For Safer Internet Day, Rowan’s listened to the story of ‘Hanni and the Magic Window’. The children then coloured their own window and created a Rowans class house to remind us of the things we like to do at school.
.
This week the children have explored the story of The Gingerbread Man. In cookery we had to pour, stir and cut the mixture to make gingerbread men, they were delicious! We also had lots of fun building bridges to help the gingerbread man cross the river. In phonics the children have been learning the new sound of ‘r’, they have practiced forming this letter and blending CVC.
This week the children have explored the story of Rosie’s Hat. The children created a story map and used colour semantics to describe what was happening in the pictures. In phonics the children have been learning the new sound of ‘u’. In maths some of the children have been completing number bond activities to 10, 2d shapes and ABC patterns. As part of history the children planned activities for an afternoon using time, such as ‘first’, ‘then’ and ‘next’. Then on the next day they looked back at what activities they had planned on the afternoon and used the vocabulary of ‘yesterday’. As part of science the children have been identifying eyes and noses and there functions.
This week we have been focusing on the story of the The Three Little Pigs. The children loved joining in with this story! We have sequenced the story by creating a story map. We also have used colourful semantics to describe what is happening in the story. In art we created a collage to represent the three houses and identified each material. We also identified the shapes needed to create the houses. We had lots of fun following instructions to build our own houses using duplo blocks and stickle bricks.
Well done Rowans, a super duper week.
This week in Rowan’s class we started our new topic of Long Ago. This week we have been focusing on the story of the Tiger Who Came to Tea. In phonics we learnt a new sound +k, practiced writing the sound and practiced spelling and writing words with our new sound.
In history we explored the topic of Long Ago and watched a video learning about things that have happened in the past. We then looked at photos of what we had completed the previous day.
In science we have started learning about our bodies and we were able to label parts of the body on a diagram. We also explored the changes in the natural world including the seasons. We listened to the story of One Year with Kipper and then matched pictures to the correct season.
This week the children had their Christmas performance which was a called a Wriggly Nativity. Well done to all the children who took part in the performance, they were super duper! And a special shout out to Rowans, you were little superstars and we are so proud of you!!!

This week in Rowans class we have been learning our new sound +m. We have practiced spelling words from the sounds that we have learnt. We have worked hard with forming letters.
As it was anti-bullying week the children have been thinking about being a kind friend. As part of the week the children wore odd socks and created their own socks on purple mash. They have also been thinking about who they can talk to if they need help.
As part of moving machines the children have investigated how far vehicles will travel down a ramp. We made predictions and marked how far the vehicles travelled. As part of R.E we have moulded Diya lamps using clay. We have produced excellent pieces of work!
