Digestion!

We've had another busy week in Maple Class!


In English, we've been looking at non-chronological reports and non-fiction books all about space.


The sun is a ball of gas and it is a star. Jorgie
Space is very quiet. Johnny
It is cold in space. Holly


We have started our own space books and we will finish these next week.


In maths, we have been practising our measuring skills. We have used the rulers and tape measures to measure length. We've been reading scales to measure weights too.
When you're measuring something, you have to start at zero. Olivia
We measure length in centimetres, metres and kilometres. Jennifer
We measure how heavy things are using grams and kilograms. Eleanor


Last week's Home Learning was fantastic. Mrs McLellan was delighted with the amount of books that came back and the work we did about the digestive system. We used this to help us in science.
We learnt a tricky word -oesophagus. It's the tube your food goes down. Emily
Your food gets broken into tiny pieces. Harry
The large intestine takes all the water away. Vedant 


In games, we've moved on from tennis to football, so we've been learning to dribble a ball with control.


We had a Pedestrian Skills workshop this week. We went on a walk around Redbourn. We talked about the signs and we practised crossing the road safely. You have to look every way that cars come, to check it is clear. You also need to listen for vehicles in case you can't see them! You walk across the road, looking left and right for vehicles. Thank you to the grown ups who helped us.


This week's Star Award is for someone who shows confidence when working in a group. Well done to Edward for getting this.


This week's Learning Owl is Max! He showed good perseverance with his learning - especially when he explained features of living things. He also did some amazing Home Learning and showed what neat handwriting he had. Well done, Max. Have a great weekend with Night.


Our Home Learning this week is to spell the months of the year and days of the week.


We haven't won the Walk with Friends Friday sticker yet :( Mrs McLellan has challenged us all to try and walk next Friday. (Park at the common and walk from there if you live far away!)
