  • Year 6 talk to top author Sharna Jackson.

    Published 14/10/21

    ​Year 6 children at Ranelagh were incredibly excited to take part in a live zoom Q&A session with Sharna Jackson, the author of their current reading book 'High-Rise Mystery' as part of Newham's Black History Month events. The children are about to begin writing their own mystery stories inspired by the story so were fascinated to hear about the author's writing process as well as pick up some brilliant tips about writing the murder mystery genre. 

    Many children asked questions throughout the session. Arian in 6T5 asked if Sharna ever had second thoughts or doubted herself before the release of her first book and received an extremely insightful response from her. 

    "I was excited when my question was chosen and really liked what Sharna said about believing in ourselves and not letting second thoughts and doubts stop us from taking opportunities."​

  • Sports Day

    Published 20/07/21

    Each Year, the children and adults don their House colours and show their competitive spirit and their sense of fairplay at Ranelagh's Sports Day — postponed last year, Ranelagh had to have 3 Sports Days this year to keep in line with government guidelines. 

    Children had a magnificent time and there was a real sense that things may be getting back to 'usual'. 

    The traditional egg and spoon race (badminton racquet and foam ball !), javelin, hurdles were amongst some of the sports day activities. Points were given for winning(obviously) and for fair play. Competing is a real chance to develop resilient strategies — because not everyone can be a winner.

    'It was wonderful children taking in a deep breath and painting a smile on their face when they lost, '  said Miss Welburn.

    A huge thank you to Miss Tessier and Mr Jordan for organising this successful event. They will be announcing the winners in our final assembly of the year.
