The Reception children had a great day out at Willow Activity Farm Park on Friday 23rd May They went on a guided tractor ride around the farm to see some of the bigger animals to learn about the breed of each animal, where they originally come from and what they like to do and eat. They ended the day playing on the outdoor adventure playground and playing in the soft play areas
where they all had great fun.
On Friday 9th May, Year 1 pupils went on a trip to Legoland, Windsor. All the pupils were extremely excited and couldn’t wait to get on the coach! On arrival they went to the Legoland Driving School where they had great fun driving the model cars before visiting other areas of the park. The children also went on an adventure through Miniland, where they saw miniature Lego versions of the London Eye, Tower of London and many other famous landmarks. The children really enjoyed themselves and the weather was absolutely perfect! We would like to thank all parents, guardians and carers who attended this trip and helped throughout the day.
Rosedale Primary School came together to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe with a day of meaningful celebration and reflection. The school was filled with a sense of pride and remembrance as children and staff dressed in 1940s-style clothing, took part in themed activities, and learned about the significance of Victory in Europe Day. Throughout the day, pupils engaged in history lessons focusing on World War II, explored artefacts, listened to wartime music, and created artwork and writing inspired by the era. The event not only deepened pupils’ understanding of this pivotal moment in history but also fostered a strong sense of community and gratitude! The pupils returned buzzing with excitement and newfound knowledge truly a memorable experience for our young scientists.
On Friday 2nd May 2025, our Year 2 pupils embarked on an exciting adventure to The Look Out Discovery Centre in Bracknell. The trip was packed with hands-on activities that brought science to life in the most engaging way! From launching rockets and experimenting with forces to exploring the light and sound zones, pupils were able to apply their classroom learning in a real-world setting.
On Thursday 24th April, local Metropolitan Police Officers visited the children in Nursery and Reception. The children asked the Police Officers lots of questions about their job. The children were so impressed by what they heard that some of the children said when they grow up they want to be a Police Officer!
On Thursday 27th and Friday 28th March, the Reception and Nursery children paraded their Easter Bonnets around whilst singing at the top of voices for their families and the Easter bunny to hear. Their families were delighted to see all their bonnets that they had worked so hard on with their children.
Last week, parents, guardians and carers of children in Reception and Nursery had the opportunity to come for a Stay and Play. They were able to stay see what their children did while in class, what sort of activities they do and play with their children. All those who attended really enjoyed being able to see what their children get up to during the school day and felt that it was a really invaluable experience!
The Early Years children have had special visitors in school this week, ducklings! The children have been learning about the life cycle of ducklings from seeing them in their eggs, to watching them hatch and caring for them afterwards. The children have been taking good care of the ducklings whilst interacting with them by feeding them and giving them lots of cuddles!
Thank you to all parents, guardians and carers of Reception and Nursery children who came in and helped their children make their Easter Bonnets. It was lovely to see you all, they were all a work of art.
To celebrate St David’s Day, the children created their own St David’s Day cards to mark the occasion. To celebrate the Patron Saint of Wales, whilst engaging in a meaningful Art and anaesthetic experience, the children used a daffodil (the national flower of Wales) as a predominant feature on their cards before expressing words of gratitude to their loved ones.
On Thursday 27th February 2025, the Year 6 pupils took part in the STIXX workshop. With the exciting opportunity to create towers solely from recycled newspaper and cable ties, the pupils adopted innovatory methods to construct a tower stable enough to stand freely with the least amount of newspaper rods. With many creative ideas blossoming, the pupils succeeded in building multiple stable towers by feeding rolled up newspaper through the STIXX machine, which turned the paper into solid poles! All of the children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the workshop.
To consolidate their knowledge on topics related to their classwork, the Year 4 pupils visited The Natural History Museum. The museum is divided into four different zones, each offering a unique learning experience. In the Orange Zone, pupils learned about real science in the Darwin Centre and got close to a range of soft bodied specimens (fish, reptiles and amphibians). In the Blue Zone, pupils explored the skeletons of different animals. Pupils were amazed at the life-sized blue whale model. In the Green Zone, pupils walked beneath the skeleton of the largest
animal on earth, a 120 million-year-old Mantellisaurus. In the Red Zone, pupils explored the evolution of life on our planet. Overall, the pupils had a fun-filled day of exploring.
