This week will look a little different!  We are very lucky to be having a storytelling workshop on Wednesday, which will investigate the realities of climate change and environmental challenges. A big part of this week will, therefore, be based on the concept of recycling, specifically the three R’s – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Our Whole Class Reading this week will be about a football club who use kits made from recycled bottles! We will be looking at vocabulary and answering comprehension questions, following the Vipers strategies:

In English, we will investigate and write about recycling and repurposing.

Maths will be as normal, continuing the first block of Multiplication and Division. This week, focusing on multiples of 3,5 and 10, and grouping and sharing.

In Design Technology, we will be learning all about repurposing and using fabrics.

PE is on a Monday and Friday this term, and we will be continuing the fundamentals unit. Please ensure your child has their full PE kit in school.

Homework is issued on a Tuesday and due back the following Monday. If you have any questions about the homework, or if your child is having difficulty completing the work, please email, or leave a note in the homework book.

Reading Records can come in every day, but should always be sent in on a Monday and Thursday. Books will be changed on those days, but we will also do our best to change books every day if necessary. If you have any questions about your child’s reading level, please do get in touch.

If you have any questions, at any point in the year, please email the class email: maple@st-barnabas.kent.sch.uk. For any urgent messages, please email the main office email.

Kind regards

Mrs Smallcombe and the Maple Team
