Hello!
This week we have been starting to learn about Charles Dickens and in particular, Oliver Twist. We will be writing some character descriptions linked to this over the next two weeks.
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have really impressed with their work converting improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa. Mrs Trotter's group have been multiplying fractions.
On Friday afternoon, we had great fun testing different marble runs to help inform the design process for our own runs!
Have a good weekend!

Hello,
We can't believe we are already in December! Ash Tree have worked incredibly hard this week as we have been completing our termly assessments. We are so proud of the hard work they have put in to show everything they have learnt so far.
In between assessments, we have been finishing off our Thomas Barnardo biographies and taken great care over publishing them neatly. We have continued to learn different skills to help build our marble runs and have been looking at how to create bends. We are looking forward to seeing how our marble runs evolve over the next few weeks! Please keep sending in cardboard tubes as we are still collecting them. We have continued reading our class text, Street Child, and are now up to Chapter 22 (just far enough to make sure we finish by Christmas!).
Have a great weekend!
Miss Bairstow :)

Hello!
To start with this week we would like to remind everyone about the Christmas Fayre this Saturday! Thank you for all your donations! You can find all the details and timings for the fayre here: https://www.ruffordparkprimary.org.uk/information/pta
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have started to work on fractions and have been learning about equivalent fractions. Times table knowledge is so important to this unit so please make sure your child is practising regularly at home if they are not yet confident with their times table recall.
In English, we finished writing our biographies about Dr Thomas Barnardo and the work he did for children in the Victorian era. Ash Tree adopted this formal style of writing very well and did a fantastic job of using WAGOLL words and phrases we shared together in their work.
This afternoon, we were busy making marble run bridges and learning different skills to work out the most successful way to join cardboard tubes together. We are looking forward to seeing how our marble runs evolve over the next few weeks! Please keep sending in cardboard tubes as we are still collecting them.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the Christmas Fayre!
Miss Bairstow :)
