    • Maple 1's learning journey

    Welcome to Maple 1's learning journey!! We all had a fantastic Autumn term – enjoying lots of challenges, trying new things and most of all having lots of fun!

    Maths 

    In Maple 1, we LOVE maths.

    Last week, we were busy recapping our Year 2 learning on making equal groups and writing repeated addition to enable us to work out the answer to multiplication sums. 

      

    We have also been working hard to solve word problems. 

    We have been busy estimating answers to addition and subtraction sums. 

       

    Computing 

    This week, we have been busy storytelling on Scratch. 

    Last week, we were busy exploring Scratch. We learnt what a 'Sprite' is and how to make a Sprite move. We also learnt what algorithms are and what coding is. 

      

    RE

    In RE, we have been discussing why the Bible is important for Christians today. We learnt two knowledge nuggets. The Bible is divided into books, chapters, versus and arranged into two 'testaments' and the Bible helps to teach Christians how to live a Christian life.

    Anti-bullying performance and workshop

    We had a special visit from Altru Drama who wanted to teach us all about anti-bullying. We watched a very interesting performance before taking part in a workshop where we discussed how to act in certain scenarios. 

    Geography - Mountains

    In our final lesson, we learnt about the mountain rescue service. We used the skills we had learnt to rescue Maple 2 who got stuck up Scafell Pike!!! Here are some photos from our rescue. 

     

    Freddie Fit

    We had Freddie Fit join us for a fun and energetic workout session. The children were challenged with burpees and squats, and they all had a fantastic time!

               

    Learning Assembly

    Maple 1 put on a wonderful learning performance to showcase all they have achieved this term. From start to finish, every child worked incredibly hard and did so with a smile on their face. They shared their knowledge about the Stone Age, mountains, magnets, forces, and more! They also performed their fantastic Talk for Writing piece, which supported them in writing a narrative about Frank N Stan. Mrs. Dixon is exceptionally proud of them all!

    Science - Rocks and Fossils

    We spent Autumn 1 term learning all about Rocks and Fossils. Did you know that there are 3 types of rocks? Metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary!

    Take a look at our class display which showcases some of our fantastic work and all of our knowledge nuggets. 


     

    History - Stone Age
     
    In Autumn 1, we began our History learning journey back in the Stone Age. We ventured through the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic periods learning so many things along the way!!
