  Year 5RB@RF have had an amazing start to the new academic year. All the children look smart and have come in to class ready to learn. We have started strong and jumped straight into our learning, challenging ourselves in maths with place value activities. In English, we’ve been generating characters and ideas for a narrative we will be writing next week. In French, we have learnt lots of vocabulary relating to komodo dragons. We have also had an exciting time in science and even did our first experiment of the year, finding out what happens when you mix substances together. Finally, we are reading the book called ‘Wonder’ . We’re getting to know characters and their feelings behind a boy who faces many challenges in life and is about to start school for the first time in year 5. Mrs Rodrigues and Ms Bodington a really proud of all the children in the class and are looking forward to an exciting year ahead.

  This term, our 6LB have dived into A. M. Dassu’s compelling novel, Kicked Out. The children have been thoroughly engrossed in the story, engaging in rich discussions around its powerful themes of friendship, empathy, and migration. It has been inspiring to see them reflect on what it truly means to offer a welcoming hand and stand up for one another, both in the classroom and within our wider community.

  • Rhylee: “I couldn’t put Kicked Out down! It really showed me what true friendship looks like when things get tough, and how important it is to stand by the people you care about.

  • Armela: “Reading this book helped me understand what people go through when they have to leave their homes and start over. It made me realise how welcoming we all need to be to new people in our community.”

  • Stephen: “Kicked Out is such an exciting story, but it also made me think a lot about fairness. My favorite part is seeing how the characters work together—it shows that friendship can overcome almost anything.”

  A Fantastic Start in Nursery!

  We have had a wonderful start to the new school year in Nursery! We have enjoyed welcoming our new starters and welcoming back children who were with us last year. Everyone has settled in brilliantly and is becoming more confident with our Nursery routines.

  The children have been busy exploring their new environment, learning about themselves and each other, and making lots of new friends. It has been lovely to see them sharing, playing together and growing in confidence each day.

  We are so proud of all our Nursery children and the fantastic start they have made!

  Our Reception children @RF are beginning to settle beautifully into their new routines. They are getting to know their adults, making new friendships with their classmates, and becoming familiar with their new learning environments.

  It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they explore, play, learn and discover new things each day. We are so proud of how well they are adapting to this exciting new chapter!

  Year 2RE @RF have settled into their routines so well and are already doing some amazing work! We have been describing characters from the story ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’ and in DT we have been designing fairground wheels. We have to make sure we included an axle and a wheel, eight pods and a frame. We now need to make them!
