• Year 6 - Trip to St Ann's Church and Gymnastics

  Mon 14 Sep 2026

  Year 6 have begun exploring their History topic of WW2 this half term, and they started with a trip to St Ann's Church to visit the RAF graves. The adults were so impressed with the children's current knowledge of WW2 and also their curious questioning. We are looking forward to exploring this subject more. We then burnt off some energy in Gymnastics in the hall! Well done, Year 6. We are so proud of how amazing you are.

  Reception have had a fantastic start to their Radipole journey. They have settled in beautifully and have enjoyed making new friends. This week we have been singing nursery rhymes, creating self-portraits and exploring our new classroom environment. The children have shown great enthusiasm and curiosity as they begin their learning adventure.

  

• Year 4 - Gymnastics and Circuits

  Fri 11 Sep 2026

  Year 4 have had a fantastic first full week back and have enjoyed getting stuck straight into their learning. We have taken part in tennis lessons with a specialist coach, visited the nature reserve, and explored electricity by building circuits and investigating how torches work.

   

  In PE, the children have been performing sequences in gymnastics, while in English they have been practising their handwriting and presentation skills. In Maths, we have begun our Place Value topic and have made a great start to developing our understanding of numbers.

  
  We are very proud of how well the children have settled back into school and look forward to another exciting week ahead.

  

• Year 1 - An exciting start to the year!

  Fri 11 Sep 2026 Mrs Ireland

  Year 1 have had a very busy and exciting start to the year!

  We have enjoyed exploring the nature reserve, practising our handwriting, and completing our first "Let's Explore" tasks. The children have shown lots of enthusiasm and have worked incredibly hard.

  In Science, we have started learning about different materials and have enjoyed investigating their properties. In Music, we have been learning how to play tuned percussion instruments and have successfully followed the pulse of a song together.

  We are so proud of how well the children have settled into Year 1 and can't wait for all the exciting learning still to come!
