Thu 01 May 2025n Year 6LD @RF, Year 6 Discover How the Role of Women Has Changed Through History
This term, Year 6LD @RF, have been delving into an important and eye-opening topic in history: The Changing Role of Women. As part of their learning, the children explored how women’s roles and rights changed across the 16th, 17th, and 19th centuries.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, children learned that women had very few rights. Their main roles were to marry, run the household, and raise children. They couldn’t vote, own property independently if married, or work in most jobs. Education for girls was limited, and women’s voices were rarely heard in public or political life. The children were especially shocked to find out that inheritance was usually passed only to male family members—something that many of the girls (and boys!) thought was very unfair.
By the 19th century, change had started. Some women began fighting for better education, working rights, and the right to vote. Women began to take on more roles in society—working in factories, writing, teaching, and campaigning for change. This was the beginning of the long journey towards equal rights.
The class held thoughtful discussions about how grateful they are to live in a time when women and girls can choose their path—whether that’s pursuing a career, owning property, voting, or studying any subject they like. One student said, “I’m glad girls today can go to school and become anything they want. It’s not fair that they were treated so differently just because they were female.”
This topic has sparked great interest and important conversations in Year 6, and the class is proud to be learning about the people who helped shape a fairer future.

Thu 24 Apr 2025This term in geography, Y4EB@RF are learning all about the rainforest! We have discovered that rainforests are warm, wet forests filled with tall trees, colourful animals, and amazing plants. They are found near the Equator in places like South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
We talked about how important rainforests are for our planet. They help make the air we breathe by producing oxygen, and they are home to over half of all the world’s plant and animal species!
We also learned about the different layers of the rainforest – the emergent layer, canopy, understory, and forest floor. Each layer has its own animals and plants living in it.
Did You Know?
– Some rainforest trees grow as tall as 70 metres – that’s taller than 15 giraffes standing on top of each other!
– The Amazon Rainforest is so big that it produces 20% of the world’s oxygen!

This week, Year 3 @RF dove into the fascinating habitats of worms! We created our very own wormeries in small groups, exploring how these tiny creatures contribute to our environment 🌍✨. We learned about their vital role in adaptations, and why they’re so important to our planet! 🌱
Throughout the week, we observed our worms in action, adding layers of leaves, water, and creating a dark space for them to thrive in 🌙. It was a hands-on experience that taught us all about the hidden wonders of nature! 🐜🌿
