Wed 20 May 2026In Year 1LG @RF have been really busy this week. We have been learning positional language in maths. We’ve even been doing the, ‘cha cha’ slide to help us with our left and right.
We’ve also started a new book called, ‘The Magic Bed’, and we’ve started some great creative writing. We’ve also become computer specialists, by learning how to change the font on our word documents. Finally, we joined a big online webinar where Joe Wicks taught us about the importance of exercise and we even did a workout watching Joe on the screen – it was great!
For the Year 1 DT topic, we have been learning about how to identify fruit from vegetables. We also practised our cutting skills, thought about what ingredients go well together and ended the topic with making our own smoothies and designing our own smoothie carton.

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 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!
