  As part of their geography learning on climate and habitats, Class 3CM @RF visited London Zoo to explore how animals adapt to different environments around the world. Pupils investigated the links between climate and animal behaviour, including how diet, feeding habits, and self-care vary depending on the region the animals come from. They learned about species from rainforests, deserts, polar regions, and savannahs, deepening their understanding of global climates and the challenges animals face in the wild. The visit provided valuable, hands-on learning that brought their geography topic to life.

  YR6CE @RF Hit the High Notes with Primary Robins!

  This term, Year 6 have been enjoying weekly music lessons with a professional opera singer from Primary Robins, a wonderful initiative bringing the joy of singing into schools. Every Friday, the children take part in fun and engaging sessions where they learn vocal warm-ups, explore singing in different languages, and develop their musical confidence.

  This week’s highlight? Singing in a Scottish accent! The class also delved into the stories behind the songs, gaining a deeper appreciation of the music they performed.

  What an amazing opportunity for our young performers—well done, Year 6!

  Year 6LD@RF – Travels to the Renaissance!

  This term, the children in 6LD have been stepping back in time to explore the incredible world of Renaissance art — and what a journey it’s been!

  We’ve been learning all about how artists like Leonardo da Vinci didn’t just paint — they studied the world around them with the eyes of scientists and the hearts of storytellers. From the mysterious smile of the Mona Lisa to the dramatic scene of The Last Supper, Leonardo showed us how powerful art can be when it captures real life and real emotion.

  To understand how Renaissance artists made their work so lifelike, the children explored techniques such as chiaroscuro (that’s light and shadow magic!) and perspective to give their drawings depth and realism. It’s amazing how much you can do with just a pencil and a keen eye!

  Their challenge? Take a simple apple — yes, just an ordinary apple — and turn it into a masterpiece using everything they’ve learned. And let’s just say… we’ll never look at fruit the same way again!

  Well done, 6LD — da Vinci would be proud!

  This week in Year 1/2RE @RF, we’ve been busy exploring lots of exciting independent learning!

  In English, we’ve been writing sentences about minibeasts, focusing on using conjunctions to add extra detail and information. All of this fantastic work is helping us prepare to write our very own non-fiction books all about minibeasts — we can’t wait to share them!

  In Geography, we started by learning about the countries of the United Kingdom. Now, we’ve expanded our knowledge even further by exploring the seven continents of the world! We even created fact files to showcase what we’ve learned.

  Can you remember which continents are near the equator? Or which ones are covered in ice? Which continent is home to pandas, and where would you find the country of Brazil?

  In RLT @RF, we’ve been having a fantastic time developing our early literacy skills through fun and engaging phonics activities!

   

  This week, we’ve been working hard to recognise and say our phonics sounds with confidence. One of our favourite activities has been matching pictures to the correct ‘sound buses’ — it’s been a great way to reinforce our learning while having lots of fun!

   

  We’ve also been strengthening our fine motor skills through a variety of hands-on activities, such as threading, cutting, and mark-making. These important skills are helping us build the strength and control we need to become confident writers.

   

  We’re so proud of how hard everyone is working — keep it up, RLT!
