Hello and welcome back!
Although we have had a slightly shorter week this week, we have made a great start to the new term and got stuck into our new topic "Rainforests". Ash Tree have been so enthusiastic when discussing our new topic and I am sure will produce some excellent pieces of work linked to this fascinating topic.
So far, we have started researching and planning a non-fiction piece of writing about the different layers of the rainforest, reading our new guided reading text (The Explorer by Katherine Rundell), and completed our first topic lesson about what we know already and learning some topic specific vocabulary.
Next week we are hoping to make our own rainforest biomes so please send any empty/washed out plastic bottles into school ASAP. The bigger the better for this project! A 2 litre coke/lemonade bottle is ideal!
In maths, all children have been continuing to learn about fractions.
Before the holidays, all children in UKS2 were set an optional homework challenge and given a recipe book featuring WW2 inspired rationed recipes. They were encouraged to complete as many of the 11 recipes as possible and today we revealed the overall winner in assembly! Max completed all 11 wartime recipes plus a twelfth WW2 recipe of his own choice. For Max's fantastic effort and enthusiasm he won a (non rationed!) Percy Pig blondie baking kit. Well done Max!
Have a good weekend.

Hi,
What a busy end to the half term! This week we performed our WW2 Christmas assembly to parents, made Christmas cards and had our Christmas party!
We are incredibly proud of all the hard work all the children have put in this term and especially this week.
Get some well deserved rest over the Christmas break and I look forward to seeing you all in January recharged and ready for a new term!
Miss Bairstow :)

Hi,
This week we have been busy practising for our Y5/6 Christmas assembly which will be at 9.30 on Wednesday. Tickets will be going home today.
Your child's homework this week is to learn all the words to the songs for the assembly!
We have also completed an independent piece of writing about the Avro Factory in Yeadon during WW2. In maths, we have all been completing work linked to fractions.
Have a great weekend.
Miss Bairstow :)
