Ash Class have had an exceptionally busy and productive term so far. We have embraced our values and met our challenges head on.

In English, we have been working hard on our instruction writing. This has involved looking at recipes and how they are constructed. We are now very good at using commands in our writing- we have learnt to be bossy! We have followed recipes to make fruit kebabs and even written recipes that we think our favourite animals would enjoy. We had everything from Bug Soup to a Tiger’s Meat Treat!

Our curriculum has been full this term with lots of lovely creative activities, including Art, music, food tech and swimming. Our weekly trips to the pool have been an especially big hit. The pupils really enjoy their lessons and having some fun splash time at the end on the giant floats!

Our topic ‘Inuit to Incas’ continues. We have had a great time looking at the Amazon rainforest and even made mini ones in an eggbox. We looked at how important rainforests are to our planet and what we can do to help with climate change. We are now moving towards the cold climates of the North and our next project, igloos!

Ash Class have worked hard in all that they do. They have persevered when they have found things hard and felt like giving up. They have been full of ambition for both themselves and others. They have demonstrated great kindness by helping each other with the things they find tricky. They have been courageous when meeting new classmates and making new friends. Most of all, they are learning to be accepting of each other and we are incredibly proud of them for that.
