Weekly Update 27.1.23
Posted: Jan 27, 2023 by: Mrs Trotter (l.trotter) on: Maple Tree Class Blog
Hello!
Maple Tree are really enjoying their rainforests topic this half term and have been planning some rainforest inspired poetry this week! The children have been learning different figurative language meanings and how these are used. We are excited to write our poems next week and hopefully publish and share them here too!
In maths, my group have completed their lessons on decimals and are continuing measurement lessons with Mr Spence. Miss Bairstow's group have come to the end of their unit on fractions.
In PSHE, we discussed what bullying is and how it can be identified. The children listened to different scenarios and decided which could be considered to be bullying and which were one off disagreements or arguments. The discussion continued as we learned about cyberbullying. We will continue to talk about these matters in class throughout the year.
Finally, a reminder about our plans for World Book Day which is coming up in March. We recently sent a letter to all parents detailing our plans to hold a decorate a t shirt theme for the first time. Please see below. We kindly ask that all financial contributions are made by next Thursday (Thursday 2nd February) to allow us an appropriate length of time to order t shirts and the resources required to decorate them (and of course to give the children chance to decorate them before WBD!). We have received some queries this week regarding sizing for t shirts - please note all children will receive an oversized t shirt as this will give them much more space for their book cover design and ensure every child in school has a suitable t shirt to wear.
Enjoy the weekend
Mrs Trotter
