Weekly Update 12.9.25
Posted: Sep 12, 2025 by: Mrs Trotter (l.trotter) on: Ash Tree Class Blog
Hello,
Another super week in Ash Tree Class.
We continued to recap on various aspects of grammar in preparation for our first extended piece of writing. In maths, place value is the focus for the next few weeks.
To launch the Victorians history topic the class enjoyed watching some Horrible Histories. We discussed the local philanthropist Sir Titus Salt and were amazed by the many inventions from the Victorian era. Ask your child how many they can remember? In PE, hockey skills are being developed and we managed to enjoy an outside lesson before the heavens opened on Thursday afternoon.
In the next few weeks, we will start our Design and Technology project on structures. Please could kitchen roll inners be collected and brought into school to help with this project. We will need lots!
We have also discussed the forthcoming trip to Armley Mills ( Year 5 - Thursday 25th September and Year 6 - Friday 26th September) and Victorian costume possibilities that are easily adapted from our school uniform.
BOYS: school shoes, dark trousers (school trousers are perfect), white shirt and a waistcoat (if they have one)
GIRLS: school shoes, dark skirt, long socks/dark tights, hair tied back with ribbons or plaits/ringlets
Have a lovely weekend.
Mrs Trotter
