Green Day!

On Wednesday, we celebrated Green Day. We came to school dressed in green and we weren't allowed to use any electricity. We had to do activities that didn't need electricity. It was also World Wind Day, so we all made a kite to fly.


In English, we had to research a country that takes part in the Olympics. We created mind maps, wrote reports and created the country's flag. We also found out about a sports person from that country.


In maths, we read the story 'The Five Creatures.' Then we had to use the style of the story to write a number story about our families.
I have 5 creatures. 1 of us sings in the shower, 4 do not. Jennifer
I have 5 creatures. 2 of mine argue. 3 don't. Adi
I have 7 creatures. 6 have 2 legs, the other one has 4 legs. Isaac


We also had the chance to write our own trick that Mr or Mrs Twit might play. We had lots of fun and disgusting ideas that made the grown ups in Maple laugh!


We have taken home Roald Dahl books to read. When we've finished our first book, we can go to Mrs Byrne to talk about it and get a Bookworm badge. Well done, Amy for being the first person in Maple to do this.


Our Home Learning is to practise our words for the play, because we are starting practising next week.


It's Sports Day on Wednesday, so we need to come to school in our PE kits. We should bring our uniform to get changed into afterwards. Everyone needs a water bottle.  Mums and Dads, remember you can get a bacon sandwich before Sports Day starts, so bring your money!


The Learning Owl this week is Grace. Mrs McLellan is really proud of Grace because she has been working independently and taken risks in her learning. Well done, Grace. Have a nice weekend with Night


Every single one of us could have won the Star Award this week as we've all been getting better with our learning. Well done to Riley, though who got the certificate for trying really hard and believing in himself.
