Rowan Class Summer 1

Debbie Bagwell (speel) on: Rowan Class

As the sunny days have continued to roll in, our classroom has been buzzing with excitement, creativity, and plenty of curious minds at work. Here’s a peek into what we’ve been up to lately:

Our English lessons have taken a playful turn as we explored creative writing through sensory storytelling. Using The Day the Crayons Quit, The Little Seed and persuasive posters as our inspiration, the children explored creative writing and persuasion in a hands‑on, imaginative way. They used Colourful Semantics to build descriptive sentences about the characters and the events in each story, helping them develop clearer, more confident storytelling skills

In maths, we’ve been learning all about measurement, number, shape and fractions. The children have been using real objects, movement and visual supports to help them understand new concepts and build their confidence. It’s been a brilliant way to make maths meaningful, engaging and fun for everyone.

Our budding artists have been creating art from fruits and vegetables in the style of Arcimboldo. We have really enjoyed printing faces out of fruit and vegetables and even adding fruit and vegetables to pictures of our own faces.

In Science, we explored different animals and their adaptations to their habitats. The children watched videos of different animals around the world and how they are suited to where they live. We then became fossil hunters, looking at different fossils and what they are as well as making our own from salt dough.

In history, we have looked at sensory stories on now and then. We have looked at different images of how Bamber Bridge has changed as well as using different artefacts from the year and comparing them to what we use now.

It’s been a term full of imagination, exploration, and discovery. The children have truly embraced every subject with enthusiasm. To keep everyone moving and grooving, our pupils continued with their weekly CE, Sensory PE, Hydrotherapy, and PE sessions.

We hope you have enjoyed our blog post and pictures!
