Weekly Update 21.10.22
Posted: Oct 21, 2022 by: Mrs Trotter (l.trotter) on: Maple Tree Class Blog
Hi,
Well, the first half-term is complete and it's been a busy one!
This week, the children have 'enjoyed' tasting seasonal vegetables and assessing their taste, texture and whether they would try them again! There were a range of comments and opinions.
The focus for homework in the holidays are times tables. Times tables booklets have been sent home, although times tables can be learnt in a variety of ways and children will benefit from adults or older siblings testing children's mental recall. The speed and accuracy with which children can recall these multiplication and division facts has a huge impact on mathematical success across a range of topics such as fractions, percentages and general problem solving so it would be great for some practising over the holidays.
Also, don't forget the wartime recipe challenge. If you have the opportunity to make some of these great recipes then please email photos of the completed dishes to the class email account maple@ruffordparkprimary.org.uk . Happy cooking!

Enjoy the autumnal break
