Avast me hearties!!

We are all very excited because next Tuesday we are going to Underwater Street in Liverpool to explore lots of pirate activities!

We are going to take a packed lunch with us wrapped inside a named carrier bag so we don't have to carry a lunch box around with us. Please do not bring a drink in a glass bottle  - a carton will do nicely! 

We have learnt that pirates ate bone soup with hard sea biscuits dipped in it! The pirates from St. Peter's would prefer sandwiches!!

As we break up next Thursday for our half term holiday, our spelling test will be on Thursday!!

Look out for a new blog next week with lots of photographs of our adventure at Underwater Street!

If you don't you might have to WALK THE PLANK!!

January 2017

It doesn't seem five minutes since we started back at school yet already we are over half way through January!

This term we have welcomed two Year 2 girls into our class. Ruby and Emma are settling into Rowan very well and are very much valued members of our class!

We are really excited about our new topic of Pirates and have already learnt about a real pirate, Blackbeard and a fictitious pirate Captain Hook. We are all looking forward to our trip to the new Underwater Street in Liverpool in a few weeks time.

This half term we have a fitness coach in school named Josh. He is showing us how we can keep our body fit. That's great fun!

This half term our PE lessons are on Tuesday afternoon and Friday morning.

Each Monday, Miss Marland is taking us outdoors for Forest School so please make sure we all have a pair of wellies in school. Thank you.

Remember to learn your spellings for a spelling test each Friday! The words are ones that all 

Years 1 and 2 children are expected to spell correctly!

Christmas Dinner!

This morning we made our hats ready for Christmas dinner!

We were certainly ready for something good to eat!

Jacob thought it was delicious!

So did Lewis!!

Here's to the next on Christmas Day!!

The Infant Christmas Party!

We looked lovely in our party clothes!
We were all very excited and full of beans!!
Party time here we come!

                     We played musical statues

Ellie started off our Pass the Parcel - Zayn's wondering if he'll win it!!

Have you won Claire?!

No - Maxwell was the winner!!

Santa brought us FOUR presents!

Lewis and Zayn had a ripping good time!

What lucky children we are!!

We'll leave you a mince pie and a carrot for Rudolph on Christmas Eve!

What a brilliant afternoon we all had! 

Christmas dinner and the Carol Service to look forward to today!!

Very important dates and information!

This afternoon we're really looking forward to our Christmas Party and if we're lucky a very special visitor will be arriving!!

Tomorrow it will be our Christmas Dinner - the first of the season!

Mrs. Marrs and her staff in the kitchen always do us proud with a delicious meal with the Teachers serving the children!

We have made Christmas hats to get us into the mood!

DON'T FORGET TOMORROW EVENING AT 6PM THE SCHOOL CAROL SERVICE TAKES PLACE IN ST.PETER'S CHURCH!

Children from Beech and Sycamore classes will be leading it plus Christmas songs from the School Choir!

Come along, support them all and have a jolly good sing in your Christmas hats and tinsel!!

We finish school as usual at 3-30pm on Wednesday with the whole school enjoying a Christmas sing-a-long!

One final, very important piece of information!

There's a wonderful website www.northpole.com

which is full of brilliant activities for children and adults alike!

The most exciting feature is the 

SANTA TRACKER 

which enables you to track Santa delivering his presents to children (and Mum's and Dad's too!) all over the world!

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Peaceful and Healthy 2017!!

See you all on Thursday 5th January at 

8-50am!

A very special visitor!

This morning we had a very special visitor to Rowan Class!

Mr. Wylie, Rowan Class Governor, came in to spend some time with us.

He enjoyed Worship and Wake and Shake.

He thought we were really good movers, just like Jagger!!

Mr. Wylie brought us a special treat as it's Christmas time - mmmmm - yummy!!

Merry Christmas and thank you for visiting us Mr. Wylie!

Rowan Christmas Craft Day

What a busy day we had yesterday!

With Christmas music in the background we all worked like little elves making pop-up cards, calendars, Father Christmas, Rudolph's and paper chains to decorate our room!

All the children worked independently using their skills of ICT, listening to instructions, drawing, cutting and sticking!

In these photographs you can see how hard the children worked and some of the end results!!

Our Christmas cards involved a lot of skills - cutting, folding, creating a pop-up feature and Christmas wreath with the children's photograph on.

Mum's and dad's will be very proud!

We listened carefully to Miss Long's instructions and worked independently creating our very own Rudolph. 

We have quite a herd of them in our classroom right now!!

We took each other's photographs and have mounted and framed them to create a calendar for you!

We all made a length of paper chain and linked them together to hang from the ceiling.

Our room is VERY festive now!!
