  Last week, in 4EB@RF, we had a fantastic parental engagement session within our Year 4 class, where students teamed up with their parents for a fun and challenging escape room activity! It was a great way to encourage teamwork, problem-solving, and communication skills. The puzzles were definitely tricky, and at times it seemed like the challenges were too much for them. But seeing the kids persist, help each other, and even laugh through the frustration was such a highlight. Everyone really came together to make the most of the experience, and it was a brilliant opportunity for parents to get a taste of what their children are learning in school. Can't wait for our next one.

   Storytime Fun with Dear Zoo!  

  This week, our little learners have been diving into the beloved story Dear Zoo! 

   Retelling the Story:
  We’ve been using our imagination to retell the tale, bringing the characters to life in our own words! 

   Exploring the Animals:
  With our fine motor skills hard at work, we’ve been feeling, sorting, and exploring all the wonderful animals from the story. 

   Where’s the Puppy?
  Our positional language skills are growing as we describe where the cheeky little puppy is hiding. Under the table? Next to the box? Behind the chair? 

   Lion Faces:
  ROAR! Our creative juices were flowing as we made our very own lion masks. Fierce, fabulous, and full of fun! 

   Building a Zoo:
  Tiny architects have been hard at work designing and building their very own zoos. What amazing creations they’ve made! 

   Our Very Own Book:
  We’ve even created our own Dear Zoo book with all the children’s wonderful drawings and words. Storytime has never been so much fun! 

  We’re so proud of how engaged and creative our little ones have been this week.  What a joy it is to see them learning through play!

  This week, 3ZS @RF have been diving into the fascinating world of our brains! From the Hippocampus to the Amygdala and Prefrontal Cortex, we’ve been learning how these components help us think, feel, and grow. We’ve also been focusing on myHappymind and how we can use these lessons to boost our well-being.
  We can’t wait to share what we’ve learned with our families next month! And don’t forget – Happy Breathing is the key to staying calm and focused!

  This term, the talented students of Class 5/6AD @FP have been diving into the world of computing, exploring an important topic: copyright. They’ve learned how copyright affects the content they use and create, gaining an understanding of how to respect the work of others while building their own creative projects.

  With this knowledge in hand, the class has put their skills to the test by designing and building their very own websites using Google Sites! Each student has chosen a unique topic they’re passionate about, creating informative, eye-catching pages that showcase their creativity and newfound digital skills.

  The project involved learning about design principles, embedding media, and curating original or properly attributed content—all while keeping in mind the importance of staying on the right side of copyright laws. The results have been truly impressive, with students proudly sharing their work and inspiring each other to think critically about the digital world.

  Have a look at their sites here:

  We are incredibly proud of their hard work and enthusiasm. Keep up the fantastic effort, 5/6AD!

   What an Exciting Day at Nursery! 

  Our little learners had an unforgettable experience as we continued our exploration of vehicles! The fire engine came to visit, and it was an absolute hit with both the children AND the adults! 

  The kids were thrilled to climb aboard the mighty fire engine , explore all its cool features, and even get a chance to try spraying water on the nursery roof!  It was a blast watching them have so much fun while learning about this important emergency vehicle!

  Thank you to our amazing firefighters for making this visit possible and giving our nursery class such a hands-on experience!

  In R/1LT @RF, we have been learning to make teddy bears. In DT we designed a bear in our books and made notes on resources we need to make it. We joined two pieces of material together by sewing with a needle and thread. We used stuffing to pad it out and then a glue gun to stick on the eyes and paws. Some of our bears have bow ties! We are SUPER PROUD of our work.

  With Christmas soon approaching, children in YR5CE @RF were able to have a quick trip to St Barnabas Church in Downham, where they meet Reverend Stuart. They had a very informative hour asking him questions and looking around the church. They all came back to Rangefield after learning a lot about Christianity and specific objects in the church. Additionally, finding out that the church got damaged during WWII!!

  This week, Year 6LD @RF has been working on their narrative writing skills, crafting compelling stories set during World War II. Drawing on their historical knowledge, students have created rich, imaginative narratives that bring the past to life, focusing on the experiences of people living through the war. From the hardships of life on the homefront to the bravery of soldiers on the battlefield, their stories reflect both the challenges and resilience of the time.

  The class has worked hard to incorporate vivid details, historical accuracy, and emotional depth into their writing, making it both informative and engaging. We are incredibly proud of the creativity and thoughtfulness displayed by all the students, and we look forward to sharing some of their outstanding work with you soon!

  Keep up the great work, Year 6LD!
