Our Class News

Friday 12th September

The children have made a brilliant start to the year.

Thank you, Rowan Class, for the effort, engagement and respect you have shown in your learning and towards each other. The compassion and friendship demonstrated has helped make our new start a happy one. 

We have been very excited about our new class topic – Movers and Shakers. This topic connects our History, Geography and English learning. We are excited about our forthcoming Mary Seacole and Isambard Kingdom Brunel workshop that will bring all our learning together.

In Reading, we are enjoying 'Coming to England.' The children have learnt about the life of Floella and her memories of Trinidad.

We have also taken our learning outdoors and enjoyed forest school, exploring microhabitats and identifying insects. We learnt what a habitat provides and classified living and non-living things.
