Please follow us next week whilst we are at Bengrigg.  I will post regularly during our visit.

Mr Oakes

Animation is so much fun! Daisy, our head digital leader, loves to make stop motion animations, so we organised a stop motion animation workshop for other children to come and learn too.  Daisy even taught Mrs Williams how to create an animation so she can use it with her class.

Watch our fabulous leaders in action!

A group of our children have been chosen for the new pupil role of Digital Leader in school. The job of a digital leader is to share their excellent ICT skills to support other children and staff in school.

We are happy to welcome all our children back to school this week and we are all ready and raring to go for some super learning this year. Our staff at school have lots of exciting things planned for the new school year so watch this space.

Our latest production ‘We All Went on Safari’ is based on the book by Laurie Krebs and Julia Cairns. We’ve used lots of different techniques to produce the film; The children have worked extremely hard creating and performing with puppets, stop motion animation, acting and signing. George showed off his excellent reading skills for the narration and CJ did a great job of reading the numbers in Swahili. A big well done to all the children who were involved, you should all be very proud of yourselves. We hope you enjoy our film.

This week is a very exciting week at Rowan Tree as a group of our children head to the beautiful Lake District setting of Lowbank Ground on the shores of Coniston Water for a week of adventure, challenge and fun. We’ll be posting a video here when they return of all their antics so watch this space!

Here’s the lovely video from our Signalong Christmas performance from Early years and KS1. During the performance the children used symbols, signs and singing to celebrate al the wonderful things about Christmas time.
