Hello,
Welcome back! We have started preparing to write our non-chronological reports about the role of women during WW2 this week by conducting further research and looking at the features of non-chronological reports.
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have been solving multi-step problems and learning how to solve calculations using BODMAS. Mrs Trotter's group have been working on inverse calculations for addition and subtraction.
Have a good weekend!

Hello and happy half term!
We have officially completed our first (and longest!) half term of the year. We have had a great and very busy start to the academic year, beginning with an Ofsted and ending with parents' evenings and lots in between!
This week, there is no usual homework for Year 6 Maple and instead they have all been sent home with a "recommended read list" for Year 5 and Year 6. I have challenged them all to visit a library or a bookshop or even look at home for books they haven't read yet and try to read something from one of the lists if they haven't already. The children already have their WW2 rationing homework challenge too so they might like to make a recipe from that over the holidays too!
I hope you all have a lovely half term and will see you in a week!

Hello,
Our trip photos from our evacuee day on the Worth Valley Railway back in September are now live on the website. View the gallery by clicking the link below:
We have also published our diaries and our excellent display is up in the corridor - look out for this at Parents' Evening next week!
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have been finishing off their work on multiplication and looking at formal methods for division. Mrs Trotter's group have been finishing their work on rounding and moving on to formal methods for addition.
In topic, we have been learning about rationing and creating some propaganda posters linked to this.
An additional rationing WW2 history/DT homework task has gone home this week too. It runs from now until the week before Christmas and is a chance for you to have a go at making some WW2 inspired recipes at home!
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Bairstow
