Weekly Update 16.6.23
Posted: Jun 16, 2023 by: Miss Bairstow (d.bairstow) on: Ash Tree Class Blog
Hi,
This week we have been feeling the heat upstairs in Ash Tree! Please make sure if this lovely weather continues your child has a named water bottle in school every day and any other things they may need like suncream/hat.
We enjoyed finishing our leaflets in English and publishing them with some beautiful illustrations.
In maths, Mrs Trotter's group have been problem solving and completing a White Rose maths Year 6 project called "The Bakery". Miss Bairstow's group have been measuring angles by learning how to use a protractor correctly.
In science on Thursday we continued learning about the heart and its function by completing a heart rate experiment. The children worked in pairs to take their resting pulse rate and then one partner did 2 minutes of exercise and they measured their pulse rate again with the other partner working out the BPM (beats per minute) to see how exercise affected heart rate.
In other news... Year 6 are very excited for their first "Grow a Fiver" market day on Monday. I am excited to see their projects and if they make good entrepreneurs! And some children in Year 5 are thrilled to have started Year 6 book club early this year and received their first book on Tuesday! In order for the club to run successfully, please make sure if your child has a book they take good care of it and it is always in school.
Enjoy the weekend!
Miss Bairstow :)
