Weekly Update - 9.1.26
Posted: Jan 9, 2026 by: Miss Bairstow (d.bairstow) on: Maple Tree Class Blog
Hello,
We hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year!
We have had a slightly shorter week this week with the training day on Monday but we are back into the swing of things now!
We have enjoyed starting our new topic, Mountains and Rivers (during this topic we will pay particular attention towards comparing our region with the Western U.S.A) through guided reading so far. We have started our new class text, King of the Cloud Forests by Michael Morpurgo and looked at a reading comprehension about how mountains are made.
On Wednesday while the Y5 children rehearse for their upcoming performance of the Wizard of Oz, we spend most of the day in Y6 focusing on key reading and arithmetic preparation for SATs.
Next week there is a meeting about our residential to Peat Rigg on Wednesday afternoon straight after school. This will be held in Maple Tree classroom. Please wait by the cloakroom doors the children exit out of and a member of staff will come down to collect you.
Have a lovely weekend!
Miss Bairstow
