Teacher Bio:

Welcome to Rowan Class! I would like to introduce myself as your new teacher for the rest of the year! My name is Mrs Drury and I have been part of The Pines Community for my whole teaching career. I have always loved learning and am an avid reader of books - you can always find one that I have on the go in every room of my house. Apart from curling up with a good book, my favourite things to do are talking long walks with my family and then enjoying a delicious dinner. Another big passion I have, is for anything Disney which has always brought me such joy from my first cinema trip to see 'The Little Mermaid' to now, when I sit with my children to watch their favourites. I look forward to getting to know you all and helping you with your final months at The Pines.

Class Routines

Our main classroom door for the start of the day is in the courtyard.  You will be dismissed from the same door at the end of the day.

Current Learning

This term, our curriculum learning is all about CHANGES. For the full details of this unit, have a look at our Knowledge Organiser below. 

We are reading a new novel Can You See Me Now? which focuses on Tally, an 11-year-old girl with autism, and how she is hiding her real self as she feels people do not understand her.

At the moment, we are particularly focusing on the following:

English:  We are currently 'Writing to Entertain'.  The final written outcome of our work will be twisted fairy tale, using the story of 'Blackberry Blue' as inspiration.

Maths:  After SATS, we will be using the last half term to consolidate and challenge the children to use all the calculation skills they have learnt to solve a variety of problems.

Science: This terms science will see us explore the differences in the life cycles of mammals, amphibians, insects and birds. We will also describe the life process of reproduction in some plants and animals alogn with describing the changes humans go through as they develop to old age.

PHSE:  Growing and Changing

Geography: We will be developing our fieldwork skills by exploring the changes that have happened overt time to landscapes in our local area. We will also be focusing on the impact of climate change on our planet.
