Weekly Update 17.3.23

Hi,
This week we were very lucky to receive a visit from the U.K's only Maya archaeologist and expert - Dr Diane Davies. Dr Diane spent the morning with UKS2 and led a fascinating, interactive talk in the hall and also workshops in the classrooms. Ash Tree really enjoyed learning more about the Maya and busting some myths! The children were even able handle some very precious artefacts and practise their own archaeology skills. Dr Diane picked out a small handful of Maya experts too who she said were more than welcome to join her team in the future!
We held a meeting for parents on Tuesday of this week about the upcoming Y6 residential. We have uploaded the PowerPoint we shared and the parent information booklet onto both the Ash and Maple Tree Class homepages under the "Useful Documents" section. If you did not attend the meeting, your child will also be sent home with a paper copy of the booklet this week. It is not long now until we go to Peat Rigg so if you do have any further questions about this trip please get in touch ASAP.
Have a good weekend!
Miss Bairstow
