Aspen and Hawthorn Weekly Update – Friday 14^th November 2025 

Dates for your diary:

• 21^st November –Christmas Fayre

• 9^th December – Year 3 Christmas Sing-a-long

Request – for our DT project over the next few weeks, we will be creating a pneumatic monster toy. We will need some thick, corrugated cardboard to finish off our projects (NOT thin cereal box-type card please). If you have any, we would be grateful if it could be brought in.

Our learning this week: 

English: We continued reading the Tear Thief this week and learnt how to use speech marks in our writing. The children also planned a newspaper article about the missing tears!

Maths: This week, the children practised adding and subtracting using three and two digit numbers. For example, 326 + 34, or 456 – 25. They learnt how to line up the numbers carefully to ensure that they added/subtracted correctly.

Science: This week, the children began to learn about magnetism. They tested a range of materials to see if they were magnetic and learnt that not all metals are magnetic.

P.E-On Tuesday afternoon, the children have been having tennis coaching. Also, on Wednesday afternoon the children are learning how to play netball. Please make sure your child has practical uniform and footwear on both these days.

Homework: 

Please continue to support your child with their homework. Each week, they should be completing:

• TTRS – 15minutes on ‘Garage’
• 10 games on Spelling Shed
• Reading – 5x per week

We have now scheduled a text to be sent out each Tuesday to remind everyone about this. Sometimes, people find it useful to have a prompt to keep up with the routine!

Thank you,

Miss Willey, Mrs Martin & Mrs Bridgman
