  In Year 1CM @RF we shared our day together with children from different year groups with three projects:

  1. Make a castle design, paint and make it. It needed to be versatile so the children could use in role play activities
  2. Make snacks for the Kings and Queens (cracker snacks -weird concoctions), make a Royal fruit kebab
  3. Engage with each other using our school values. Respect, Fairness, Determination, Friendship, Kindness.

  All the children engaged with each other, they were all a credit to their teachers and demonstrated all of our school values throughout the day.

  The children all discussed and planned how a castle could be made. They worked collaboratively and made it happen. They used the skills of each other to ensure it would be robust and not easily fall apart. They all enjoyed sharing the responsibility of painting it. The discussions on how the younger children could play successfully with the castle was really heart-warming and I felt very proud to be part of this collaborative learning.

  The children moved around the activities with enthusiasm and respect throughout the day and were pushed on with the food projects to help them refuel throughout the sessions.

  All in all a great day!!!!!

  This week in in 4SM @RF, we have been looking at tesselations. We spoke about where they can be found in nature, including on the skin of pineapples and corn on the cobs. We also looked at and artsist called Escher who used tessleations to create artwork. The children took inspiration from this and made their own pieces.

  In 6LD @RF, we have been getting ready for transition into secondary schools, we are busy doing a workshop with NHS Healthier South East London. During the first session we discussed types of changes we all experience in life, we learnt about anxiety and when it is a problem as well as what we can do for help.  The most common worries were: homework. missing friends, not fitting in, getting lost, being bullied and detention. The workshop helped us to realise that anxiety can be used as a survival tool and can be good, however we looked at what happens when anxiety becomes a problem and what we can do.  We looked at how anxiety can affect our mental health as well as how we can balance our thoughts, feelings and worries. We ended the session looking at our individual star qualities.

  In 1MR @RF this week, we completed a maths investigation trying to find the largest total. We used lolly sticks to pick the numbers we wanted to add together, then made the numbers using practical resources and finally added them together.

   

  In art we’ve looked at the artist Hans Holbein and the techniques he used to draw his portraits. We then used his pictures as inspiration for our own portraits.

  5EB @ RF have been learning about Georgia O’Keeffe and her style of art. We started by researching her influences. In the following lessons we began looking at some of her floral pieces and her use of colour. After this, we started to look at some of her landscapes pieces and we brought this together by producing a mixed media piece as our final outcome.
