Hi,
This week the children in Maple Tree Class have been working hard completing a range of assessments. I have been impressed with the maturity with which the children have approached these tasks.
Please remember the Y5/6 Christmas assembly will be at 9.30 on Wednesday 14th December where we will be sharing some of our work from this term and singing some Christmas carols. There will also be tea/coffee and mince pies for parents/carers! Please contact this office if you have not yet requested tickets for this.
Have a great weekend.

Hi everyone,
The children completed their narrative character descriptive writing this week. The children are becoming more confident to include a range of vocabulary and have been using this to great effect to show a range of emotions.
My maths group, completed their learning on adding and subtracting fractions. We have discussed the importance of a good times tables knowledge to find the common denominator in fractions and converting from improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa. It is vitally important that children continue to practise both their times tables knowledge and associated division facts to aid their speed and accuracy.
In PSHE, we discussed 'Kind Conversations' and how to listen effectively and show good listening. Ask your children to share with you what they need to do to demonstrate good listening.
A World Cup Non-Uniform Day was enjoyed today with a focus on World Cup maths.
Good Luck to England tonight!

Hi,
The children have been working on their descriptive writing skills this week using a short film clip called 'The Piano' as inspiration. They have been discussing different word classes and creating some super sentences. Next week, the children will be using this vocabulary and different sentence structures to write a character description.
We have been discussing the qualities of friendship in PSHE. The children had great fun miming some of the qualities for the other children to guess. Maple Tree Class decided as a class that the most important qualities were loyalty, honesty and respect.
Enjoy the long weekend
Mrs Trotter
