Some children in Maple 2 were chosen to sing some songs at St Phillips church. They performed beautifully for a lovely small crowd. Afterwards Reverend Tracey told Maple 2 a story about God and then taught them how to say, “Thank you God”.This term Pine 2 have been working hard on their measuring skills. They have been using measuring equipment, comparing size, and using measuring terminology. Great job Pine 2!
The Birches have been learning all about how to make and use different vehicles in their DT/Science lessons. This week they have been designing paper helicopters. They decorated, folded and cut them and then explored what happens when they threw them through the air.
Learners in Poplar 1 have had a busy few days visiting the World Book Day Library and engaging in a variety of Sensory Stories. Pupils have had lots of fun exploring a range of interactive reading materials within class.
This half term, the pupils have been exploring Characters and Settings so to start us off, we chose a class favourite, Zog. The pupils took part in a Talk for Writing session where they learnt a 5 sentence story following pictures and actions. The children added an action for full stops to support the introduction of punctuation.
Early Learners have really enjoyed visiting the soft play centre at Howe Bridge this half term. This has not only been great fun but has helped them to develop their skills in PSHE, Physical development and Communication.
A selection of pupils from our Sing and Sign Choir visited St Phillip’s Church to perform a selection of songs in relation to the service being delivered by Rev’d Tracy Marshall. Learners loved interacting with local members of their community and having the opportunity to explore places of worship in relation to our present R.E. topics.
Last week we had tonnes of fun for World Book Day. Our shared spaces in school were transformed into immersive and interactive experiences themed on famous stories. The messy playroom was all about the Hungry Caterpillar with a fun with food messy element and a matching picture activity in coloured rice. The sensory studio became Bear Hunt with a sensory story for the children to engage with. The immersive learning room became a role play area for dressing up as our favourite literary characters. The hall became a relaxing library cafe with juice, biscuits and a chance to kick back and look at our favourite books. As well as this Gangsta Granny was on the prowl doing some role-play and drama sessions in classes. The children had a lot of fun and developed their love for reading.
Today Rowan Tree Primary enjoyed celebrating St David’s day. Some of the children made dragons, whilst others painted daffodils and coloured Welsh flags. We made Welsh cakes and all enjoyed eating them too. Each class enjoyed a party to celebrate St David’s Day. Each class also decorated their classroom door with the arts and crafts they had made that day. Happy St David’s Day to you all. Well done everyone!
