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!

Welcome back!
We have had a great first week back and enjoyed our topic launch day on Wednesday. Our new topic is Rivers and Mountains and we will also be looking at comparing our local area to the western U.S.A. The children in UKS2 rotated around all three classrooms during the day to complete three different activities linked to our new topic.
It has been a busy start back with Young Voices taking place on Monday and an under 11's football cup fixture on Tuesday. Well done to all the children in Ash who took part in these events!
In English, we have been gathering information about Leeds and its twin towns and cities as we will be writing a non-chronological report comparing the two over the next few weeks.
In maths, both groups have continued their work on fractions.
Have a great weekend.
Miss Bairstow
