Good afternoon!
I hope this blog finds you well. We are fast approaching the end of the school year and, despite working remotely, the children have completed some excellent work this week!
We finished reading 'Stig of the Dump' this week and the children handed in some excellent work. If your child has not caught up yet, listen to the final chapter here.
Here is an example of superb maths work linked to area and perimeter...
Here is some wonderful artwork...
Here we are joining Mr Kyriacou and Willow class for a Science investigation update...
Many of the children also enjoyed meeting their new class teacher, Mr Ranton, this morning. If your child is in Ash next year, Miss Bairstow will pop in to say hello next week!
Though the children took part in some Sports Day challenges remotely, they will also have an extra-fun session next Thursday where they will race against each other. The children's last swimming session will be next Friday.
Finally, something we would like as many of you as possible to get involved in this year is the Summer Reading Challenge:
Summer Reading Challenge – Sign up Saturday!
Saturday 10th July!
The Summer Reading Challenge encourages children aged 4 -11 to enjoy the benefits of reading for pleasure and prevent the summer reading ‘dip’. This year, even more than in any other year, it is important to encourage pupils to be reading over the summer. The Challenge is for children to borrow and read six books over the summer at their local library. This year the theme is all about nature and will inspire children to think about how they can look after their planet whilst helping to maintain their reading level over the summer holidays. Once they have read their sixth book, they complete the challenge and will be awarded a certificate and gold medal, which they can proudly take to school in September.
Children and their parents can go to their local library or online and sign up this Saturday to start their Summer Reading Challenge.

That's all for now!
Take care and I look forward to seeing the children back in school on Monday,
