and objects, and express their ideas in their writing.

  Year 6 @RF had the exciting opportunity to meet author James Campbell as part of our World Book Day celebrations. Pupils thoroughly enjoyed the session and were entertained by his humour as he shared the story of his journey to becoming a writer.

  James introduced the children to several of the books he has written and explained the inspiration behind them. The pupils also had the chance to ask questions and listen as he read excerpts from some of his work, bringing his stories to life.

  It was a fantastic experience for everyone involved. A big thank you to Mr Campbell for visiting and inspiring our young readers and writers.

  3CM @RF have had a busy and productive week in class. In maths, the children have been learning about fractions, focusing on recognising and understanding parts of a whole. In English, they began planning a newspaper article based on the true story of the Three Little Pigs, developing their skills in recount writing and thinking about how journalists present information. On World Book Day we were also lucky to welcome two special visitors. Have a look at our photos and see if you can guess who they were!
