Welcome to Maple’s class page.
In English, the children have written some great narratives based on the book, The Nowhere Emporium. Mr. Humphrey and myself have enjoyed reading them and seeing the children’s imagination come alive as well as how much they have progressed this year.
In maths, we have been looking at shape specifically angles and length and recapping on some prior knowledge. The children were exposed to protractors and practiced using them, which built up our accuracy skills.
During science, we have investigated the reproductive system. We did an in-depth study into identifying the sexual reproduction system on plants. The children dissected flowers to examine the female and male parts.
Our year 6s, had SATs and residential this half term, we are super proud of them and can’t wait to hear about their time at Thorpe Woodlands.
To link in with VE day, we have been learning about World War II and how technology advanced from WWI. We have decided to link this in with a trip and we will be visiting Landguard Fort on 13th June to look at artifacts and hear about the challenges people faced in WWI and WWII.
We have PE on Tuesday, Year 5 have swimming on Wednesday and Year 6s have a PE session on Friday afternoons. For swimming, you will need a swimsuit, towel and swimming hat. Please remember to come in school uniform and we change when we are at the pool. Year 6s please come to school on Friday in your PE kit.
Make sure you access TTRS on a regular basis to help with your maths skills and to win prizes throughout the year.
Make sure you check back to see what we will be getting up to this year.
We are looking forward to a very busy and exciting term!
