Hello,
Maple Tree Class have definitely hit the ground running this week following the fantastic residential trip at the end of the last term. The children wrote some excellent thank you letters to the staff at Peat Rigg which we will be sending to let the staff at the centre to let them know what an amazing time we had.
Please see the link for all the photos from the residential trip Peat Rigg Photos
SATs are now less than three weeks away (week beginning 12.5.25) so our focus is now on preparing for these. A note went home with all the children this week to let you know that a Breakfast Club will be available for all Year 6 children from Monday-Thursday of that week.
Completing all homework tasks and regularly reading at home is particularly important over the next few weeks to ensure that all children are fully prepared for SATs. In addition, a maths booklet has been provided for all children to help with any tasks and to revise all the maths concepts that have been taught throughout the year.
Enjoy the weekend

Hi,
As the excitement mounts for the residential trip to Peat Rigg next week, Maple Tree Class have been busy completing their balanced arguments and deepening their understanding of angles; focusing on vertically opposite angles and angles in a triangle.
On Wednesday 2nd April, please can children arrive at school at the normal time but go straight to the hall (the side doors will be open). Any medication needs to be checked in with Miss Bairstow and administering details confirmed. We will bring any in school medication (blue inhalers).
We aim to leave school by 9:15am and return to school at the end of the school day (traffic permitting) - we will notify school if there is a significant delay.
If there are any queries ahead of Wednesday please do not hesitate to contact either myself or Miss Bairstow on our class email addresses.
The weather is looking promising so sun cream may be advisable. A reminder of the kit list is attached.
Have a super sunny weekend!
Mrs Trotter

Hello,
A hardworking and focused assessment week in Year 6. The children worked hard to complete a range of assessments and showed the great progress they are making. It was lovely to see parents and children during parents' evening this week and discuss individual progress, secondary transition, the residential trip and the forthcoming SATs. All parents/carers received an information booklet about the SATs that will be taking place week beginning Monday 12th May. If there are any questions about SATs please do not hesitate to contact me.
We completed the week with an amazing Maya workshop with Dr Diane Davis, who shared her knowledge of the Maya. The children were also able to see Maya artefacts and discuss what they were used for.
A super sunny PE lesson involving communication skills and balancing was enjoyed by everyone. Lots of enthusiasm and laughter!
Enjoy the weekend
Mrs Trotter
