Maple Class
Term 2
This term, we have continued to explore the idea of history learning more about the 1950s including the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. In Science, we have investigated materials, learning what everyday objects are made from and the properties of the material. We have completed a test to find out what would be the best material for a raincoat or umbrella, and thought about the most appropriate material for a bauble.
In English we have written descriptions and our own stories, while in maths we have tackled addition and subtraction with numbers up to 10 and shape.
We have made collages in art, fruit salad in DT and reminded ourselves about the Christmas Story in RE. We also enjoyed making Christmas Decorations at our workshop with members of our families.
We also managed to squeeze in a visit from some marvellous machines!
Have a peaceful holiday - see you in the New Year!

Term 1
This term we have been learning about the past, beginning to understand what we mean by History and how things change. We have related this to something we know best - toys! We had a visit from Oxfordshire Museum who bought a range of old toys for us to look at and play with, and we also made a toy to take home.
In Art, we have learnt about the colour wheel, particularly primary and secondary colours and created a piece of art using our colour mixing knowledge.
In science, we have learnt about our senses - what they are and why we need them.
Please have a look at the photo's below!
