  • The Lion King

    Published 15/01/25

    What a brilliant way to begin the new term with a theatre trip to the West End. Year 6 children were incredibly lucky to be given the opportunity to see this magnificent production with the help of Newham’s enrichment programme. 

    The children’s faces lit up as the curtain rose, and the actress belted out ‘Nants antsingonyama, bagithi Baba’ From the opening number to the final showdown, the children were transfixed. 

     

    ‘ The acrobatics were amazing - how far did he fall?’ said Amira. 

    ‘The costumes , the songs , the set were amazing.’ Sali said

     

    Hopefully, having this brilliant opportunity will inspire the next generation of musicians, singers, set designers and costume designers. We are all waiting with bated breath to watch the end of Year 6 production. I’m sure it will try to match the creativity and ingenuity of this fabulous West End production.

  • Walking in a Westfield Wonderland-Ranelagh Shines in Festive Harmony at Christmas Choir Competition

    Published 04/12/24

    Christmas Choir Competition Marching out of the school to the sound of Winter wonderland, the choir confidently settled their nerves as they made their way to Westfield, Stratford. Every Friday, after school, they practised for the seasonal event of Newham Schools Christmas Choir Competition. Mr Murdoch would tinkle the ivories, Mr Williams would conduct and Ranelagh’s wonderful choir would raise their voices in sweet harmony. 

    Taking in a deep breath, they took to the stage to perform. Their opening song gathered the crowds of Christmas shoppers around the stage - Walking in Winterland echoed around the shopping arcade. The audience cheered and smiled as the choir went through their repertoire of songs, such as Silver Bells, Rocking around the Christmas Tree and The 12 Days of Christmas.

    On Tuesday, Ranelagh Primary School was bursting with colour, creativity, and mismatched socks as we celebrated Odd
    Sock Day! This fun-filled day encouraged children and teachers to proudly wear their brightest, quirkiest mismatched
    socks as a joyful reminder to embrace what makes us all unique. The day focused on promoting kindness, inclusivity, and
    respect for others, in line with Anti-Bullying Week. In classrooms, teachers led discussions and activities on the
    importance of celebrating each other's differences and supporting friends. Children were encouraged to share what
    makes them unique, which led to thoughtful conversations about individual strengths, talents, and interests.
