Weekly Update 30.1.25
Posted: Jan 30, 2026 by: Mrs Trotter (l.trotter) on: Ash Tree Class Blog
Hi,
A focus on arithmetic skills in my maths group this week. Short division has been mastered. A secure times table knowledge is essential for this an so many aspects of maths. Children need to continue to practice the times tables to ensure a quick recall. We return to fractions work next week where these quick recall skills are required.
In English, the children have been using bullet points and brackets for additional information in their non-chronological report writing which will be ready to publish next week.
Our Geography lesson was on identifying features of Yorkshire and the Humber. The children enjoyed using atlases to find some of these features.
We also spent time creating a piece of art work on the theme of the Bridging Generations. This work will be displayed in school, to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day (27th January) – we also enjoyed seeing this event mentioned on the BBC’s Newsround programme. We were really touched by the sensitive and mature approach the children had towards this subject.
The half-term is whizzing by...
Enjoy the weekend
Mrs Trotter
