In Maple Class this week:

We will be starting to learn the songs etc for the 'Show in a Week'. If your child has any lines to learn, these will be sent out towards the end of this week. We are also having a workshop with the Drama Geezers on Thursday.

English: this week, we are continuing the book ‘King of the Sky’, by Nicola Davies. We will be building on direct speech punctuation.

Maths: we are continuing the multiplication unit, focusing on multiplying and dividing by eight.

Whole Class Reading: this week, we will be focusing on our Play in a Week, looking at the script, including the song lyrics, and reading the book to familiarise ourselves with the original story.

Art: this week, we will be starting our final portrait piece, making decisions about our materials and composition.

RE: continuing on from last week, we will be investigating further aspects of how Sikhs worship.

Time and Place: we will be considering everything we know about volcanoes!

PE: we have PE on Wednesday and Friday as usual this week, and will be continuing the gymnastics unit.

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

Homework will be issued Tuesday as normal, and is due back on the Monday following half-term. In addition, please send your children in with their reading records on Mondays and Thursdays. If your child needs a book changed on other days, we will do our best to accommodate this.

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
