Thu 15 May 2025🎉 Year 6 SATs Week – Breakfast Club Success! 🍳🥐
This week @RF, we are incredibly proud of our Year 6 pupils for showing such resilience, maturity, and determination as they tackled their SATs tests head-on. To help them start each day the right way, we’ve been running our special SATs Breakfast Club all week – and what a success it’s been!
Each morning, our amazing children arrived early to enjoy a calm, social start to the day with a variety of tasty breakfast options on offer. From toast and cereal to fruit and juice, they fuelled their bodies and minds in preparation for the day ahead.
Today, to celebrate the end of a challenging week, we treated them to a full English breakfast – and it went down a storm! There were smiles all around as sausages, eggs, beans, and hash browns were served up alongside well-earned praise and a sense of relief.
We are so proud of each and every one of our Year 6 children. They’ve worked so hard and truly deserve a restful weekend. A huge thank you as well to the staff who helped make the breakfasts possible and brought positive energy to every morning.
Well done, Year 6 – you’ve smashed it! 💪🌟

REC LT news @RF
Mon 12 May 2025In RLT @RF, we have been observing caterpillars in our classroom. We watched them grow into fully developed caterpillars and then make their chrysalis. It took about 10 days before they emerged as butterflies. We looked closely at the pictures and were amazed when we zoomed in to see their features.

Wed 07 May 2025YR2RE @RF have been looking at healthy eating in DT. We have been designing meals that include the five main food groups and finding out why it is important to eat a balanced diet. When making fruit salad we made sure we washed and peeled the correct fruits and safely cut them into small pieces. Then the best bit… the taste test!
We had a great day celebrating VE day, we made spinning tops and played pick up sticks as part of our celebrations.

YR3ZS news @RF
Tue 06 May 2025Yester day in Year 3ZS @RF, we had a fantastic day filled with learning, celebration, and reflection as we marked VE Day. In the morning, we took part in an engaging workshop where we learnt about the impact of World War II, including the staggering fact that over 70 million people lost their lives during the conflict – it would take more than two years to read all of their names aloud. In the afternoon, we stepped back in time and enjoyed playing traditional games that children would have played in 1945, helping us to better understand and connect with the experiences of those who lived during that era.

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.

YR4EB news @RF
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!
