Hi,
This week in English we published our newspaper reports. Ash really enjoyed being reporters over the last few weeks and created some super pieces of work.
In maths, my group completed their unit on fractions and will be moving on to decimals and percentages next week. The children have made excellent progress during our work on fractions this term and seem much more confident. I've been really impressed with their resilient approach to problem solving this week too! Mrs Trotter and Mrs Senior's groups have been focusing on angles this week.
**YEAR 6 RESIDENTIAL**
Our Year 6 residential to Peat Rigg is fast approaching and we have added a PowerPoint presentation with further details about Peat Rigg to the "INFORMATION FOR PARENTS" section on both the Ash and Maple webpages. We will continue to update this section with additional relevant information over the coming weeks. We will also be holding a meeting in school on Monday 28th March 3:30 - 4:00 to give you the opportunity to find out a little more and ask any questions you may have.
Have a great weekend.
Miss Bairstow

Hi,
This week we have been busy writing our newspaper reports about a suspected yeti/bigfoot type creature sighting on the school grounds! Ash Tree went out on Monday morning to look for evidence that the creature had passed through the school site. They have done a fantastic job of writing in the style of journalists and we are looking forwarding to publishing our newspapers and sharing them with you next week.
In maths, my group have been multiplying unit fractions, non-unit fractions and mixed numbers by integers. Mrs Trotter and Mrs Senior's groups have been learning about perimeter, area and volume.
Just a reminder that all children in school received a World Book Day token last week which can be redeemed in certain shops for a FREE book until Sunday 27th March. There are 12 completely free books to choose from this year or alternatively the children can redeem their voucher against a full price book to knock £1 off the cost.

Hi,
In English this week we have resumed our work on newspaper writing which we started before half term. The children have been reminding themselves how a newspaper report is organised by completing a newspaper reading comprehension and we have also practised some of the grammatical features we will be using in our writing.
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have continued with their work on fractions by looking at how to add and subtract mixed numbers. Mrs Trotter and Mrs Senior's groups have been learning about area.
The big highlight of this week was celebrating World Book Day on Thursday. It was lovely to see so many children (and staff!) participate in dressing up as their favourite book character and come together to celebrate a love of books and reading.
Here are Ash Tree all dressed up:
We would also like to say a big thank you to everyone who kindly donated books for the book swap and to the PTA for organising this.
