Happy New Year and welcome back to a fun-fuelled term of learning. Ash class are going to looking at 'The Polar Regions' over this half term, this topic will influence all of our learning for the half term.

Ash class are going to be trialling a new homework format this half term. This new layout will be explained in detail to the children, and aims to allow greater learning in a range of curriculum areas. I have attached the homework to this post (I know they sometimes disappear on their long journey home.)

18/12/18 - Spelling Bee and Times Table Bee

I have been amazed by the quality of the spelling, and the speed of the times tables, shown by Ash Class. Congratulations to everyone for your hard work but especially to our finalists (it can be very nervewracking to be in the final)! Please keep it up, because it does make a huge difference to your school work.

The new spelling lists have been sent out today, a couple of people have been moved around groups following their results from the 'Spelling Bee'. The times table lists to learn, stay the same for each group: Blue - 2s, 5s and 10s, Green - 3s, 4s and 8s, Purple - All tables. There are a large number of people who have moved times table groups and so have received a new list, second copies and be picked up by children in class. These will be tested at the end of next half term.

Here are all the documents mentioned above:
