A fantastic launch to our sports week culminating in Sports Day on Friday (weather permitting.)
Thank you to all the parents that came and modelled the importance of regular exercise. Please see the link below to find out more about the Daily Mile (Fit for 15.)
Here is the whole of Maple Cross JMI exercising for 15 minutes!
Thank you to everyone who was able to come a little early to school to celebrate reading with the children. Some lovely feedback and we will try to run the event again after Sports Week. We will also see if we can make it work in Buddy Families so that families can celebrate reading together.
Great to see so many parents and carers learning with their children. Thank you for coming!
It was great to meet many new (and known) parents/carers this morning/tonight at our EYFS welcome workshop. We aimed to provide more information about what learning in the EYFS looks like and how this can be supported at home. Below are the resources we used today.
If you were unable to attend please make sure you sign up for a home visit and come and speak to us about any questions or queries you may have.
This morning in Year 4, we showed how we value our learning during active maths. We were practicing counting in different multiples and from different starting numbers. We were counting as we were hitting, throwing, catching and skipping. Mrs Francis was impressed with our multitasking!
Year 4, what was the trickiest multiple you counted in?
Thank you to those who were able to attend the PGL meeting yesterday evening. I hope it was useful. For those who were unable to attend, the children will be coming home with a detailed letter explaining the payments for the trip. If you have any questions at all, please come and speak to either myself or Mrs Wilson before the 6th July 2017 as we require final numbers by this date.
As requested, the PowerPoint used is uploaded.
Linking in with the sad events of the Grenfell tower fire, Y3 has been discussing and exploring what to do when in a fire. The children went around the school looking for objects that would help keep us safe. We have also discussed what to do if there was a fire at home.
What would you do, Year 3, if there was a fire at home?
Today Y5 came into Y3 as ICT experts to show us how to use the explain everything app which links to our class project of fire safety. Y5 used everything they know about communicating clearly when explaining, to help the Y3 children use the app.
Year 3, what was your favourite feature you learnt to you on the app?
