Have a safe and restful Easter holiday from all of Rangefield.
A Term In Review:
Our values this term were Trust and Love. We set the children on
two challenges to do the right thing when no one was watching and
show respect and manners to all of our Rangefield community.
The children were very successful and a huge amount of Dojos
were earnt!
Also, we have improved our website, so the children can log on to
safe and secure games, which will help with their learning. With
this opportunity, we have had a real drive to ensure all of our children are logging on to
Mathletics. We are celebrating our champions each week in our Friday Celebrations
assembly!
Some of the other amazing opportunities around the school were in Nursery where they
went on a bear hunt to Build a Bear. In Reception, they did lots of cooking in our kitchen
this term by making bread, porridge, pancakes– YUMMY. In Y1, they went on an awesome
trip to the Tower of London and Y2 went to St Paul’s Cathedral! In Y3, the children were
lucky enough to learn some circus skills by a trained professional and our Y4 and 5 children
worked hard to become Play Leaders. Also in Y4, they had the opportunity to be involved
in making sculptures for our new library, they also went on a trip to Horniman Museum to
learn about Ancient Egypt and they had a Shakespeare Workshop about Macbeth. In Y5,
some of the children learnt how to cycle safely with Bikability and they all went to the
National Maritime Museum. Our Y6 children, have been busy studying about Shackleton
and have created some amazing art from that experience. We are very proud of our Junior
Governors who have been working with Chartwells Catering to improve our menu choices and
they continued on our drive to teach children about being safe online. Let’s not forget
about our Choir who performed at Young Voices. All of our students participated in the
national Sing Up celebration, Chinese New Year, Shrove Tuesday, Dads, Grandads and
Uncles Hub, World Book day, our Sports Relief flash mob and of course our Easter Bonnet
Competition. There is so much more but it was hard to fit it all onto this page!
OBVIOUSLY, ALL of these wonderful experiences would not have happened without the
hard work and dedication of the Rangefield staff so THANK YOU for going above and
beyond! We would also like to thank all of the parents for supporting us in all we do. Have
a safe and restful Easter holiday!

The children at Rangefield
have had an amazing time
raising £404.16 for Sports
Relief this year. We began on Friday where we
wore a red top to show our support. The following Monday morning we decided to complete a
super dance challenge which involved a massive
mob dance in the playground. The children loved
it!!! We then went on to do a 5-A-Day dance every hour on the hour through the entire day!
Phew, it was exhausting, but all for a good cause.
See more overleaf.
Thank you for all
your
support!

Because the children at Rangefield excel in maths, they have been asked by the Local Authority to investigate a crime that took place involving her ladyship, Lady Fekete SzilviaSnobbish. All of the children were split up into mixed teams and were assigned to work
together to find out who could have committed this crime. Let’s see what the children
have to say about their day…
“This is tricky, but FUN!” - Group7
I think it is Lady Vander because the
way she looks is cheeky…” Red group
“We love solving the clues”– Group 3
“I think it is Richie Roache” - Group 3

gathered to take part in an a
Mob Dance to 'Cha-Cha' in
the playground.
Jarrell "People give money to charity and
they do lots of sports. We wore red tops like
strawberries! I would do it again because it
was fun!" Diamond Y2
Rainier "It was fun dressing up in different
clothes for a day and its important to give
money to people who need it." Topaz Y4
As you can see from our photos we have some
stylish dancers
among us!

One way for children to eat vegetables is to help them
to help grow their own. If you plant vegetables they already like then you are on to a winner. The staples of
the vegetable plot in children’s gardens are carrots and
tomatoes. These can be grown in a small space in your
garden or even in a tub – all you need is a packet of
seeds, some compost and a little TLC.
