Hi,
This week Ash Tree have had a very exciting (and creative!) week.
Firstly, we had a visit from a local artist on Tuesday morning who helped us to start our new art unit - Wildlife (Birds). He helped us develop our skills drawing birds and feathers in pencil and also shared some of his own artwork with us for inspiration! We are looking forward to applying what we learnt to the rest of our artwork this term.
Later in the week we also finished our DT automata animals project. Our design brief was to create a collection of appealing moving mechanical models (automata animals) that will captivate people's interest in endangered animals. I think we achieved this very well! If you would like to see our models in more detail click here.
The Year 6 Leavers' Hoodies are now available to order from PC Sports . Please click on the link below.
Thank you to the Friends of Rufford Park for providing the funds for these. All orders need to be made by Friday 2nd June so they can be delivered to school by before the end of June.
Have a good weekend.

Hello!
I would like to start this week by saying a huge well done to the whole of Y6 for their amazing efforts this week completing their SATs! We enjoyed some well deserved "fun" lessons on Friday after the last test and did some art, P.E with Mr Spence and the rest of Maple class and finished with our favourite Friday activity - Boomwhackers!
I am also very proud of the Year 5 children in Ash as I have had nothing but glowing, positive feedback from all the adults who have taught them this week. They spent the majority of their mornings with Mr Smith learning our half termly poem, Macavity the Mystery Cat by T.S Eliot and completing some statistics maths work.
Have a good weekend and a well deserved rest and see you Monday!

Hi,
The Y6 children in Ash have worked hard this week in the final preparations for the SATs (Standard Assessment Tests) next week and we have been pleased to see the progress they have made. It is particularly important that children arrive promptly at school every day next week so the Year 6 cohort can complete the assessments together. We are running a Breakfast Club in the hall each morning next week so children can arrive at school and come to the main hall (the side doors will be open) around 8:30am. I have spoken to the children about the importance of getting a good night's sleep.
Year 5 will need to enter at the usual time, using the usual door. Mr Smith will greet them and take them to the community room with all of their things.
After all of the hard work the children have put in this week, we enjoyed some time "off timetable" on Friday afternoon to complete some coronation themed activities.

Have (another!) lovely bank holiday weekend and see you on Tuesday.
