Hi,
A super start to the half-term!
The children began their next writing focus by exploring the features of non-chronological reports. This piece of writing will be linked to our World War Two topic and will involve researching the role of women in World War Two.
We had a great afternoon on Wednesday when all of UKS2 enjoyed tasting a variety of foods that would have been available during World War Two. This is part of our Design and Technology curriculum and the children will be using these foods to inspire them to create a recipe that could have been cooked whilst ingredients were rationed. We are hoping to post some photographs of this afternoon on Facebook once we have checked all permissions - keep checking for this next week!
A number of children also completed the optional homework of creating a shelter in a shoebox! Well done to those children; they were incredibly creative and we hope to display these in our Living Museum that will take place on Wednesday 20th November. This will be another opportunity for all of UKS2 to work together.
Continuing with the WW2 topic, on Monday, we will be walking to the Town Hall to begin our enquiry question of ‘Why we remember’. Hopefully, the children have had the opportunity to buy a poppy to wear on this day to help reflect this act of remembrance.
Have a lovely weekend
Miss Bairstow :)

Hello,
We have finally reached the end of our longest half term of the year! We have had a great first 8 weeks settling in to Ash Tree class 24-25!
This week we finally finished our evacuee diaries and are excited to display these in school. We also started learning about the features of non-chronological reports as we will be writing our own after half term.
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have moved onto multiplication and division, while Mrs Trotter's group have been learning about fractions.
Have a lovely half term break and see you after the holidays!
Miss Bairstow :)

Hello,
7 weeks down... 1 to go!
This week in English we have enjoyed writing up our final drafts of our WW2 diary entries.
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have been recapping formal methods for addition and subtraction and practising solving multi-step problems linked to this. Mrs Trotter's group have been learning about fractions.
I have received lots more WW2 cooking pictures this week as part of our additional topic homework challenge which is fantastic! Keep them coming!
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Bairstow :)
