Hi,
A shorter but, as always, a busy week.
Ash Tree Class have started to learn about the features of biographical writing and learning about the life of the famous Victorian, Thomas Barnardo.
The class also enjoyed learning about crime and punishment in this era.
In maths, my group have completed one of the units on multiplication and division and have started work on fractions which will continue for the rest of this term.
As part of the preparation for the Victorian Christmas Assembly it has been funny to hear some of the Victorian jokes - keep them coming in.
Enjoy the longer weekend

Hi,
What a busy week for UKS2 in school! Remembrance Assembly, Mindmate Assembly, Anti-bullying Week, cross country, Open Day for new reception parents, cinema trip, Children in Need Day, FORP activity of designing Christmas Cards and lots of learning in lessons!
Ash Tree Class worked hard this week to complete their poetry writing. The children have really enjoyed this and this shows in the fantastic poems. In maths, my group has been working on understanding square and cube numbers and multiplying by 10,100 and 1000. We will continue with this next week. Miss Bairstow's maths group have been working on fractions.
Following the MindMate assembly on Tuesday, the class completed a PSHE lesson on identifying unhealthy relationships and how to deal with these.
It has been a rainy end to the week. Just a reminder for children to bring a warm and waterproof coat to school every day. A spare pair of socks is also a good idea!
Fingers crossed for a drier weekend.

Hello,
Ash Tree Class made a great start to the half-term.
The children have been busy working in pairs to write a poem about Victorian mills using onomatopoeia, continuing the link to their trip to Armley Mills.
In preparation for Remembrance Day, the class worked together to make a poppy wreath and learned about the people that the Poppy Appeal supports.
Have a great weekend.

Hello,
We have reached the half term holidays. Ash Tree Class Class have made a super start to the academic year.
With Mrs Ward on Thursday, the children looked at different ways of communicating online and talking about which methods of communication were the most appropriate in different situations (and also whether or not they were safe/private/age appropriate). The children had some great discussions as they moved around the classroom. In Science, the children did an experiment to find out the effects of surface area on water resistance.
Enjoy the half term break.
