Hi,
This week in English we have finishing writing our information texts about the different layers in the rainforest. We had some excellent handwriting in Ash and are so excited to display our work.
In maths, Mrs Trotter's group have been learning about decimals and Miss Bairstow's group have been continuing with their lessons on fractions.
Have a good weekend and remember not to come to school on Monday!

Hi,
This week in English we have been writing our information texts about the different layers in the rainforest. I have been so impressed with the research Ash tree conducted and the amazing information they have included in their reports.
In maths, Mrs Trotter's group have been learning about decimals and Miss Bairstow's group have been continuing with their lessons on fractions.
On Tuesday, several members of Ash took part in a Year 5/6 athletics event at Leeds Trinity University and both Mr Spence and Mr Cooke said how well they represented the school. We are very proud of them all!
Have a good weekend!

Hello and welcome back!
Although we have had a slightly shorter week this week, we have made a great start to the new term and got stuck into our new topic "Rainforests". Ash Tree have been so enthusiastic when discussing our new topic and I am sure will produce some excellent pieces of work linked to this fascinating topic.
So far, we have started researching and planning a non-fiction piece of writing about the different layers of the rainforest, reading our new guided reading text (The Explorer by Katherine Rundell), and completed our first topic lesson about what we know already and learning some topic specific vocabulary.
Next week we are hoping to make our own rainforest biomes so please send any empty/washed out plastic bottles into school ASAP. The bigger the better for this project! A 2 litre coke/lemonade bottle is ideal!
In maths, all children have been continuing to learn about fractions.
Before the holidays, all children in UKS2 were set an optional homework challenge and given a recipe book featuring WW2 inspired rationed recipes. They were encouraged to complete as many of the 11 recipes as possible and today we revealed the overall winner in assembly! Max completed all 11 wartime recipes plus a twelfth WW2 recipe of his own choice. For Max's fantastic effort and enthusiasm he won a (non rationed!) Percy Pig blondie baking kit. Well done Max!
Have a good weekend.
