Rowan are continuing to flourish as they learn the rules and moves to play tag rugby. We are looking forward to the next tag rugby tournament. I think we have some future professional players coming through. 😄🏉

Forces
Rowan discussed forces and measured the weight and mass of an array of objects using a forcement. This measures objects in Newton’s ( measuring gravity). Here are some photos of us in action!
World Book Day
Rowan are deep in concentration as they watch the live lesson on the board (hosted by the BBC). The children were treated to some special story telling by the famous authors Malorie Blackman, Rob Biddulph and Cressida Cowell. What a wonderful opportunity, 📖📝😁
Tag Rugby
Rowan class have been perfecting their rugby skills. They need to remember to pass back rather than forward passing. Here are some photos of Rowan in action 😄🏈
Problem solving and teamwork
Rowan class participated in a range of games, which required them to work as a team (collaborate with each other) and to solve problems, which arise, effectively.
Year 5 Affinity Water Workshop
Rowan and Pine participated in a variety of water saving activities today, which were organised by Jo from Affinity Water. They played Eco Action games, compiled a water audit around school and took part in a water supply challenge task. Great fun was had by all and the children learnt a great deal. 🌏👣👀💧🌊

Collaboration
Rowan class had to work as a team to make 21 in their group. The only person who could communicate was the counter. The children enjoyed working as a team and learnt the value of compromise and patience.
Building circuits
Rowan class worked in groups to build circuits. Then they tested a range of materials to discover, which ones were good conductors of electricity. 
Making Driedels
Rowan class have been learning about advent and Hanukkah this afternoon. We have been looking at why Christians celebrate Christmas and why Jewish people celebrate Hanukkah. WE talked about traditional games played during each of theses festivals.
Future mug designers
Rowan have finally finished off their amazing mugs this week. They have worked hard this term to design a piece of pottery in the style of Emma Bridgewater. Here are some photos of us in action!
