Weekly Update 3.2.23
Posted: Feb 2, 2023 by: Mrs Trotter (l.trotter) on: Maple Tree Class Blog
Hello,
Maple Tree class have enjoyed developing their creative writing skills this week; they have been using features such as rhyme, similes, metaphors and personification to write their own version of a poem about the rainforest. I have been impressed how the children have identified particular features and then adapted these to create their own. A love of poetry is being found!
We have also been developing precise reading comprehension skills by analysing short texts and finding evidence to answer a variety of different questions. To help to develop those skills, children should be regularly reading to an adult at home so understanding of both particular vocabulary and general understanding is checked.
UKS2 also commemorated Holocaust Memorial Day by each adding an individual flame to an UKS2 memorial flame.
In PE, the children worked on their football attacking and defending skills.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs Trotter
