Woburn Safari Park - 26.1.18

Yesterday we went on a school trip to Woburn Safari Park because our topic is called 'Colours of the World' and we wanted to learn about colours in nature and animals.
William - My favourite part was when the sea lions were swimming, it was funny
Ramsey - My favourite part was watching the monkeys swing and climb on the trees
Eden - I learnt that zebras bundle together and run at the same time so that their predators eyes go blurry when they're looking at all of the stripes.
Ellis - I touched a cheetahs skin. Cheetahs are mammals and they use their spots to camouflage when hunting their prey.


Well done to all of Maple Class for representing our school so well and thank you to all of the grown ups that came and helped.


Today in English we wrote a recount of our school trip. We used time connectives to show the order of events.


In Science, we have been learning about different habitats. We learnt how animals are suited to their environment.
Kaspar - A polar has thick fur and a layer of fat to keep it warm in it's polar habitat.
GG - Camels survive in the desert because they store fat in their humps. They can go without food for 7 months!


Well done to Kaspar who has been thinking really carefully about his presentation this week so will be spending the weekend with Night. Gracie is star of the week for managing her feelings in the morning.


We are going to Woodlands on Monday so please bring in wellies if you haven't already got them in school.

Welcome to Maple Class! - 15.9.17

It's been a busy first couple of weeks in Maple Class and we've all settled in really well. Yesterday we went on a school trip to Knebworth House because our topic is called Once Upon A Time. What was your favourite part? Ramsey and Caitlin – My favourite part was looking at the big dinosaurs Lucy – I liked the Three Little Pig’s huts. We huffed and puffed but we couldn’t blow them down. Sam – My favourite part of the story trial was when we stomped over the Three Billy Goats Gruff bridge. Well done to everyone for representing our school so well on the visit - the adults are very proud! In English, we wrote recounts of our trip using time connectives. In Maths this week we have been using our double facts to solve near doubles. Eden said ‘If I know double 4 = 8, I can use that fact to solve 4+ 3 because it’s just one less’. On Monday, we started learning Spanish with Mrs Couch. We're looking forward to learning lots of new words and phrases. Well done to Rams

Bonfire Night - 3.11.17

This week our writing, guided reading and topic have been centred about Bonfire Night. We have been learning about why we celebrate bonfire night during topic. We shared the story of The Gunpowder Plot. Max – Guy Fawkes wanted to blow up the houses of parliament but he couldn’t because the guards found him. Sam – Guy Fawkes put gunpowder at the bottom of the king's throne. We thought about how modern day celebrations are linked to The Gunpowder Plot. In English, we have been poets exploring lots of different language such as onomatopoeia (sound words),rhyme and alliteration. Next week we will be using our ideas to create our own firework poems. Today we wrote a rocket diary in creative writing, imagining that we were a rocket blasting into the sky. Today we came to school wearing bright colours to raise awareness of staying safe in the dark. We have revised road safety as well as ways to stay safe on bonfire night. Jake is Star of the Week for always being ready to

NSPCC Number Day - 2.2.18

Today we have come to school wearing a number to help raise money for NSPCC. Thank you to everyone who has donated. Sam - I'm wearing number 9 and if you turn 9 around it looks like a 6 Rafferty - I'm wearing 10. I know 5 + 5 = 10 Ciara - I'm wearing 1. Double 1 = 2 Max - I'm wearing 36. It's a 2 digit number. To celebrate number day, we have been completing lots of money activities. We worked with our partner to find different combinations of money to pay for fruit. We even got to buy our own special snack too as a treat! In English, we have been reading a story called 'The Hunter' which was set in Africa. We have been using noun phrases and adverbs to describe the setting. In Science, we applied our scientific knowledge of habitats as well as our creativity skills to create shoe box habitats. We worked really well in teams. Tonight in the school disco - we look forward to seeing you! Well done to Rafferty who is Star of the Week for his team
