Ranelagh Primary School

Football Team at Winsor Primary

Published 26/02/18

Last Thursday Ranelagh's very own school football team, comprised of students in Years 4, 5 and 6, travelled to Winsor Primary to compete in two matches against Chobham Primary School and Winsor Primary School. For many on the team it was their first taste of a competive fixture, and also their first time playing on a grass pitch! The boys played brilliantly and fairplay was adhered to by all. The first match against Chobham finished in a thrilling 3-3 draw, with Bleu (Year 5) scoring a brace and Raymond (Year 6) levelling the game up in the dying seconds with an outside-the-box screamer!

On Tuesday, five Year 5 students travelled to Park Primary School to take part in a Junior RE conference. They met other Newham children to discuss and celebrate what it is like growing up in a diverse community. All the children were amazing ambassadors for our school, developing a deeper understanding of how common values affect our lives. They shared how the similiarities and differences of people across the borough make the community of Newham to be such a special place to live, focusing on the values of hope and respect.

Future Engineers Study Local Environment

Published 01/02/18

Children from Year 4 braved the elements on Wednesday to visit the Queen Elizabeth Park, intrigued in their learning about famous buildings and bridges. Through wind and rain they battled. They had a look at the world famous Aquatics Centre, designed by Zaha Hadid, the London Stadium, the Accelor Mittal Orbit and the many bridges of the park. Children looked at the different bridge designs in the park, and those they encountered on route.
