Hello!
This week we finished our non-chronological reports in English, really got into our class guided reading text "King of the Cloud Forests" and continued working hard in maths lessons!
On Wednesday morning, several children from Year 5 and 6 took part in a “Come and Try” ice skating event at Planet Ice. Several of the children had never been ice skating before but by the end of our session they were skating independently. Everyone (including staff!) had a great time and all the children said they had fun and would definitely try ice skating again! Here are some of our skaters in action:
Next week is another busy week for school sport with judo, cross country and football events all taking place!
Have a great weekend!

Hello,
This week we have been busy finishing off our non-chronological reports. Next week we will be publishing them and are excited to display our finished work in school!
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have been recapping multiplication and division methods and Mrs Trotter's group have been learning about fractions, decimals and percentages.
On Friday, we had a particularly busy afternoon as we completed a science investigation looking at the properties of different materials as we investigated the magnetism, transparency, permeability, flexibility and hardness of different materials. We then spent some time finishing our art from our lesson last week. Our new art unit is North American Art - Landscapes and we were looking at the artist John Singer Sargent's work and completing a task which involved "drawing the other half" of one of his paintings. Have a look below at a great example of one of our sketchbooks:
Have a good weekend!

Hello!
We are back into the swing of things and adjusting to our new topics and routines!
This week in English, we have started writing our non-chronological reports comparing Leeds and a twin town/city.
In maths, Mrs Trotter's group have been learning about decimals and Miss Bairstow's group have been working on adding and subtracting mixed numbers. This is a tricky concept as there are lots of steps involved in working through each calculation to get to the final answer but my maths group have really impressed me with their accuracy and attention to detail in their working out!
Ash Tree P.E days have now moved to Tuesday and Wednesday.
Have a good weekend!
