Rowan

Welcome to Rowan Class!

We have 23 pupils in our year 5 class.

Mrs Wilson is our teacher and our teaching assistants are Mrs Sirett and Mrs Anderson.

We also work with Mr Pedlar who teaches PE on Thursdays and Fridays.

Spring Term 2024

This term, our topic is the Mediterranean. We will use thematic maps to find out about the physical and human features of the Mediterranean and think about how these are related and how they
compare to the features of our region.

PE in Rowan Class

Our PE days for this term are Thursday and Friday. On Thursdays we work with Commando Joe. Please ensure your child comes to school on these days wearing the correct PE kit.

What do you need for school?

You will need:

- Your PE Kit (team coloured T-shirt, shorts and trainers, plus track suit type trousers and top during the winter months). This term children will wear their PE kits to school on PE days. This will be on Tuesdays and Fridays.

To know if you are having school dinner or a packed lunch and what your after-school arrangements are (going home on the bus, going to Puffins, going to a club, being picked up or walking home on your own).

Your reading book, reading record and any completed homework.

A drinking bottle of fresh WATER.

A fresh fruit snack for break time.

A coat or waterproof jacket - we work and play outside in all weathers!

Outdoor shoes and a change of clothes for the school field in winter.

A warm hat and gloves in cold weather.

A sun hat during in hot weather.

All stationery is provided so you do not need a pencil case.

Feedback to improve our learning

In Rowan Class, We all have been involved in a dialogue about the high expectations we have of all pupils. Effective feedback involves a dialogue between to identify what has been done well and the next steps to learning. Pupils are regularly given verbal feedback about their work and areas to work on. Where appropriate, we use pink highlighting to identify where we are 'Tickled Pink' that the Success Criteria (expectations set out at the start of the lesson) have been achieved. Green highlighting identifies a next step (Green for Growth). Children are also encouraged to self-edit and correct or improve something using their purple polish pen. For more information, please do ask your child, read our policy or speak to us directly.
