Hi everyone,
The children completed their narrative character descriptive writing this week. The children are becoming more confident to include a range of vocabulary and have been using this to great effect to show a range of emotions.
My maths group, completed their learning on adding and subtracting fractions. We have discussed the importance of a good times tables knowledge to find the common denominator in fractions and converting from improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa. It is vitally important that children continue to practise both their times tables knowledge and associated division facts to aid their speed and accuracy.
In PSHE, we discussed 'Kind Conversations' and how to listen effectively and show good listening. Ask your children to share with you what they need to do to demonstrate good listening.
A World Cup Non-Uniform Day was enjoyed today with a focus on World Cup maths.
Good Luck to England tonight!

Hi,
The children have been working on their descriptive writing skills this week using a short film clip called 'The Piano' as inspiration. They have been discussing different word classes and creating some super sentences. Next week, the children will be using this vocabulary and different sentence structures to write a character description.
We have been discussing the qualities of friendship in PSHE. The children had great fun miming some of the qualities for the other children to guess. Maple Tree Class decided as a class that the most important qualities were loyalty, honesty and respect.
Enjoy the long weekend

Hi,
Maple Tree Class completed their non-chronological reports this week. The children enjoyed being creative in how their writing was presented and have learned lots of useful historical information.
Whilst reminding the children what Remembrance Day is this week, the class focus on World War Two moved to local connections. We learned the names of all the local soldiers who had lost their lives during World War Two; some of those names were added to individual poppies and two class wreaths were made. Similar activities also took place in Oak and Ash Tree Class with individual names added to crosses and pebbles so the local men could be remembered.
Another delicious wartime recipe has been created! Please keep sending the photos to the class email address maple@ruffordparkprimary.org.uk
Reminder letters have been sent home with children this week regarding the residential trip in April 2023. Please contact school if you have any queries or concerns about the trip. The residential experience is an important part of Year 6 and the children always have an amazing time.
A number of Year 6 children have been arriving on school premises extremely early in the morning. School starts at 8:50am and children should only be arriving on site shortly before this time.
Enjoy your weekend
