In Maple Class this week:

Whole Class Reading: this week we will looking at the lyrics for the song, Bare Necessity, from the film Jungle Book. We will discuss vocabulary and content, with the children working as a whole class and in small groups, to retrieve information and make inferences about the lyrics. There will probably be some singing too!

Maths: we are continuing with fractions and money again this week, looking specifically at ordering and comparing unit fractions, understanding non-unit fractions and subtracting money.

English: we will be continuing our work with the book, The Egyptian Cinderella, using drama to support our learning, and continuing a poetry theme.

Time and Place: this week, we further investigate the Ancient Egyptians, specifically how society was organised during that time.

Art: we are designing our puppets and discussing the available materials.

Science and Computing will continue as normal. Mrs Duncombe will be leading the science unit, all about flowering plants.

Homework will be as usual on Tuesday, and due back next Monday as normal. Please note, it is not necessary to complete all the quizzes on Purple Mash! Please choose one of the options.

If you have any questions this week, or 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
