We were delighted to welcome the parents, guardians, and carers of Key Stage 2 to our Coffee Morning on Friday 17th October 2025. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect, share experiences, and learn more about the support available for families in our community.
Last week, in Year 4, our young scientists explored the topic of renewable and non-renewable energy sources through hands-on investigations. Working in groups, pupils designed and built windmills, wind-powered cars, water wheels, and even solar ovens to demonstrate how wind, water, and sunlight can be used to generate energy. They had an exciting time testing their creations and seeing these energy sources in action. It was a fantastic way to
bring science to life and inspire curiosity about how we can power our world sustainably..
Year 6 have been investigating refraction, the way light bends when it passes from one material into another. Using a sheet of paper with an arrow drawn on it and a glass of water, the pupils were amazed to see the arrow appear to flip direction when viewed through the glass. The experiment helped pupils see how light changes direction as it travels through water and glass, creating surprising optical effects. The pupils enjoyed predicting what they thought would happen, testing it out, and then discussing the science behind the illusion.
Last week, the Reception children stayed for lunch for the first time! The children were enthusiastic and really enjoyed this experience. They couldn’t stop talking to each other about what they were eating! On the second day, a few children realised the importance of eating first and talking after. We are encouraging the children to concentrate on eating their food but as lunchtime is a social occasion, they are still learning how to get the balance right.
Friday 12th September was celebrated as Roald Dahl Day in school. We joined the global celebration by honouring Roald Dahl and his beloved characters and stories in school. The highlight of the day was the children dressing up as their favourite Roald Dahl characters. Well done to all the children who participated and enjoyed reading a variety of popular Roald Dahl stories.
All the new Reception children thoroughly enjoyed their first week of Primary School. They were excited to meet their teachers and eagerly took part in lots of fun learning activities. Playtime proved to be great fun as they played games and made friends!
On Monday 7th to Friday 11th July, some of the Year 6 children visited the Gordon Brown Centre for their residential trip and they were fortunate enough to have perfect summertime weather! The children took part in various outdoor activities including the GBC Megabowl, Roman Gladiator Training Camp and the Trim Trail.
Our Nursery trip to Ruislip Lido last week was a big hit! The children had a fantastic time riding the little train, enjoying the beautiful scenery, playing on the beach and having fun on the swings. Smiles all around for a day full of adventure and laughter!
On Thursday 26th June, Pupils from Year 3 to 6 took part in DHLTACS road safety programme run by the DHL UK Foundation . The pupils enjoyed the live truck demonstrations and an interactive session with the DHL team members to alert the dangers of large vehicles. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed taking part and asked lots of very interesting questions about the size and weight of trucks, blind spots, and the difficulty drivers may have in hearing
pedestrians, even when they shout!
On Friday 20th June we held our Summer Fair and what a fair it was! We were so fortunate to have such beautiful weather which allowed our school community to come together and enjoy everything the fair had to offer. The children got stuck in with the arts and crafts stalls, some children had glitter tattoos and face paint. They enjoyed themselves on the bouncy castle and other outdoor games making sure they later rehydrated themselves with plenty of juice and ice lollies! We were also pleased to see how popular our candy floss stall was! We would like to thank all the children, staff and parents who helped to run the fair and dedicated their time to ensuring everyone had a wonderful experience. Thank you to everyone who came support the fair, as without the support of the local community, it wouldn’t have been the roaring success that it was!
On Friday 13th June, the Year 3 and 4 pupils took part in their much-anticipated Sports Day. The pupils were all excited and eager to take part in the number of activities planned for the day, ranging from the egg and spoon race, penalty shoot-out, an obstacle course and various track events. All the children worked collectively in their tube stations, embodying competitive spirit and skill as well as exemplifying good sportsmanship on the field in celebrating their teammates’ achievements. Thank you to the Rosedale College Physical Education (PE) Alliance for putting on such a well-organised and varied morning for the children.
