Hello!
We have had another busy, busy week in Year 5/6!
On Tuesday, we enjoyed watching the KS1 dress rehearsal and Year 5 have been attending more rehearsals for their part in the KS2 performance of The Snow Queen. If your child has not yet brought in a costume for the performance please see the notes below for ideas. Costumes must be in school on Monday for the dress rehearsal.
In our maths lessons this week, we have been addressing misconceptions highlighted by our recent assessments and recapping some basic skills.
In English, we have been completing a piece of independent writing based on the Anthony Browne book, The Tunnel. I have enjoyed reading the stories and seeing where the different tunnels led!
Have a great weekend and see you on Monday for our final week of Autumn term!
Miss Bairstow :)

Hi,
This week Ash Tree have been working extremely hard and completing some assessments so that we can see how much progress they have made this year. We are incredibly proud of all the Year 5's and 6's and all the effort they have put into this work.
We were very lucky to have Mr Smith back with us again on Wednesday morning and the children completed another science investigation. This time the focus was buoyancy.
Year 5's will need to start bringing in their costumes for the Christmas performance next week. Please ensure they come in a named bag.
Have a great weekend!

Hi,
This week in English we have been finishing setting descriptions of a Victorian street scene. The children have worked hard to improve this piece of writing and to make sure they chose a wide range of ambitious vocabulary.
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have been learning about perimeter and Mrs Trotter's groups have been learning how to multiply fractions.
The highlight of our week was spending a morning with Mr Smith (who retired earlier this year!) as he came in to do an exciting science experiment with us. We learnt about friction as part of our work on forces and tested different surfaces to find out which created the most friction.
Remember the Rufford Park Christmas fayre is on Saturday from 12pm - 2pm. Thank you for all of your kind donations towards this event.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the fayre!
