• Fabulous Fables! Creative Hats and a Mastermind!

  Fri 07 Mar 2025

  Book Week is always brilliant at Radipole, and this year was no exception! In fact, the 'Hat Walk' certainly was a fabulous first.  

   

  4B's chosen fable was 'The Farmer and his Sons', with the moral being work hard now and reap the rewards later. 

  4P's chosen fable was 'Mercury and the Woodman', with the moral being honesty is the best policy. 

   

  We were all super proud of our Year 4 mastermind contestant, Olivia - who got all of her 10 questions on her specialist book (TheThing) correct!

   

  Thank you Year 4 - You really have shown that, 'Reading has gone to your head!'

   

  Don't forget to spend your book voucher!

  

• Year Two - Smoothies and Book Week

  Fri 07 Mar 2025 Mrs Mutch

  What an exciting week we have had!

   

  At the beginning of the week, the children designed and made their own smoothies. They learnt how to carefully use tools to peel and chop fruit, then blended the fruit with juice. The children enjoyed tasting what they had made.

   

  During the week, the children have enjoyed lots of activities for book week. They made some amazing hats, which they wore on Thursday and some children praded them in assembly. It was lovely to see so many children involved in the reading cafe, enjoying books with their adults. In class we retold a fable, then designed a decorative door and bunting for the cafe.

  

• Book swap

  Fri 07 Mar 2025

  Another successful book swap. So many children took part in our book swap. Children donated a book that they no longer read in exchange for a new-to-them book. A great use of retired books. 

  

• Year 6 - World Book Week

  Fri 07 Mar 2025

  This week, the school has been celebrating World Book Week! We have been reading a tale per class from Aesop's Fables. We have also been creating marvellous class doors based on our tale, and the children also wore some brilliant hats on Thursday. We love reading in Year 6, and we hope you do too.

  

• Year One - Remarkable Reading Hats

  Thu 06 Mar 2025 Mrs Ireland

  On Thursday, the children celebrated World Book Day by wearing some amazing book based hats. We were astounded to see the creativity and the range of stories on display. They talked bout their hats and some children were chosen to join in a whole school 'Hat Walk'. 

  We had a great day!

  

• Year 5 and 6 football friendly

  Wed 05 Mar 2025

  Yesterday, a team of Year 5 and 6 girls went to Southill for a football friendly. The match was very even throughout, but the girls took every opportunity and battled until the final whistle resulting in a 2:1 win! 

  

• Reception - Feet!

  Tue 04 Mar 2025

  This week we have spent a lot of time looking at shoes. As part of our maths work, we worked together to draw around each others feet (luckily they were not too smelly) and we used cubes to measure how long our feet were. 

   

  We showed some great maths skills and measured with and counted the cubes really carefully. Some of us had long feet that were 12 cubes long and others of us had shorted feet that were 7 cubes long.

  

• Year 4 - fractions and fables!

  Mon 03 Mar 2025

  Year 4 have been busy investigating fractions this week - why is 2 1/4 the same as 9 quarters? Why is 5/3 the same as one and two thirds? 

   

  We have also enjoyed listening to and reading lots of different Aesop's Fables as part of World Book Week. We love the animals and all the important messages and morals. Can you find any others to enjoy at home? 

  

• Year 5 - Natural Mosaics

  Fri 28 Feb 2025

  Inspired by our art lessons on Antoni Gaudi, Year 5 created some natural mosaics during our nature reserve session.

   

  The children came up with some truly inspirational ideas, using leaves, bark and other natural materials in their designs.

   

  We think even Gaudi himself would be proud!

  

• Year 3- Measuring Fun!

  Fri 28 Feb 2025 Mr Hargreaves

  This week, year 3 started a new maths topic on measuring length. Over a sequence of lessons, we have learned to use rulers to measure accurately in millimetres, centimetres and metres. We have developed these skills practically measuring objects in the classroom, windows and doorways and even each other! This week in our English lessons, we completed our classroom displays of our ‘Wizard of Oz’ character and setting descriptions. We also started learning how to write a persuasive letter. So far we have worked on including adverbials of time, imperative verbs and rhetorical questions.
