Hello, 

Another busy week - we will probably be saying this for the next 5 weeks! 

In English, we have been continuing to write persuasive leaflets for either Yeadon Tarn or Peat Rigg. Y5 have completed their final assessment week of the year so well done to them! Y6 have been busy starting to look at scripts for their production and making a start with their "grow a fiver" projects. 

We were lucky with the weather on Wednesday for sports day and will upload some pictures ASAP. 

Have a lovely weekend!

Hello, 

We have had a great first week back! 

In English, we have been writing persuasive leaflets for either Yeadon Tarn or Peat Rigg. In Maths, we have been measuring angles and looking at profit and loss. We are well underway with our guided reading novel, Darwin's Dragons and have started our new art topic - birds. We also had some rugby coaching sessions this afternoon delivered by White Rose rugby which will be continuing throughout the half term. 

Sports Day is next Wednesday so please keep an eye on the weather and send your child with the appropriate resources. 

Have a lovely weekend!

Hello!
Ash Tree class have been busy this week completing their DT project "Automata Animals". Our design brief was to create a collection of moving animal models to captivate people's interest and raise awareness of endangered rainforest animals. The children worked in pairs throughout our two DT build days and demonstrated amazing teamwork during this challenging project! 
You can see a full gallery of our finished products here: https://www.ruffordparkprimary.org.uk/classes/year5-6ash/automata-animals-2025-ash-tree 
This morning we also took part in an orienteering session and learnt lots about mapwork and had to utilise our teamwork skills again! Some children also went to a Triathalon event today with Mr Spence and Mrs Senior.
This has been a very short but very VERY busy half term... we can't believe when we come back we will be entering our final half term of the year! 
Have a great break and see you soon :)

Hello, 

We would like to start with a big well done to all of our Year 6 children this week who have completed their SATs! Woohooooo! They really have been fantastic and approached this important primary school milestone with sensible and mature attitudes. 

I haven't seen much of the Year 5 children in Ash Tree this week as they have been taught by other adults in school whilst SATs were underway but all reports from whoever taught them have been fantastically positive too! 

Have a lovely weekend and well deserved rest! 

See you next week for the last week of the half term! Eek! 

Miss Bairstow :)

Hello, 

We have had a very busy week as Year 6 have completed their final preparation for SATs next week! Please make sure your child arrives before 8.30 to SATs breakfast club next week if they are wanting to eat. 

Y5 have been writing some excellent postcards from the perspective of a Maya archaeologist - just like Dr Dianne who visited us before Easter! Have a look below at some of their fantastic work. They really enjoyed creating their own designs for the front of their postcards! 

Have a great weekend and enjoy the sunshine! 

Miss Bairstow :)
