  • Kings and Queens in waiting...

    Published 21/03/24

     

     

    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!

  • Scientific Thinking is the Tops

    Published 19/03/24

    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!

  • Art tells the Story- Ranelagh Teams up with V&A East

    Published 07/03/24

    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. 

    On 6th March,  Year 5 pupils - Romilly, Anastasia, Luana, Shabiha, Martin and Aaliyah -  visited Ellen Wilkinson School to take part in 'Our Stories...'  each of the children demonstrated their family stories through art
    They brought their own materials to tell their story. 
    Can you spot the 'A Child's Beach Dream'  or our budding fashion designer of the future, who designed her own T.shirt.
    'I asked Luana to tell me the story of her artwork ,' said Miss Monya, 'and there, with every layer of fabric and ruched linen, a story enfolded of Luana's family history which took us back to São Tomé and Príncipe . Luanna's pride in this was wonderful to hear. '
    As you can see by the photos, all the children have amazing stories to tell.
