Ash Class

Teachers: Mrs Holmes 

Teaching Assistants: Mrs Biggs (HLTA) and Mrs Beard

Our first computing session saw Ash creating their own rules to make sure we are staying safe online.

Kicking off a new school year with some new class rules! 

As a last day of term treat, we enjoyed a LIVE online lesson from Deadly 60's Steve Backshall. In our teams, we had to solve the case of the missing fossil by using all of our knowledge on rocks. We had heaps of fun!

This week we have been trying traditional ancient Roman starters including homemade spelt bread, cheese and grapes!

We are ending our science unit on 'Rocks' with a lesson all about the process of soil formation and its layers. We started out with a walk around our school field to compare soil colours and textures in different places before creating 'edible' models to show the three layers of soil: bedrock, sub-soil and top soil. Ash were very sensible and showed great teamwork skills!

In English we have started to look at our next big write... newspaper articles! Today we learnt all about the features of an article before labelling these in groups. We even got to interview survivors of the volcanic eruption during our hot seating task!

Making fossils in science!

Trying homemade chutney and jam from Hettie and Lucy in celebration of British Food Week!
