Rowan Class
Welcome
Welcome to Rowan Class. We are currently made up of 22 wonderful children in Year Five and Year Six. In Class, Mrs Holgate and Mr Knaggs are our current Class Teachers and we are joined by Mrs Carr and Mrs Bennell who are our amazing ETA's. On a Friday afternoon we are also joined by Mr Ruston who teaches us PE.
Please remember, if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to ask. Feel free to catch us on the door, e-mail via the school office or arrange a telephone call. We are always more than happy to help!
Learning
Within Rowan Class we enjoy a broad and balanced curriculum and learn through a wide range of different exciting activities. We are encouraged to develop resilience and to become independent learners. Our class members enjoy taking on a variety of different roles and responsibilities around school, from carrying out jobs like assembly attendants to being buddies to our youngest children. To see the topics we will be learning this term please see our Autumn newsletter below.
