Every Autumn term, children at Ranelagh Primary School become young changemakers, developing their geographical knowledge and global awareness through our Global Action Projects. Across the school, children learned that their voices matter and that they can take action to tackle global challenges  because tomorrow truly matters!

🐢 EYFS – Saving the Turtles-Our youngest learners explored how small actions can make a big difference. They designed posters with important messages and created turtle ornaments to sell in support of the charity Save the Turtle. 

🐻 Key Stage 1 – Protecting Polar Bears KS1 children became passionate campaigners for polar bears, learning about how climate change threatens the Arctic and sold polar bear cakes to support Polar Bears International.

🌳 Year 3 – Defending the Rainforest Year 3 pupils supported the Rainforest Alliance after learning about the impact of deforestation. They created rainmakers using recycled and natural materials to remind the community that even small steps can make a big difference.

This week, our school took part in Children in Need to help support children across the UK. The children enjoyed learning about kindness and how small acts can make a big difference.

Everyone came to school in non-uniform to celebrate the day and show their support. It was wonderful to see so many bright and spotty outfits around the school!

Thank you to all our families for your generous donations and for helping us make a positive difference.

On Tuesday 11th at the 11th hour, Ranelagh came together to remember those who sacrificed so much so that we can live in a society which is more tolerant and empathetic.

Year 6 led a moving assembly around Armistice Day culminating in a 2 minute silence to show their respect and gratitude towards those who lost their lives.

The School Council’s hot chocolate morning was a steaming success and a wonderful way for our new council team to kick off their very first project together. The chilly weather made it the perfect day for a warm, comforting treat.
It was brilliant to see so many families wrapping their hands around a cup of hot chocolate and sharing a cosy moment together. One pupil summed it up beautifully: “I love this because we get to enjoy a delicious drink with our family and friends and help support the School Council’s project.”

  
A huge thank you to all parents and carers who came along, braved the chilly morning and supported the School Council’s hard work. They are already buzzing with ideas, we can’t wait for their next project!

This term, the Ranelagh Gardening Club has been buzzing with energy as our young gardeners rolled up their sleeves and got to work transforming our outdoor space. The children have shown responsibility, teamwork, and a passion for nature while taking care of the school garden.

The club has been busy creating homemade compost, learning how to recycle natural materials to help enrich the soil. They have also planted a variety of vegetables, including garlic, radishes, carrots, and sweetcorn, as well as spring bulbs that we are excited to see bloom next term

Our gardeners have worked hard to keep the beds tidy, watering plants, clearing soil that had been scattered, and collecting fallen leaves to use in composting. Their dedication has helped keep our garden thriving through the changing seasons.

A special mention goes to Afeefah in Year 6, who has taken on a fantastic leadership role within the group. She has supported younger children, guided them with planting and garden care, and has been an invaluable help throughout the term. We are incredibly proud of her commitment and maturity.

The Ranelagh Gardening Club continues to be a wonderful space where children learn the importance of caring for the environment, growing their own food, and working as a community. We look forward to watching both the garden—and our young gardeners—continue to grow!
