This week in Rowans class we have been reading and sequencing the story of Dear Zoo. In phonics and maths we have completed lots of tasks. In science our topic is animals and we had to identify and sort farmyard animals. In art we identified animals and the colours needed to create animal prints using foam rollers.

This week the children have completed lots of Maths and English jobs. In History we have looked at the history of the school and what schools were like in the Victorian era. In DT we have been looking at where food comes from and could sort foods into plants and animals. In RE we looked at different types of families and how we are all part of the ‘Holly’ family.
The children in Rowans class have completed a range of Easter activities. The children created Easter egg cards their for parents using finger prints. For the smelly egg competition the children decorated an egg each to create The Very Hungry Caterpillar. In aft we used masking tape and chalks to create patterns to decorate our own Easter egg. We also used paint dabbers to mix colours to create a colourful outline of an Easter bunny. Finally, in phonics we enjoyed a Easter sound hunt collecting the eggs.
For Autism Acceptance week each year group was given a colour and the task of decorating a butterfly using a range of techniques. During integration each child from Rowans and Acorns decorated their butterfly red. The butterflies are going to be used to create a whole school rainbow display to celebrate that everyone is unique.
This week the children have been reading the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The children were amazing at sequencing and retelling the story using props. In art the children used hand and finger prints to create a caterpillar.
The focus for the Maths lesson was on money to show how Maths can be used in the real world. The children had to count the amount of 1p coins needed to buy toys. The children also had to sort money into two groups. For Maths in Art we created art in the style of Paul Klee. The children selected 2d shapes to create a city skyline.
For Red Nose Day the children selected their favourite Mr Men or Little Miss characters and dressed up or wore the same colour as the character. We also completed colouring tasks and listen to some of the Mr Men and Little Miss stories.
For British Science Week the children had to identify the faces of the animals. The children then had to the match the halves of the faces.
