Hello,
First week of the Summer term completed and it actually feels a bit summery now!
This week we have finally written our rather belated thank you letters to Peat Rigg (we were in the midst of writing adventure stories around the time of residential!).
In maths, both groups have been learning about perimeter and area.
We also had an exciting day on Thursday as we had the official launch day for our new topic, Ancient Greece. All of the children in UKS2 rotated between the three classes to complete three different activities: ancient Greek vase art with Miss Bairstow, an introduction and research task about Greek Gods and Goddesses with Mrs Trotter and a geography "ancient Greek passport" task with Mrs Amos.
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Bairstow :)

Hello and Happy Easter!
We have reached the end of our second full term!
The year seems to be flying! We now have the link for Leavers Hoodies to be ordered via PC Sports. Please make sure this is done over the Easter holidays so that we can confirm with them and get the order processed ASAP.
This week we have spent A LOT of time writing our fabulous adventure stories and even managed to get them published. Maple Tree have really enjoyed getting creative and have shown a superb standard of Year 6 writing.
Have a lovely Easter holidays and see you in two weeks!
Miss Bairstow :)

Hello,
We have had another productive week in Year 6 Maple!
In English, we have made a fantastic start to writing our adventure stories. We are hoping to publish them into a book!
In maths, Mrs Trotter's group have been rounding decimals and my group have been looking at equivalent fractions and decimals and percentages.
Four more days and we have a lovely two week holiday to look forward to! Keep your eyes peeled for further information about leavers' hoodies over the next few weeks too.
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Bairstow :)

In English, we have been practising some grammar skills like inverted commas and also looking at different ways to start sentences as we build up to writing our adventure stories. We are hoping to have them written and published by Easter!

We have also done lots of topic work, PSHE, French and more!

In English, the children have been busy planning their adventure stories featuring a mountain setting and a yeti! Watch this space....
In maths, both mine and Mrs Trotter's groups have been focusing on decimals.
If you haven't had a chance to view the Peat Rigg Photos, please click here: Peat Rigg Photos We had a great time and the children were fabulous!
We are already planning next year's trip for the current Year 5 - the dates are Wednesday 31st March - Friday 2nd April 2027. Further information about the trip will be sent to parents/carers in the Summer Term.
