This term, Roman 2 have absolutely loved the farm. They have engaged well with all the animals, using kind and gentle hands. Each visit, the pupils have been gaining more and more confidence and caring for the animals. We cannot wait for them to come back next term.
Rowan 1 are loving Outdoor learning sessions.
The children have been exploring different plants and textures.
They have also been pretending to be Pirates and find treasure! We have also been climbing and balancing.
In Literacy Elm 1 enjoyed mark making. They made Halloween pictures adding text to their illustrations. Well done Elm 1 super work.
This week the children in Ash 1 have listened to the story Room on the Broom. They have made Halloween decorations and coloured in the Halloween competition pictures!
The Early Years pupils have enjoyed some lovely activities based on ‘The Dingle Dangle Scarecrow’ song/poem for National Poetry Day. They made a scarecrow and danced like the Dingle Dangle Scarecrow.
The children also listened to harvest songs and picked carrots and potatoes.
On Tuesday 12th October members of the Rowan Tree School Council met with two members of the Local Council as part of the Big Listening Festival.
School Council members give their ideas and opinions on Wigan Council. They answered questions relating to the environment, safety, and school plus give their opinion on how Wigan could be a better place.
Thank you so much for meeting us today at school. It was lovely to talk to you all and to hear what you enjoy and what you would like to do when you are older. It was so nice to hear about how you look after the environment and how you help your friends when they are sad. You should be very proud of yourselves for telling us about the things which are important to you.
– Wendy Froggatt, Wigan Council
This year Rowan Tree has started an exciting Literacy project. Each half term we will have a whole day devoted to a different author. This half term’s author day was focused on the authors Janet and Allan Ahlberg. The children looked at some of their stories, had fun with themed activities and produced some fantastic writing.
