Year 5 took part in 'The Great Gate Project' in Newham Heritage Month to create Stop Motion animations during art. They produced digital art which represented their understanding of our local area and how it has changed over time.
Children also created posters to go alongside of the digital art which will be share with parents and public on Saturday 22nd June 2024.
15 families at Ranelagh completed a healthy eating and fitness programme where they discussed healthy foods and recipes and then cooked these with their families .
The programme was enjoyed by parents and children as they also had family fitness sessions .
One parent said “ this is an excellent way for my grandson to learn about healthy foods . He has really cooking new recipes and wants to do this again in the new year “.

Year 6 has visited the East London Buddhist Centre this week. It has been a great experience where children have had the opportunity to learn about who Buddha was and how Buddhist people live their lives. The monk appreciated the children's knowledge and how inquisitive they were. Generosity, kindness, respecting and loving each other were some of the matters that everyone enjoyed talking about.
Our recent Dance-a-thon was a huge success, bringing the whole school together to dance to Dua Lipa’s hit song “Levitating.” Everyone showcased their best moves and had a great time with friends. The music and fun made it a day to remember. Thank you to all who participated and made this event an incredible experience!
Exciting news!!! Our adventurous year 6 children had the chance to go on a number of trips to the Olympic Stadium, Greenwich Park, West Ham Park and culminated with a sleepover at North Beckton Primary School. These much appreciated outings were fantastic opportunities for the children to bond, enjoy nature, participate in a variety of engaging activities and create lasting memories as they prepare to transition to the next stage of their education.
The smoothie morning, hosted by the Ranelagh School Council, started the day with healthy drinks, good talks, and a chance to help others. Everyone had a great time and showed their support!
Thank you everyone for making this fundraiser a remarkable success. Your contributions will go a long way in supporting our cause and helping London’s Air Ambulance Charity.
Year 6 had an exciting visit from Barclays about financial education. The Barclays team talked about the dangers of financial crime and taught the children and their parents about the risks. They also explained how staying in school can lead to good careers in the future. One key point of the discussion was about stopping fraud early. By doing this, we help protect society from fraud. Teaching kids to make smart choices now can lead to better decisions in the future.
Year 4s headed to the Tower of London last week to discover the Terrible Tudors in action. The children were taken back in history and took part in some of the enactments that paved the monarchy we know today. They learnt about the famous figures in the Tudor era from Henry VIII and his six wives to Lady Latimer who was able to tell the children about her best friend Katherine Parr and her woeful tale!
Not satisfied with this, the children also ventured into the Tower where they were able to see the magnificent crown jewels that Kings and Queens both past and present have worn. Unfortunately, they were not able to wear these, although we are sure Mrs Zaman and Mr Williams must have made a valiant attempt to do so!
It was a thoroughly, enjoyable day and we know that our year 4s will be able to name many of the wives of King Henry. Go on to test them!

Einstein, Darwin, Hawkings and now 5T9 - What on earth do they all have in common? Yes they are all scientists who have and can change the world!
Our Year 5s were specially selected by the RAF ( Royal Air Force) to visit their museum and take part in a range of activities around the exciting world of satellites. The pressure was on as the children were tasked with the challenge of landing their satellite designs safely on Earth. They had to take into account a number of factors including air resistance, heat and gravity and all the while make sure their satellite didn’t crash to the ground!
They held their breaths as the satellites made their journeys to Earth and although tense at times and with their hearts in their mouths … it was a thrilling and a much remembered experience!
In 2025 , the V&A is coming to Stratford and Ranelagh could not be more excited. Year 5 children were asked to collaborate on an art project with the museum and Arts Matters . Mrs Bahra , Ranelagh's Art Lead, enthusiastically agreed.
