Hi,
A fantastic final week for Year 6! A Summer Fun Day, pizzas, disco and shirt signing. We made the most of one sunny day last week to take the Leavers' Hoodie photo.
We have so many happy memories from this year and wish the children the best of luck for their new starts in September.
We would like to say a massive thank you to the children for all their hard work over the last year and to all the parents and carers for all their support. We are so grateful for all the wonderful and thoughtful gifts and cards we have received. Thank you!
So finally...
Have a fabulous summer!

A fabulous penultimate week in Year 6 Maple!
Despite the rainy conditions, the children enjoyed taking part in the annual Sport's Day! Red house were the KS2 winners.
On Wednesday, the children in Year 6 put on amazing performance of 'Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies'. The comedy timing was superb and the audience absolutely loved it. All of this was managed with the hard work of children learning their lines and a minimal rehearsal schedule as we have been busy with so many activities in recent weeks. A special thanks also to Mrs Amos for her help with learning the songs.
On Thursday, the children enjoyed a secondary maths lesson with Mr White from Benton Park. They learned how to calculate either distance,
speed and time in a range of problems and discovered that it was quite easy and it was Year 8 Maths!
Year 6 had an organised visit from West Yorkshire Police to discuss issues that are particularly relevant ahead of the transition to secondary school in September. Road, online and general personal safety were all discussed to enable children to have a good understanding of how they can keep themselves safe as they move towards greater independence.
There was great excitement when the Leavers' Hoodies were given out. We have taken lots of photos that will be published shortly. Next week, we have arranged more fun activities including a Summer Fun afternoon on Wednesday and pizza and disco on Wednesday evening. Year 6 children are also welcome to bring an additional shirt in next Friday for the traditional shirt signing.
Your child will be bringing home their school report today. This will include the results of the SATs assessments.
As you can see we have been very busy.....
Enjoy the weekend

Hi,
The final few weeks of term are speeding by!
This week, Year 6 organised their second Market Day Event as part of the 'Grow a £5 Challenge'. The event was very busy and lots of the products (bookmarks, cakes and sweets) sold out! The business groups counted the money they made yesterday and winners will be announced shortly.
The final Bikeability group completed their on the road training on Monday. Every child in Year 6 has now participated in training. Badges and certificates will be given out next week.
A group of Year 6 boys took part in a football tournament organised by Fisical Sports on Tuesday. A group of Year 6 girls took part in the girls' tournament last week. Both teams represented the school well and enjoyed this extra opportunity.
Following on from all of these activities, we finally came together as a cohort on Thursday to continue rehearsing the production of 'Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies'. It has been a tight rehearsal schedule but everyone is looking forward to performing to parents and carers on Wednesday 12th July. Each child has been given two tickets for the performance. If two tickets are not required please can they be returned to school so they can be redistributed. Costumes have been discussed with the children. Most have been provided by school and children know if they need to bring anything in from home.
Please can children use this weekend to ensure that they have learned their lines ready for next week's performance.
Have a sunny weekend!
Mrs Trotter
