 Rowling Autumn 1 Planning
Rowling class has two teachers: Mr Raybould and Mrs Gregory. We would like to welcome you to our webpage where you'll find useful information about life in Rowling class.
For the first part of the Autumn Term, our topic is called The Vikings Have Landed! We will learn about why and how the Vikings invaded Britain as well as learning about Vikings myths, legends and sagas. The Saga of Erik the Viking, by Terry Jones, will inspire us to write our own sagas. Not only that, we will be making Viking style bags in our DT lessons. MusicMusic this year in Rowling will be all about learning the clarinet! For many in the class, this will be a continuation of the learning that took place in Morpurgo. For Mr Raybould, this is an excellent opportunity to learn a new instrument other than the guitar.
PEPE in the Autumn Term will be both in school and swimming.
School PE will be on a Tuesday and children will come to school in PE kit. Swimming will be on a Wednesday starting on 21st September. Children will come to school in normal uniform with their swimming kit in a bag. For the weeks prior to this, please can children come to school in PE kit ready for normal PE lessons? HomeworkOngoing homework is reading, Times Tables Rock Stars and spelling practice (see opposite). Practice makes progress.
Additional homework will be posted on Seesaw. |

Spelling tests are on a Thursday. Spelling rules: There will be a different spelling rule each week and will be added to the children's planners. 8 of the 10 words will be tested each week. "Orange" words: Every half term there are 20 of the 100(ish) spelling words taken from the statutory spelling list for Years 5 and 6. Two of these spellings will be tested randomly every week as part of the spelling test. Spelling Shed: All spelling lists will be on Spelling Shed for practice. |
