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!

Hi everyone,
The lead up to Christmas began this week as we watched the Key Stage One performance of 'Hey Ewe' and put up our class Christmas Tree. It was lovely to watch the nativity performance and Key Stage One did a fantastic job. Year 6 are looking forward to singing some of the songs from Snow Queen to parents and carers as they arrive and leave the Key Stage Two performances next week.
We are still busy learning in the classroom. In maths, my group have been completing the fractions maths topic by learning how to find fractions of amounts and in Miss Bairstow's group the children have been learning about area and perimeter. The children also completed a writing assessment based on the wonderful Anthony Browne book 'The Tunnel'. Some amazing art work has also been completed based on the famous Victorian designer William Morris.
We are all ready for a restful week ahead of a busy final week of term next week.
Have a lovely weekend
Mrs Trotter
