Hi,
The half-term holidays have arrived and I hope you are all looking forward to some fun activities over the next week. Maple Tree Class have had a fantastic start to Year 6. The children have shown great maturity in their approach to their learning and all the team in Year 6 have been really impressed.
This week, the children completed their poetry writing. They have shown great imagination with their onamatopoeic sounds.
We were hoping to celebrate the end of our UKS2 hockey unit with an outside mini tournament on Thursday. Unfortunately, the weather conspired against us and we had to make some adjustments so Sam brilliantly led an inside tournament where the children competed for house points. Everyone had great fun. We are hoping to do another tournament next half-term.
Enjoy the holidays!

Hi,
An extremely busy week! It has been lovely to meet all the parents of the children in the class and share the fantastic start the children have made to the year. They are a great class and have settled well into the Year 6 routines.
I have included some photos of the fantastic diary entries that the children wrote in the role of a Victorian school child. Some of this writing is currently on display in the school corridor and in the classroom.
We are now working on an onamatopoeic poem linked to the sounds of Armley Mills.
In maths, my group are working on simplifying and finding equivalent fractions. This is a big maths topic and will carry on into the next half-term leading up to Christmas.
Have a lovely weekend. Hopefully, it's not too soggy!

Hello,
Maple Tree Class have had a productive time completing their Victorian school child diaries this week. They are fantastic and will be on display in the classroom and school corridor so parents will be able to see them during parents' evening next week.
The children enjoyed a sunny afternoon of hockey on Thursday. Their skills have improved and they managed to play several games.
Enjoy the long weekend.
