Term 5

We have had such a busy term in Rowan class! Our topic this term is ‘Does it always rain in the forest?’

In Art we have been finding out about the work of French artist, Henri Rousseau. We learnt how to mix hundreds of different greens, how to draw tropical leaves and vicious -looking tigers! We put all of these skills together to create our own works of art in the style of Rousseau. I think you will agree that they are very impressive.

In English we have been playwriting based on the book ‘The Great Kapok Tree’. The children enjoyed making masks and acting out their own scripts to the class.

In maths, we have learnt about money. We can recognise all the coins and notes and have learnt to add and subtract money. As we have had some lovely weather, we have been able to practise giving change out on the field.

A highlight of the term was our trip to Wingham Wildlife Park. We had a fantastic day and the children were amazing. We had the chance to look at and sketch many animals which can also be found in South America.
