Weekly Update 11.3.22
Posted: Mar 10, 2022 by: Mrs Trotter (l.trotter) on: Maple Tree Class Blog
Hi,
In addition to all our normal lessons this week Year 6 had a special visit week from a maths teacher from Benton Park. The children were excited to learn about when and why algebra was invented and began to solve some problems using bar models. Both myself and the secondary school teacher were very impressed with how the children approached and tackled the problems and how they chose tricky numbers in order to challenge themselves.
I have explained to the class that PE will be on Thursday and Friday next week (for one week only) so PE kit will need to be worn on those days. On non-PE days (just a reminder) that black shoes should be worn.
Just a reminder that all children in school received a World Book Day token last week which can be redeemed in certain shops for a FREE book until Sunday 27th March. There are 12 completely free books to choose from this year or alternatively the children can redeem their voucher against a full price book to knock £1 off the cost.
The nearest places to redeem the vouchers this year are:
Sainsbury's
2.6 miles from LS19 7QR. 760 Harrogate Road, Bradford, West Yorkshire BD10 0QF
Sainsbury's
2.9 miles from LS19 7QR. 11 Bondgate, Otley, West Yorkshire LS21 3AB
The Bookshop on the Square
3.0 miles from LS19 7QR. 28 Market Place, Otley, West Yorkshire LS21 3AQ
Truman Books Ltd
3.3 miles from LS19 7QR. 95 Town Street, Leeds, West Yorkshire LS28 5HX
Vouchers can also be redeemed in any large Sainsbury's (not local stores), large Tesco (not express stores), Waterstones or WHSmith.
There are several other independent bookshops in Ilkley/Harrogate where you can redeem tokens too. You can use the search function here to find alternative participating retailers from further afield.
Enjoy the longer weekend (remember Monday is a training day)
