Weekly Update 21.1.21
Posted: Jan 21, 2022 by: Miss Bairstow (d.bairstow) on: Ash Tree Class Blog
Hello!
This week in English we have started writing our exciting adventure stories based on the video clip "The Ridge". Ash Tree have come up with some really imaginative ideas for their stories and I am looking forward to seeing the finished result next week!
In maths, Mrs Trotter and Mrs Senior's groups have been converting decimals and fractions and will be moving on to percentages next week.
My group have been focusing on formal methods for division and applying these skills to problem solving.
We have also enjoyed reading more of our class guided reading text this week, "King of the Cloud Forests" by Michael Morpurgo. We thought about what it would have been like for the main character, Ashley, to leave the only place he had ever lived and leave his father behind due to the war. We wrote diary entries from Ashley's perspective and Year 6 were able to draw comparisons between this text and another wartime text, "Goodnight Mister Tom" as they read this last year.
See you on Monday!
