Weekly Update 4.3.22
Posted: Mar 3, 2022 by: Miss Bairstow (d.bairstow) on: Ash Tree Class Blog
Hi,
In English this week we have resumed our work on newspaper writing which we started before half term. The children have been reminding themselves how a newspaper report is organised by completing a newspaper reading comprehension and we have also practised some of the grammatical features we will be using in our writing.
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have continued with their work on fractions by looking at how to add and subtract mixed numbers. Mrs Trotter and Mrs Senior's groups have been learning about area.
The big highlight of this week was celebrating World Book Day on Thursday. It was lovely to see so many children (and staff!) participate in dressing up as their favourite book character and come together to celebrate a love of books and reading.
Here are Ash Tree all dressed up:
We would also like to say a big thank you to everyone who kindly donated books for the book swap and to the PTA for organising this.
All children received a World Book Day token yesterday too which can be redeemed in certain shops for a FREE book. There are 12 completely free books to choose from this year or alternatively the children can redeem their voucher against a full price book to knock £1 off the cost.
The nearest places to redeem the vouchers this year are:

There are several other independent bookshops in Ilkley/Harrogate where you can redeem tokens too. You can use the search function here to find alternative participating retailers from further afield.
Have a great weekend and enjoy reading your new books!
