Welcome to Rowan Tree Primary School’s Learning Every Moment Blog! Here you’ll see a brief insight into all the learning and fun that we have here at Rowan Tree Primary School.

Digital Art in Rowan 2
Rowan 2 has been using Purple Mash online to create some beautiful pieces of art based on Mondrian. They explored a variety of pictures of shapes and used their preferred method of communication to state what they could see in the art. They then got the chance to create their own using 2paintapicture. Pupils used their early writing skills to create both horizontal and vertical lines. They really enjoyed using technology to support their learning.
An Inspector Calls on Maple 2
Maple 2 and WIllow 2 received a visit from PC Simon and PCSO Maria this week. Our visitors talked to the pupils about rules and what our school, and community would be like without them. We soon came to realise how difficult and unpleasant our world might become without any boundaries. The pupils learnt how important rules are to keep everyone safe. PC Simon set the pupils a challenge to write down one rule golden rule they are trying hard to abide by and they will share it with them on their next visit. Thank you for coming and spending so much time answering all the questions.
Family Learning with Fir 2
This week Fir 2 had some special visitors. Some of our parents came to visit. The children enjoyed sensory play, dressing up in the immersive learning room and reading. Chloe took to the mic and sang a song for her family too. It was a lovely morning. Well done Fir 2.
Wedding bells are chiming in Pine 2!
In Religious Education we are learning about what happens at a wedding. Pine 2 enjoyed looking at pictures of wedding and saw lots of pretty dresses and suits, they loved them so much that they decided to make their very own before hosting a wedding ceremony, it was great fun!
Fantastic Dancing with the Birches
This half term the Birches have had a dance teacher in to teach them some simple dance moves. Over the weeks, they have shown massive progress and have begun to replicate dance moves and interact with the dance equipment for a short time. They have had a great time with her!
Elves and Fairies in Ash 1
This Monday morning, Ash 1 were super excited to receive a special gift from the Elves and Fairies we have been helping adjacent to our KS1 Outdoor Learning Topic.
The children enjoyed exploring the role play items created from natural objects they themselves collected last term.
Mental Health Awareness Week
This week pupils and staff at Rowan Tree Primary School have enjoyed a range of activities in relation to Mental Health Awareness Week. This years official theme has been ‘Loneliness’ and, across the week, we have been building meaningful connections with our friends and colleagues.
Staff have had opportunities to take part in group walks, exercise classes and gift giving schemes. Pupils have enjoyed an inclusive whole school cinema day, championing Literacy skills by reading to their younger school members, learning outside together and working as a team to spread positivity wherever they can.
Charlie’s first working visit!
Charlie our registered PAT dog came in for his first official session with the children today. All of the children loved spending time with him, he was very calm and loving towards the children. Charlie will be coming in every week to work with Ash 1 and Birch 2. They will enjoy talking to him, petting him, and reading with him.

Going for gold in Willow 2
This term in Physical Education, Willow 2 are having lots of fun learning all about Athletics ‘Going for gold’. This week they have focused on javelin. All the children enjoyed this activity, with George going as far to say “This was my favourite lesson this week!”.
Oak 2 Haigh High Ropes Adventure
Some of Oak 2 visited Haigh Hall to take on the high ropes course for the first time! All of the group listened to the instructors’ instructions and put on their harnesses and helmets. Some of the children and staff were very brave and conquered the course, some even did it twice!
Oak 2 are looking forward to the next high ropes session.
