Weekly Update 20.1.23

Hello,

This week Maple Tree class have been completing their report writing on the layers of the rainforest. The children have used a range of technical vocabulary and have published their completed pieces (photos next week). In addition, the class have been using the ipads to research other biomes and completing a fact file on these.

Despite the chilly conditions this week, the children have enjoyed developing their football skills with Jamie from Leeds United Foundation. Hand ball is also proving to be a firm favourite sport of Maple Tree Class.

In maths, consolidating knowledge of decimals continues in my maths group whilst Miss Bairstow's group has been working on fractions.

We have also been enjoying the exciting adventure story 'The Explorer'. This is helping to support our Rainforests topic and will provide some great ideas when we write adventure stories later this term.

Keep warm this weekend!

Hi,

Maple Tree Class have enjoyed learning more about rainforests this week and adding to the vocabulary they will use in their non-chronological report. Next week, we are hoping to make rainforest biomes with the plastic bottles that have been collected.

In maths, my group is working on understanding decimals to three places and converting units of measurement.

Appointments for parents' evening can now be booked on the online system. I am looking forward to speaking to parents and carers and sharing the progress children have been making. Please can Y6 children also attend the meeting as we find it is helpful for them to part of this conversation at this point in the year.

Have a great weekend.

Mrs Trotter

Happy New Year!

Maple Tree Class hit the ground running this week. Our exciting new Rainforest geography topic was introduced. Please can children bring in an empty, clear plastic bottle (1.5 - 2 litre) for a small project linked to this for next week.

The children have revisited their note taking skills in preparation for writing a non-chronological report on rainforests. They have been learning a wide range of vocabulary to support this writing activity. My maths group have been completing the fractions topic and Miss Bairstow's group have been working on converting improper fractions to mixed numbers.   

Peat Rigg parental consent forms for the residential trip have been sent home this week. Please can these be returned by the 13th January so the required school documentation can be completed. 

Have a great weekend.

Mrs Trotter
