Hi,
A very busy and productive week. Maple Tree Class have produced some excellent descriptive writing thinking about 'showing and not telling' the reader. The children thought about how people show emotions rather than using the emotions word in their writing. Their excellent work will be displayed in the classroom.
My maths group has continued their work on decimals and have been learning to divide decimals with integers (whole numbers) and then using this fluency skill to solve problems.
In science, we investigated materials and their properties. The children learnt how important it is to know the properties of a material before deciding what the material can be used for.
Have a great weekend.

Happy New Year!
Maple Tree Class quickly resumed their learning this week.
We started our new geography topic of Mountains and Rivers. Everyone has learned a lot of technical vocabulary associated with mountains and the children are beginning to write a mountains setting description in preparation for story writing. The children have also used atlases to locate key mountain ranges in Europe.
My maths group has started a new decimals maths topic. I have been really impressed with the level of understanding that the children have demonstrated.
A great start to 2022!
Have a lovely weekend

Hi,
A VERY busy week full of Christmas activities. Year 6 supported the rest of KS2 by singing a few of the songs from the Snow Queen production to welcome parents as they arrived for each of the four performances. The children looked fantastic in their Christmas jumpers and the singing was good preparation for when Year 6 will take part in their own production in the summer.
In class, the children have been designing their own baubles for the class Christmas tree and making cards in addition to some coordinates maths work. Whilst making the cards the children used their measuring skills to create the perfect Christmas tree.
On Thursday, the children enjoyed their Christmas party with games and a selection of snacks.
Everyone has worked extremely hard throughout this term and we are all looking forward to a festive Christmas break. Mrs Senior, Miss Davey and I would like to thank all parents and carers for their support during this term and for the Christmas gifts and cards.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2022!
Mrs Trotter
