Hello!
I would like to start this week by saying a huge well done to the whole of Y6 for their amazing efforts this week completing their SATs! We enjoyed some well deserved "fun" lessons on Friday after the last test and did some art, P.E with Mr Spence and the rest of Maple class and finished with our favourite Friday activity - Boomwhackers!
I am also very proud of the Year 5 children in Ash as I have had nothing but glowing, positive feedback from all the adults who have taught them this week. They spent the majority of their mornings with Mr Smith learning our half termly poem, Macavity the Mystery Cat by T.S Eliot and completing some statistics maths work.
Have a good weekend and a well deserved rest and see you Monday!

Hi,
The Y6 children in Ash have worked hard this week in the final preparations for the SATs (Standard Assessment Tests) next week and we have been pleased to see the progress they have made. It is particularly important that children arrive promptly at school every day next week so the Year 6 cohort can complete the assessments together. We are running a Breakfast Club in the hall each morning next week so children can arrive at school and come to the main hall (the side doors will be open) around 8:30am. I have spoken to the children about the importance of getting a good night's sleep.
Year 5 will need to enter at the usual time, using the usual door. Mr Smith will greet them and take them to the community room with all of their things.
After all of the hard work the children have put in this week, we enjoyed some time "off timetable" on Friday afternoon to complete some coronation themed activities.

Have (another!) lovely bank holiday weekend and see you on Tuesday.

Hi,
The first thing I would like to share with you this week is the gallery of pictures from our amazing trip to Peat Rigg. The link below will take you directly to the gallery on the school website.

This week in English we have been writing formal thank you letters. The Y6 children who went to Peat Rigg have been writing to the staff there and the Y5 children and any Y6 children who did not go to Peat Rigg have been writing to Mr Smith who taught them whilst we were away.
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have been recapping area and perimeter. Mrs Trotter's group have been learning about angles.
I would also like to remind you how important it is that Year 6 children return any homework they are set each week. It is a good way for them to consolidate their learning and also teaches them how manage their time and work independently before they go to high school. Please ask your child about their homework to ensure they remember to complete it and hand it in on time.
Have a good weekend and enjoy the extra day for the bank holiday!
Miss Bairstow
