  • Ranelagh Hosts Spanish Visitors

    Published 29/06/17

    In June, Ranelagh played host to some very special guests who travelled all the way from Spain to learn about our school. Children from Las Salinas, our sister school from the sunny province of Almeria, in Southern Spain, were delighted to spend a week in our school observing lessons, speaking with staff and students, and exploring London.

    Las Salinas, located in the town of Roquetas de Mar, has been part of a cultural exchange with Ranelagh for a few years now, sharing practice and hosting students from each other’s schools for a unique educational experience.

    The visit began with their arrival on Monday afternoon. Famished and tired from a long flight, they were quickly whisked off to an evening meal along Green Street, taking in the sights and sounds of our local community. Curious and insightful, they enjoyed getting to know the staff and asking loads of questions about our school.

  • Parents Maths Mornings

    Published 23/06/17

    Who doesn’t love a bit of Maths? The parents of Ranelagh certainly do! All this week parents from across the school enjoyed taking part in different Maths activities and games with their children.

    Each classroom played host and had different activities and games that the parents dove into. Disha, in Year 5, revelled at the chance to beat both her parents in a game of ‘Fifteen,’ choosing three numbers to make a sum of 15 before her parents could, adding that “It was awesome to have my parents in the classroom with me doing Maths. I loved challenging them both and beating them a few times!”

  • Futures Day

    Published 12/06/17

    On the 9th of June, Ranelagh played host to over 30 professionals including State Street Global Advisors, ELBA (East London Business Alliance) and members of the Home Office,  who volunteered their time to speak to and inspire the children of our school. Sharing insight about their jobs and different careers, they answered an abundance of questions from bright-eyed and eager children, curious to learn about what it takes to be a fire fighter, or a police officer, or even a financial advisor!

    The children enjoyed discussing career paths and the requirements needed to attain certain jobs, as well as the in's and out's of so many different professions. Leaving the event inspired, Malachi in 6T8 commented, “It has inspired me and helped me to decide what I want to do in the future. I’ve really enjoyed speaking to so many adults about their jobs and I’m fascinated to know more.”

  • A Helping Hand

    Published 09/06/17

    Over the course of the year selected Year 6 students have been paired with children in both Reception and Key Stage One to support their learning in phonics. Volunteering their time every single morning without fail, the dedicated Year Sixes help to develop speedy reading with Reception children as well as reading whole books from the phonics series for children in Year 1. 

    In the Reception setting, the Mini Phonics Leaders invite individual children to read through previously taught words. This has had great impact on not only the children in Reception, but for the Year 6 children too!
