Hello,
We have had another busy week settling into Year 6. Everyone has worked super hard and I am really proud of them. This week is the first week the Year 6 children have received all of their homework including spellings, grammar, reading and maths. Please make sure this is done and returned by Wednesday.
Our trip to Armley Mills is soon approaching - Y6 will be going on Friday 26th September. All children will come to school at the normal time and will return to school for the end of the school day.
Armley Mills encourage all children to come dressed as Victorians. The visit is more authentic if the children are in costume. Pinafores and waistcoats may be provided by Armley Mills; however, children are requested to come to school wearing the following on the day of the visit:
Boys: dark trousers (no jeans), white shirt with a collar and a waistcoat if they have one.
Girls: dark skirt, white top, long socks or dark tights and a pinafore if they have one. Hair tied back with ribbons or in plaits/ringlets.
In keeping with the day, dark school shoes are also recommended.
Children will need to bring a packed lunch (please do not bring food containing nuts as do have children with severe allergies, and no glass bottles). If you are entitled to free school meals and would like school to provide a packed lunch, please contact the school office.
Have a great weekend.

Hello,
We have had a great first week! It has been strange getting used to teaching just Year 6 and calling them Maple instead of Ash - but I am sure we will get there!
We have done lots of revision work of basics in English and maths, introduced our topic, looked at our new guided reading text and even completed a whole Y5 and Y6 rounders afternoon on the field today!
We are looking forward to next week!
Have a super weekend.
Miss Bairstow :)

Hello,
We made it! We have had a fantastic year in Ash Tree class and I will be very sad to see some of them go... but also very excited to keep the Y5 children for another year next year in Y6!
Thank you so much for all the lovely gifts and cards we received in UKS2 - your support is very much appreciated.
Most importantly, we need to say a big goodbye to our 2025 Year 6 cohort! As Mr Cooke said earlier this week at the Leavers' production, they have been a fantastic group to work with and will be very much missed! We are so proud of everything they have achieved this year and wish them all the best for their new starts at their various secondary schools.
Here is a gallery of pictures of our "Class of 2025" showing off their leavers' hoodies last week!

Have a fabulous summer everyone and see some of you in September!
