YR1CM news @RF
Wed 13 Mar 2024In Year 1CM @RF we have been learning about Christianity. We went to our local church St Barnabas and we met Father Stuart Leck. Father Leck showed us around the church and explained what happens in the church such as services, ceremonies and celebrations.
He showed us and modelled the different clothing he wears at different times of the year. He explained how the colours used for the church alter, lectern and his clothing change for Christmas, Easter and weddings.
He also shoed us how the organ works. The children were fascinated with the tunes it makes. We discussed the singing and looked at the hymns that are familiar to the children.
Father Leck led a question and answer session which the children asked some really important questions?
What do you do each day for your job? – Care for the community. Visit people in their homes or hospital. He marries people and they have classes, he baptises people he helps people when somebody dies. He reads the bible and prays with people.
What does it mean when the bell rings? – It lets the people in the community know that service is going to begin.
Why are there so many candles? – They symbolise new life and new beginnings.
Do you sleep in the church? – No but next door in the house.
He gave the children a challenge to count the crosses in the church. – We found 51!

YR2LB news @RF
Thu 07 Mar 2024Year 2LB @RF have been incredibly busy so far this half term. We have put ourselves in the role of a baker bybaking some delicious bread. This is because we have been learning about the Great Fire of London, how it all started and when and how it ended. We have even made some wonderful Tudor buildings much like those of the time.
In addition to that, in Science, we have been learning about what makes a healthy diet and even did some food tasting – let’s just say avocado and olives weren’t a hit 😊.

YR6LD News @RF
Wed 06 Mar 2024In 6LD @RF, we have been learning about living things and their habitats. Living things can be grouped according to different criteria (where they live, what type of organism they are, what features they have). For example, a camel can belong in a group of vertebrates, a group of animals that live in the desert, and a group of animals that have four legs.
A classification key is a tool that is used to group living things to help us identify them using recognisable characteristics.

REC LT news @RF
Wed 28 Feb 2024In Reception LT @RF it’s all about Pirates!! We have been reading pirate messages, making pirate boats with foil to experiment with floating and sinking. The reading corner has turned into a pirate ship and we love dressing up to read. We have had treasure hunts and made maps. We are looking forward to meeting a real pirate and asking some questions. Some pirate treasure has been found in the classroom and we have been counting and adding with the coins.

YR4SM news @RF
Wed 28 Feb 2024This week in maths (in 4SM @RF) we have been introducing fractions and discussing what is a whole. We used a ‘whole’ chocolate bar to work out how many equal parts we could split the bar into. The children enjoyed the practical element of the lesson and this inspired high quality conversations between the children.

Fri 23 Feb 2024Year 5EB @ RF were very excited to learn about the water cycle, this week.
We began by discussing ‘why is Earth known as the blue planet’ and where around us we would find water. We produced some great examples of work – we are very proud!
Below is a link, if you would like to find out more about the water cycle.

YR4/5CR news @RF
Fri 23 Feb 2024This week in YR4/5CR @RF the children have been exploring the different ways that information can be shared. The story we read (Wolves) gave us lots of interesting information, but we thought we could share information more efficiently as an information text. Here are some examples of our excellent work!
We have also started a coding club this week for Years 4 to 5. This lunchtime we explored how the program MrBit works and how it connects inputs to a control module and then to an output. We displayed our intials on the virtual LED output. Next week, we’ll transfer these to BBC MicroBits and see our programs working on Real-life circuitboards!
