Hello and welcome back!
It has been so lovely to see all the members of Ash in school again this week. We hope you all had a relaxing break.
Everyone has worked hard this week and made a great start to the new term!
We have started learning about our new topic "Mountains and Rivers" and have been completing some writing activities in English linked to this.
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have been practising the column method of short multiplication and will be moving on to long multiplication next week. This unit of work heavily relies on children having secure recall of all their times table facts to 12 in order to be working at age related expectations. At Rufford Park and nationally, the expectation is that children have this understanding by the end of Year 4. Please practise times tables regularly at home if this is something your child is not yet confident with to ensure they make maximum progress in school.
Mrs Trotter's group have been learning about decimals up to 3 decimal places.
Please remember Y5/6 football and netball club both resume next week.
Have a great weekend!
Miss Bairstow

Hello!
We have made it to the end of a very busy term and ended with a very very busy week!
Year 5/6 have been involved in not one, not two but four performances of The Snow Queen this week. The Year 5's made excellent ice sprites and robbers and the Year 6 choir did a super job of welcoming the audience.
We have been creative in the classroom this week and the children have made some beautiful Christmas cards and calendars.
We had a great Christmas party on Wednesday and all looked festive in our Christmas jumpers today!
Merry Christmas from Ash Tree!
The children have worked incredibly hard this term and we are so impressed with the progress they have made so far. We would like to thank you for all of your help and support and for all of the kind gifts we have received.
Have a great Christmas holidays and see you in the new year! :)

Hello!
We have had another busy, busy week in Year 5/6!
On Tuesday, we enjoyed watching the KS1 dress rehearsal and Year 5 have been attending more rehearsals for their part in the KS2 performance of The Snow Queen. If your child has not yet brought in a costume for the performance please see the notes below for ideas. Costumes must be in school on Monday for the dress rehearsal.
In our maths lessons this week, we have been addressing misconceptions highlighted by our recent assessments and recapping some basic skills.
In English, we have been completing a piece of independent writing based on the Anthony Browne book, The Tunnel. I have enjoyed reading the stories and seeing where the different tunnels led!
Have a great weekend and see you on Monday for our final week of Autumn term!
Miss Bairstow :)
