Hello,
This week Maple Tree Class have completed their non-chronological report writing. After some whole class feedback the children edited and improved their reports and produced some fabulous published pieces:
In maths, my group has been busy calculating percentages of amounts.
In UKS2, we also discussed Holocaust Memorial Day and have completed a piece of keyhole art that focuses on the theme of 'Fragility of Freedom'.
This collaborative work will shortly be on display in school.
Have a super weekend!

Hi,
The children have been busy completing their non-chronological report writing this week that they will be publishing next week. I look forward to posting some photos on the blog.
We started our art unit this week as the children enjoyed developing their landscape drawing skills and learning about the artist John Singer Sargent. Examples of this fabulous work also to follow...
In maths, my group have moved onto learning about percentages and Miss Bairstow's group have been working on their multiplication and division skills.
I am beginning to talk to the children more about the residential trip to Peat Rigg in April as this will arrive very quickly now. A meeting has also been arranged for parents on Tuesday 27th February at 3:30pm in Maple Tree Classroom. This will be an opportunity for myself and Miss Bairstow to tell you more about the trip and for parents/carers to ask any questions. There will also be some more information and a few letters to sign that will be sent out shortly.
Enjoy the weekend

Hi,
Another very productive week in Maple Tree Class.
The children have been developing their formal English writing skills whilst writing a non-chronological report about Leeds and a chosen town/city which is twinned with Leeds. The children have enjoyed developing their geographical skills and learning more about Leeds.
In our geography lesson, the children learned more about the key physical and human features of the UK and the Yorkshire and Humber region and expanded their geographical vocabulary with terms such as rural, urban and topography.
In maths, the focus has been on decimals and applying this knowledge to problem solving. Miss Bairstow's group has been working on fractions.
Have a great weekend!
