Magic Moments

Year 1 Great Fire of London Workshop

Year 1 had a fabulous visit from Mary (Freshwater Theatre Company) who came all the way from London, Pudding Lane in 1666. She told us all about the events of the Great Fire of London! We acted some of the famous historical parts such as Samuel Pepys and King Charles II, danced a fire dance with ribbons and learned lots and lots of facts. It was sparktactular!

Christmas 2022

Christmas was celebrated through a range of events like our Christmas dinner, visit from Santa at our Christmas parties and through our special Nativity play, Light, Camel, Action that we performed in St. Nicholas Church.

Come on England!

We were delighted to be invited by our partners Burton Albion Community Trust, to wave off the England team, on their way to the World Cup. Despite the weather, it was a really exciting opportunity and one we will never forget!

Year 4 visit the Valley of Invention – October 2022!

Year 4 have visited Enginuity in Coalbrookdale as part of their Autumn 1 topic. Linking with learning in science and Design Technology, the children built a power buggy using a wide variety of materials on their visit to the Valley of Invention at the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Thinking about forces, electrical circuits and customisation – each team had a theme, sponsor and name. After all of this, it was a race against the clock to see which vehicle sped down the track quickest.

This was the children’s first day out as a class in three years and we couldn’t have been more proud of all of them.

Well done, Y4!

If you’d like to see any of the power buggies, feel free to pop in to Y4 to take a look!

Jubilee Celebrations June 2022

Jubilee Celebrations

We have had a wonderful day celebrating the Queen’s platinum jubilee. Thank you to all the PTFA for helping organise today’s events. We hope the children will treasure their coin keepsake, I still have mine from the silver jubilee in 1977! Mrs Hanson

On behalf of all at RCFS we thank Her Majesty the Queen for her service over the 70 years reign, long live the Queen!

GANAS is back!

Thank you to everyone for your amazing GANAS projects. We loved seeing them and I know that all the children enjoyed telling everyone about them. The most common use of ganas in Spanish is with the verb tener: “tengo ganas de…”, which in in English can be translated to “want” or “feel like” or to have the “urge” to do something.

GANAS projects replaced our weekly maths and English home learning across the school during the first half of the summer term and our expo took place on Wednesday, 25th May 2022.

Check out these amazing pictures of just a small number of projects!
