This week in Maple Class:

English: this week, we will be continuing with the Holiday Brochure unit. We have completed lots of research and will now begin to create our own brochures.

Whole Class Reading: this week we are looking at an extract from the book, Fortunately the Milk, by Chris Riddell. The children will discuss the vocabulary and answer comprehension questions, both as a group, in pairs and independently.

Maths: This week we will continue focusing on adding and subtracting, further investigating crossing tens and hundreds.

Art: This week, we will be continuing a DT project involving recycled fabrics.

RE: This term, we are continuing the Incarnation unit and investigating the Trinity.

PE: Unfortunately, we will not be having PE this week, due to the KS1 Nativity. However, depending on the weather, we will try to spend some extra time outside, so please do send your children in with their PE kits as usual.

In addition, we will also be doing Science and Computing with Mrs Banner.

Homework will be issued on Tuesday as usual, and is due back next Monday. If you have any concerns about the homework, please email the Maple Class email or pop a note in the Home Learning book. Please try to read with the children and encourage them to put their reading records and homework books in the basket in the classroom.

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
