Hi,
Maple Tree Class have been busy completing their evacuee diaries this week and beginning to plan their next piece of writing. The range of vocabulary used has been impressive and the children have enjoyed getting into the role of an evacuee. I will share some of the work on the blog next week. In maths, the children have been consolidating their adding and subtracting knowledge by using their problem solving and reasoning skills.
Year 6 School Council elections will take place on Monday. If your child wishes to apply for the role of Chairperson or Communications Secretary they need to design a poster that explains why they think they will be good at their chosen role. Each child that applies, will present to the class before voting takes place. Good luck everyone!
As you can see from the photos, the class enjoyed some great tag rugby games in the beautiful autumnal sunshine. The children's skill levels have improved greatly and it was lovely to see everyone having a super time.
It was good to speak to parents this week and let everyone know how well the children have settled into Maple Tree Class. Thank you to parents who have been emailing in photos of the super wartime recipes that your children have been making at home. This homework continues until December so there is still lots of time to try to make and enjoy the wartime diet.
I hope you can all enjoy the gorgeous autumnal sunshine this weekend.

Hi everyone,
This week, I have been particularly impressed with the children's progress in writing their evacuation diaries. They are becoming more skilled at using a range of vocabulary from our class novel (Goodnight Mr Tom) and their developing knowledge of World War Two. I am looking forward to sharing the completed work with parents/carers during parents' evening on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please book an appointment if you have not already done so.
It has also been lovely to receive photos from home from children who have been completing the World War Two recipe homework. Linked to our Design and Technology work, the children have been making a a variety of recipes using the rationed ingredients available during World War Two. I have heard that the recipes are delicious and fun to make. This homework will be taking place throughout the autumn term (until Christmas).
Have lovely weekend

Hi,
Maple Tree Class have been focusing on planning a piece of writing in the role of an evacuee this week. The children have been developing their vocabulary by reading a range of evacuee accounts and borrowing some great words and phrases. They will be working hard to show and not tell the reader the range of emotions the evacuee would have been feeling. I am looking forward to sharing some of this work in future blogs.
1970s disco is our music focus. It has been great fun to share this music (which I can remember from the 1970s!) and begin to learn some disco choreography!
Parents' evening will be on Tuesday 11th and Wednesday 12th October. Appointments can be booked online from Monday. It will be great to speak to parents and update you on how your child has settled into Year 6 so far.
Enjoy the weekend
Mrs Trotter
