A really well done to these pupils this week!
Classical music has been the soundtrack for Oak Tree Class’s mornings. Vivaldi’s Season of Spring seemed to be the most well liked – the children said they recognised it from assemblies, but they seemed to enjoy In the Hall of the Mountain King the most.
The visit to Worth Valley Railway has certainly been the highlight of our week. We had a marvellous time pretending to experience being evacuated during the Second World War. I am sure that any creative work we do in response to this visit will be excellent because of it. Thank you for all your inspired costumes – team points all around! The children’s engagement was 100% and their behaviour was superb.
I hope to add pictures – so keep your eyes peeled! Miss Bairstow will also be putting pictures up - so do look on Ash Tree Class's blog/page, too.
Last week we set the first of our additional homework tasks. All children in Y5 and Y6 have been issued with a rationed recipe booklet and letter explaining this task. This will run all the way up until the end of Autumn 2 where we will announce winners and give out prizes for the most recipes completed! Happy cooking! It has been great to have already had some pictures emailed in.
In maths lessons, we have finished Place value and have moved onto addition and subtraction strategies – homework will reflect some of our learning again this week.
Please be aware of the following site:

It is recommended to parents about Internet Safety – especially giving advice about how we can protect our children while they are online.
Homework this week is spellings (as usual) and some revision of prepositions. We have been looking at these in class and they are incredibly helpful to add details into written work.
I hope you have a lovely weekend
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
