Rowan Class 2025/2026 - Mrs Dykes and Mrs Houghton.

Welcome to Rowan Class - this year will be taught by Mrs Dykes and Mrs Houghton. We are really excited to welcome your child into our class and we will have many exciting things planned throughout the year.
 

This year , Year 5 will be going swimming on Friday afternoons - children will be informed via letter and Dojo which group they will be in. To ensure that all children meet the National Curriculum standards at the end of Year 6, we assess the children at the start of the year and then tailor our groups to ensure all children have access to appropriate lessons. Throughout the year, children will also take part in essential life saving lessons. Children are expected to attend all swimming lessons when required, this is not an optional part of the curriculum and we know that our children do enjoy our swimming lessons at Park Pool.

In addition, we will also be doing Bikeability sessions in the Autumn Term. Children will initially develop their cycling skills on the playground, then, after passing Stage 1, they will move onto practice on the local roads. This is a fabulous opportunity to build cycling skills so please can you check your child's bike over the next few weeks as well as practice with them.

Our topics for Autumn Term - 1st Half term is:

Geography - Volcanoes

Science - Forces

Art - Ruth Daniels - Rainforest Art

PSHE - Families and relationships

We look forward to seeing you all at our Meet The Teacher session, where you can find out more about Rowan and the activities planned.
