Term 2, Week 3

What a cold week it has been! However, it has been amazing to meet our children’s adults this week and speak about all of the great learning happening in Rowan Class.

In English this week, we have looked at figurative language and how this is used in our poem ‘The Highwayman’. The children have enjoyed describing the main character and producing art work based on the poem.

In maths, Year 5 have continued to look at fractions. We have looked at adding and subtracting, comparing and ordering fractions under and over one whole. Year 6 has also been looking at fractions. They have been looking at dividing fractions and answering questions involving fractions.

In DT this week, the children began to design their bridges ready to input these in to our CAD software. This will mean that the children can see their designs in 3D and we can use augmented reality to see their bridges in the real world.

In science, we have continued to look at classifying animals and learning to give reasons to decisions made.

In Geography, we continue to look at rivers (mostly the River Medway). We compared the River Medway from the past to today. The children enjoyed seeing how the river has changed over time.

In RE, we have been looking at values that Christians live by and why they are important to Christians. In PSHE, we looked at relaxation and different ways to relax. The children have enjoyed the breathing exercises and we are now using these every day. In PE, we continue with fitness and tag rugby.

A great week Rowan Class!
