Pine 2 visit St Phillip’s Church
Pine 2 have been to a Church Service at St Philip’s Church. Rev Tracy re-told the Christmas story using lots of props and the children enjoyed joining in with various Christmas songs they even took along musical instruments to share with other members of the congregation.
Guitar Lessons at Rowan Tree Primary School
Each week, we have the pleasure of welcoming Barry, a guitar teacher from Wigan Music Service. Barry comes into school each Wednesday morning to play some music with some of our Key Stage 2 classes.
This term the children have been focusing on using their right-hand fingers to play the open strings E, B, and G. The children really enjoy playing together with this ‘warm up backing track’.
We look forward to sharing more clips of the music we create with you in the future.
Raising money for ‘Autism Together’
On Wednesday 1st December, after school, staff took part in a sponsored run/walk to raise money for a cause and person close to our hearts. Together we raised approximately £400 for the charity ‘Autism Together’. Autism Together is one of the country’s leading providers of services and support to people with autism and their families.
Thank you everyone for taking part and braving the cold. – Hannah Leddy, Class Teacher & Event Organiser

Maple 2 – a force to be reckoned with!
Fir 2 are feelin’ the force
This week Fir 2 have been experimenting with toy cars and a ramp to see what will happen to them when we let them go from different heights. They used their PECS books to select the cars they wanted to use and to describe what was happening to the cars. They discovered that the cars would move faster when let go from the top. Sometimes the cars even flew off the table! Great work Fir 2.
What’s the time Mr. Wolf? Pine 2
What’s the time Mr. Wolf? Pine 2 have been learning about time in maths this term.
We’ve been focusing on the big hand being at 12 to make o’clock. We took turns being the wolf and making up times for our friends to count and step forward before we chased them for dinner time.
