Maple Class

We have been weather reporters this week. We have learnt how to read weather forecasts and collected data on the weather each morning. We have been thinking about weather effects our daily lives. Mr Lowther came to visit us and spoke about how the weather effects his job. Ramsey - 'When the snow turns to ice Mr Lowther needs to put salt on it to make it melt so no one slips' Kaitlyn - 'At night Mr Lowther wears a high visibility jacket so that everyone can see him in the dark'. In English, we have been reading a Percy the Park Keeper book called 'After the Storm'. We have explored different types of sentences within the story. Can you read any more Percy the Park Keeper books from the library or at home? In maths we have been focusing on addition. Harry - If you want to add 9 then you can add 10 and then just take one away. Luca is spending the weekend with Night for super maths learning. Myles is Star of the Week for challenging himself.

This week we have made animal rescue vehicles in design and technology. Our vehicle had to be strong enough to hold a toy elephant, move with ease and be attractive to look at. What do vehicles need? William - wheels Katelynn - chassis Rio - axle Elliot - body Max - axle holder In English, we wrote a set of instructions on 'How to make a moving vehicle'. On Thursday we had a Game On workshop where we practised our netball skills. We learnt different types of passes including chest throw, overhead throw and bounce pass. Well done to Kaspar who is Star of the Week for being supportive and helping others during DT. Next week is half term. We hope you all have a brilliant week with lots of fun, time with family and friends and rest!

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
