Spring Term 2021
Well done for a really positive first week back! I am SO proud of all the learners at home and at school. Your children are fabulous! I can't wait to have all the Maple children back in school and I have lots of lovely learning ready for them.
Here are some of the tongue twisters we have been practising during our registration meetings if you want to have additional practice at home:
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
Whether the weather be fine or whether the weather be not, whether the weather be cold or whether the weather be hot, we'll weather the weather whatever the weather, whether we like it or not.
Betty Botter bought some butter but the butter Betty Botter bought was bitter, so Betty Botter bought some better butter to make the bitter butter better.

Year 2 and 3 Week 2 Resources
Extension Maths
Maple Class love dipping a toe into "Danger!" Below are some problems which should offer some stretch to those who are brave enough in Year 2 and Year 3! I have updated the documents below. The first set focus on Year 3 objectives but I know that some of my Year 2's will be able to solve some of them too. The second set have a Year 2 bias.
This half-term we are beginning to explore our new book, 'On a Magical Do-Nothing Day' by Beatrice Alemagna.
"All I want to do on a rainy day like today is stay inside and play my game. The game drives Mum mad, and she takes it away. I take it back and dash outside - but splash! Disaster strikes. Without my game, nothing is fun. Well, let's see. Maybe I'm wrong about that....."
This week, we are thinking about the pros and cons of living in an urban or rural area and writing a persuasive piece of writing based on this.
I have added some reading bookmarks below to support parents in asking their child questions about the book or text that he/she is reading. There are some useful question starters on them, and these are questions that your child is used to being asked in school.
You are now logged onto www.getepic.com and have access to online books whenever you want! I have not allocated books but can see how often you are enjoying the books on there.
In addition to this, the BBC have just created a virtual library giving children free book access via https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-55692137.
READING COMPREHENSIONS
The documents below are LARGE and cover a whole school year! Please choose one which appeals to your child. It could be read online and answers recorded on paper or you could just print the individual text off. The answers are in the separate attached documents. Please dip in daily.
Please find the spelling lists for both Year 2 and 3 for Spring Term 1. Test at the end of the week if you are able, give your child the new spellings and then they have a week to practise on Spelling Shed etc for their next test. Thank you!

Phonics Week Commencing 1.03.2021
This half-term, we are sharing a daily class prayer about forgiveness. For each day, I will add a quotation or message for you to consider. Maple children can then create a prayer which we can share at our daily assemblies!
MONDAY - "We need to forgive others, because God always forgives us."
TUESDAY - "Sometimes we forgive, not because we are wrong, but because staying angry robs us of happiness."
WEDNESDAY - "Forgiveness is not easy, yet there is no peace without forgiveness."
THURSDAY - "Forgiveness is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself."
FRIDAY - "There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love." – Bryant H. McGill.
