Hi,
Maple Tree Class have enjoyed learning more about rainforests this week and adding to the vocabulary they will use in their non-chronological report. Next week, we are hoping to make rainforest biomes with the plastic bottles that have been collected.
In maths, my group is working on understanding decimals to three places and converting units of measurement.
Appointments for parents' evening can now be booked on the online system. I am looking forward to speaking to parents and carers and sharing the progress children have been making. Please can Y6 children also attend the meeting as we find it is helpful for them to part of this conversation at this point in the year.
Have a great weekend.

Happy New Year!
Maple Tree Class hit the ground running this week. Our exciting new Rainforest geography topic was introduced. Please can children bring in an empty, clear plastic bottle (1.5 - 2 litre) for a small project linked to this for next week.
The children have revisited their note taking skills in preparation for writing a non-chronological report on rainforests. They have been learning a wide range of vocabulary to support this writing activity. My maths group have been completing the fractions topic and Miss Bairstow's group have been working on converting improper fractions to mixed numbers.
Peat Rigg parental consent forms for the residential trip have been sent home this week. Please can these be returned by the 13th January so the required school documentation can be completed.
Have a great weekend.

Hi,
A fun-filled, final week to the autumn term. UKS2 sang brilliantly and shared aspects of their work from our World War Two topic. It was lovely to have an audience filled with family members and the audience participation for the alternative Twelve Days of Christmas was fabulous! A big thank you to Mrs Amos for encouraging the children to be so confident in their singing. I know the children's particular favourite song was 'Sheep, Sheep, Sheep'.
The children enjoyed watching a film and playing board games for their Christmas party. UKS2 also came together to watch 'Goodnight Mr Tom', our whole class reading text.
Mrs Amos, Miss Bairstow and myself have been busy planning for our Rainforests and Ancient Maya topic next term. Please can children save an empty, clear plastic bottle (1.5 - 2litre) ready for a geography project in January. All will be explained in the new year....
Please can children also check at home for any school books (library and reading) and return them after the holidays.
We would like to thank you for the lovely gifts we have received.
Have a super holiday and we will see you on the Tuesday 3rd January.
Merry Christmas!!
Mrs Trotter, Mr Spence and Mrs Senior
