Our Christmas/winter decorations are really taking shape now and there are some very imaginative ideas. We will continue these this week! As a DT project, the children are all producing very different creations to meet the design brief.

In English this week, we will continue using the Stone Aged-themed text to produce and perform our own, free-verse poetry.

Our Whole Class Reading this week will be using our ‘Little People, Big Dreams’ advent calendar, to investigate some inspiring people from around the world.  We will be discussing each mini-book, looking at vocabulary and answering comprehension questions.

In Maths, we are continuing the Addition and Subtraction unit, focusing on adding and subtracting across 10 and 100.

In Science, we will continue the nutrition and diet unit, this week designing healthy snacks.

PE is on a Monday and Friday this term, and we will continue hockey this week. Please ensure your child has their full PE kit in school.

Homework is issued on a Tuesday and is 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, 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
