Term 1 - Week 7 - Last day of term 1.

🎉 Hello from Rowan Class! 🎉
One last week of learning before a well-deserved week off — and wow, what a week it’s been! 😄
📖 English Fun
We wrapped up our Hot Writes ✍️ by focusing in on a key moment from Kensuke’s Kingdom. Everyone worked so hard and used everything they’ve learnt this term — amazing effort! 💪
We also watched the film version 🎬 and had great chats about the differences. So many changes… and lots of opinions good and bad!
 Maths Magic
• Year 5 explored prime, squared and cubed numbers.
• Year 6 tackled mental maths strategies and smashed their end-of-topic assessments! 🧠✅
🔬 Science Stuff
We ended our topic by learning about famous naturalists like Steve Irwin, Jane Goodall, and David Attenborough 🐒🌿 — very inspiring!
🗺️ Geography Explorers
We became map detectives using 4- and 6-digit grid references and learnt why map keys are super useful! 🕵️‍♀️🗺️
🍲 DT = Delicious Time!
We made Chaupa, a traditional Cape Verde stew — and guess what? Everyone tried it and loved it! 👨‍🍳👏
💬 PSHE Chat
We talked about being kind, respectful friends 💛 — such important life skills!
🏅 Golden Book Stars
⭐ Ansuma – always resilient and producing top-quality work!
 Leen – settling in beautifully and showing great determination!
⚽🏀 PE Power
We finished with team games and a big basketball match — loads of teamwork and fun! 🏀🎉
📢 Reminders
• Stud earrings only please!
• PE kit check ✔️
• No chewing gum, please!
Lastly, 
Last weekend, Anthony and his Dad complete a walking Marathon for The Palace for Life Foundation. His dad walked 26.2 miles and Anthony walked 13 - well done to them for completing the marathon match! See the pictures below.
