It is the start of December and we are all very excited about Christmas in Maple! Today we have helped to decorate the Christmas tree in the hall. We have also started our advent calendar in Maple.
In English, we have been looking at the traditional tale Little Red Riding Hood. We created a character description about The Big Bad Wolf. John thinks that 'The wolf is greedy because he ate Granny up'. Deahn read a different version of the story during Guided Reading and said that Granny ran through the back door and escaped. We thought of similies to describe the wolf's appearance. Liam said 'His teeth are as sharp as razors'.
In Maths, we have been learning about division. When we divide we share into equal groups. We have learnt different strategies to help us solve division problems including sharing out multilink, groupings and arrays in our books. We now know that divided by 2 is the same as halving.
In Games, we have continued to practise our hockey skills. This week we have been learning to shoot accurately and pass the ball as a team.
Well done to Liam who is Star of the week for being a kind and caring friend. Luca has taken home Night for his wonderful attitude towards his writing.
REMINDER:
Next Wednesday it is Maple's turn for Forest School. Please make sure you have wellington boots and a warm coat.
I enjoyed making a character description and seeing who was getting the chocolate from the advent calendar.william M
