Weekly update - WB 04.09.24

Welcome back to a new school year! Rowan class have certainly hit the ground running with their lessons. In Maths they have begun learning about place value of numbers, as well as completing a Mathswhizz assessment to calibrate the challenge of their homework this year.

In English, we have begun a unit of work on the building blocks of Grammar and punctuation by looking at word classes. We have also begun writing persuasive letters to Mrs Whiting, to apply for the roles of responsibility available to Rowan class.

In PE we began a unit of invasion games with tag rugby. The children practised their passing skills with a partner, and developed their ability to move into space and avoid being tagged.

We kicked off our topic learning about WW1 and WW2 by discussing the children’s previous knowledge of the subject. The children made evacuee boxes to keep their things in during the topic. We also created a pretend air raid shelter and took cover during the air raid siren. To keep our spirits up, we sang along to ‘We’ll meet again’ and sampled some old-fashioned sweets.
