We have all settled well into Rowan class. It is lovely to see some new faces and some friendships continue to develop.

We have got right back into our new year and are busy bees straight away!

In History we have been finding out what chronology means. This has been linked to our English Story the Stone Age Boy. We have been learning about how they made their very own tools out of materials around them. Of course Maple wanted to have a try of making our very own. We began by going on an adventure around the school grounds to look for our perfect flat stones and sticks.

Once we had found them we went back into the classroom and used wool only to tie our flat stones onto our stick. This was a lot more difficult than we thought!

  The concentration is real!! Our lovely Rowan pupils worked very hard on these! The hard work payed off! Look at our amazing final products.

 

 

 

In science we have been learning the words ‘waterproof’ and ‘absorbent.’ We carried out an experiment to see what materials are waterproof and which ones absorbed the water.

We found out the clay and the wood absorbed a bit of water.

Pupils in Year 8 have been learning about the Renaissance in history this term and how these new ideas and beliefs were linked to the Roman and Greek civilisations. One of pupils embraced these new ideas by coming into school today dressed as a Roman centurion. Pretty scary stuff!

 

 

 

 

Good Evening Everyone

Please find attached an information letter from school

Even though the weather was a little rubbish it was not stopping us from doing our sports day. We still had a great sports day inside our Sports Hall.

There were 6 different stations and music playing. It was a great atmosphere.

It was so much fun.

We had javelin, hurdles, long jump, throwing and even more.

Maple class always love and enjoy sports day.

What a year it has been, we have honestly loved ever single second and watching your wonderful children grow and succeed, everyday has been our pleasure. We know what ever class they are going into next year they will glow so bright and continue to amaze us or their new staff.

We always love rewards day as it is so lovely seeing the children have the best day and watching their faces light up after they have worked so hard.

We had a lovely walk around the market to see all the brilliant things that had been made and for sale. However the children had the best time on the inflatables. They’re big smiles going down the slide were so amazing to see.

On the afternoon we went to the sports hall where there were even more fun things to do! There was a ball bit, a bouncy castle and a slide!

The best part was Maple had it all to ourselves!!

As you can see the children had an absolute blast!!

However I do think Miss Garrity and Miss Birbeck has more fun!

 

Thankyou for bringing these wonderful children into our lives, it has been the best year.

Today some of our parents/careers came into school to see our Year 6 books for their end of year treat. The children and adults enjoyed some pizza, cookies and juice. We also had a special treat from Mrs Howard and had some Pea Pods from the garden. Thank you all for coming!
