Y3/4 Rowan - Mrs Peacock
Hello Rowan Class
It only seems like last week that we were saying goodbye to each other and wishing everyone a happy summer holiday. Time flies when you have fun!
One thing to get used to is that our class is now called Rowan. Can you identify what a rowan tree looks like? I had to do some research myself but luckily there are quite a few rowan trees in the playgrounds for us to look at.
Just a couple of reminders - our PE days will be indoor PE on Tuesdays and outdoor PE on Wednesdays. Remember that you come into school on those days in your PE kits. If the weather is a little chilly, you can come in wearing your joggers on your Indoor PE days. Please remember that you will need to take earrings out for PE lessons, so if you can't do this yourself, you will need to take them out before you come to school. However, there will be no PE lessons until w.c 13th September.
I'm really looking forward to seeing you all and to working with you this term.

What an exciting first week we have had! We have played lots of social skills games, building on our 5 Ways to Well-being focus. I have never seen such enthusiastic parachute-shaking before! We have also produced some beautiful collaborative artwork (pictures to follow) and finished the week with a range of interactive maths and spelling games. Hopefully, we will all have a restful weekend.
