Wed 12 Mar 2025This half term, Y4EB@RF have started their new science unit on electricity, and the classroom is already buzzing with curiosity. After an engaging introduction to the topic, children eagerly got hands-on by building simple series circuits using batteries, wires, and bulbs. Their faces lit up with excitement as they watched their bulbs glow brightly for the first time, proudly testing different connections and learning what makes a circuit complete.
Some groups even experimented with adding extra bulbs and buzzers, discovering how this affected their circuits. This hands-on approach has sparked a real sense of enthusiasm, and the children are excited to delve deeper into how electricity powers everyday devices and explore even more fascinating experiments in the weeks to come.

Wed 05 Mar 2025Growing and Waiting in Nursery!
This week, we have been learning all about growing with the story Jasper’s Beanstalk! Jasper was very impatient waiting for his bean to grow… and we learned that plants take time!
We planted our own beans and talked about the importance of patience while we wait for them to sprout. Then, we had a very exciting moment—we finally dug up some of the carrots we planted last year! After waiting and waiting and waiting, they were so big that we shared them with our school rabbits, Snowy and Cookie. They LOVED their homegrown treats!
Learning about growing, patience, and caring for nature—what a wonderful week! #NurseryLife #GrowingTogether #JaspersBeanstalk #PatiencePaysOff #HomegrownGoodness

YR5/6AD news @RF
Tue 04 Mar 2025YR5/6AD @RF put the finishing touches on their incredible clay sculptures, showcasing their creativity and hard work. From intricate designs to bold structures, every piece reflected the dedication and artistic vision of our talented students! However, as we evaluated our final pieces, we encountered an important lesson in sculpture-making – structural integrity! Some sculptures, though beautifully designed, sadly broke due to thin or fragile areas. While this was disappointing, it also gave us the chance to reflect on the importance of thickness, support, and balance in our work. Instead of seeing this as a setback, 5/6AD showed great resilience! We discussed what worked well, what we would do differently next time, and how learning from our mistakes makes us better artists.

Thu 27 Feb 2025This week, 3ZS @RF had a fantastic time showing their responsibility and maturity during our reading session with the R/1LT class. Each child selected a book and had the opportunity to read it to their partner. This has been a wonderful way for the children to develop their reading skills while fostering positive relationships with the younger children.
We’re excited to continue this initiative every week, giving our Year 3 students a chance to grow as role models and support the reading development of R/1LT.

Wed 26 Feb 2025YR5CE @RF have been watching a clip called ‘Alma’. A little girl finds a mysterious shop, and due to her curiosity ends up in a lot of trouble. Year 5 worked in groups and acted out the clip. They worked well together, and produced fantastic versions of what they had been watching. There was no talking allowed as the clip only played music. My class has never been so quiet!

Tue 25 Feb 2025In R/1LT @RF, we have been learning to sequence the steps to make a sandwich. We were able to talk to each other and put some pictures in the correct order. Then we wrote some instructions to help us make our own sandwich. Then we made a sandwich all by ourselves. They were so yummy!

Mon 24 Feb 2025This term, in 4EB@RF the children have been busy in the kitchen as part of our Design and Technology (DT) unit, exploring the world of seasonal food and cooking! Our young chefs have been working hard to develop key skills, from understanding different food groups to safely preparing and cooking a delicious root vegetable soup.
Here’s what we’ve been learning:
👩🍳 Identifying Food Groups – We kicked off by looking at the different food groups and why a balanced diet is important. We discovered that root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and parsnips are packed with vitamins and great for energy!
🍂 Understanding Seasonal Food – We explored how certain foods grow best in different seasons and learned that root vegetables are perfect for winter because they grow underground, keeping them safe from the cold!
📋 Planning a Meal – Before getting our aprons on, we worked in groups to design a nutritious meal. We thought about ingredients, flavours, and how to make our soup extra tasty.
🔪 Using Cooking Equipment Safely – Safety first! We learned how to chop, peel, and stir carefully, using equipment like knives and peelers with confidence.
🍲 Preparing & Cooking – The highlight was making our root vegetable soup! We chopped our ingredients, added them to the pot, and watched them turn into a warming, hearty meal. The delicious smells filled the classroom, and we couldn’t wait to taste it!
⭐ Evaluating Our Cooking – Finally, we reflected on our work. What did we enjoy the most? How could we improve our soup next time? Some of us wanted to try different herbs and spices, while others thought about making chunkier or smoother versions.
This has been an amazing learning experience, and we’re so proud of our budding chefs. Who’s ready to cook at home? 🍽️✨

Thu 13 Feb 2025🔬🎨 5/6AD @RF’s Buzz Wire Challenge! 🎨🔬
This week in Design & Technology (DT), 5/6AD put their Science knowledge to the test by creating Buzz Wire Games! Using our understanding of electrical circuits, we designed and built challenging wire mazes that test steady hands and patience.
First, we planned our designs, thinking carefully about how to shape the wire for maximum difficulty. Then, we constructed our circuits, making sure our buzzers worked properly when the loop touched the wire. Finally, we put our games to the test – some were easier than others, but all of them were lots of fun to play!
It was a great way to combine creativity with scientific thinking. Well done, 5/6AD! 🎉🔧⚡
Would you be able to complete the challenge without making the buzzer go off? 😃
