Hi,
A busy week of ancient Greek drama, food tasting and myth writing!
Year 6 also held their first Market Day Event for the 'Grow a £5' challenge. The children were extremely creative and are now looking forward to the next event on Wednesday 17th June.
I have also spoken to children in Year 5 about the opportunity to take part in a competition to become the next Leeds Children's Mayor.

This is an optional homework activity that must be completed by Monday 22nd June 2026 if your child wishes to be considered.
A very soggy week. Hopefully we have a drier weekend!

Y5/6 Sweet Stake
Mrs Trotter (l.trotter) on: Ash Tree Class Blog
Hi parents,
With the World Cup approaching, I have organised a Y5/6 Sweet Stake!
It is hoped that the children will bring in a small sweet donation (like a couple of Maoam chews or a small Haribo pkt) and they can then draw a team name out of the basket.
It should be a fun way for us all to get involved - and with the Final being played the day after we break up for the summer hols (woohoo!), the two finalist teams can share the sweets between them.
Hope this is ok! Looking forward to your support!

Hi,
A busy first week of the final half term.
Despite the changeable weather conditions Sports' Day went ahead as planned. The children coped well with the soggy conditions and enjoyed the afternoon. The overall House winner will be announced in assembly on Friday.
In class, the children completed their leaflet writing and are now preparing to write a Greek myth. They will be supported with this by a drama workshop next week. In maths, Year 5 are working on perimeter and Year 6 are preparing for the 'Grow a £5' challenge. The first Market Day Event is on Monday 8th June, after school in the hall.
UKS2 also received an important Fire Safety Talk on Thursday. Please take some time to look at their website. West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service
A reminder for Year 6 parents/carers to complete the registration for Bikeability. This is done online using the Bikeability Consent Letter 2026 (1).docx
Registration needs to be completed by Friday 12th June.
Have a nice weekend

Hello,
A huge well done to the children in Year Six! Everyone completed their SATs this week with both a positive and mature attitude. The children have enjoyed a more relaxed end to the week and we have a number of lovely activities/events planned in the weeks ahead.
Also, a big thank you to all of the staff who have supported the children through this process and helped this week by providing breakfast each morning. It created a calm and purposeful atmosphere.
The children in Year 5 Ash relocated to the Community Room for their learning this week. They have been praised for their excellent behaviour and attitude.
Year six children will be taking two letters home today regarding 'Grow a £5' and Bikeabilty. The parental consent form for Grow a £5 needs to be returned by Monday 18th May so that the children can prepare for their first Market Day event on Monday 8th June.
Parents also need to complete the relevant details on Bikeability through scanning the QR code that is on the letter.

Year 6 have been presented with their Leavers' Hoodies in Friday assembly today. This event has been much anticipated! The children can wear these hoodies on PE Days for the time being. The teaching staff will advise the children when they can be worn on additional days.
A busy time in Ash Tree Class, now for a relaxing weekend!
