Hello,
We have had another productive week in Year 6 Maple!
In English, we have been practising some grammar skills like inverted commas and also looking at different ways to start sentences as we build up to writing our adventure stories. We are hoping to have them written and published by Easter!
In maths, Mrs Trotter's group and my group have been looking at equivalent fractions and decimals.
We have also done lots of topic work, PSHE, French and more!
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Bairstow :)

Hello!
After a particularly exciting week for Year 6 on their residential trip to Peat Rigg, we were straight back to our usual lessons this week.
In English, the children have been busy planning their adventure stories featuring a mountain setting and a yeti! Watch this space....
In maths, both mine and Mrs Trotter's groups have been focusing on decimals.
If you haven't had a chance to view the Peat Rigg Photos, please click here: Peat Rigg Photos We had a great time and the children were fabulous!
We are already planning next year's trip for the current Year 5 - the dates are Wednesday 31st March - Friday 2nd April 2027. Further information about the trip will be sent to parents/carers in the Summer Term.
Have a super weekend!

Hello,
Welcome back! We have had a great first week back. I have been especially impressed this week with the quality of writing Maple Tree have produced when writing their Yeti character descriptions!
In maths, Mrs Trotter's group have been finding fractions of amounts and my group have really got stuck into the algebra unit we started before the half term break.
Excitement is mounting for the Year 6 residential trip to Peat Rigg. Mrs Trotter and I had a short meeting with the children on Wednesday to answer any last minute questions. Just a reminder that if your child requires any medication that is not required during the school day then a medical form will need to be completed (this include travel sickness pills). On Wednesday, children should arrive at the normal time but come to the hall using the side doors. On Friday, we should return around the time of the end of the school day. If we are running very late, the office will send a text message to parents. Please email the class email address or contact the office if you have any questions.
The kit list for Peat Rigg can also be found under the "Useful Documents" heading on the Maple Tree Class page on the website - https://www.ruffordparkprimary.org.uk/classes/year6maple
Have a great weekend.
Miss Bairstow :)
