Aspen and Hawthorn Weekly Update – Friday 3^rd October 2025

Key Dates:

• Thursday 9^th October – REARRANGED BEACH TRIP – Please make sure that you have consented on the app. If your child will be attending After School Club please make sure that you have emailed your class teacher to let them know.   HELP is still required for this trip to take place.

Our learning this week:

English: This week, the children have edited and improved their writing from last week.  They have been learning about modal verbs – would, could, should, may and might - and writing a diary as if they were a child in the Stone Age.

WCR: In whole class reading we have been reading ‘After the Fall’ thinking about how falling off a wall changed Humpty Dumpty!

Maths: This week, the children have been comparing and ordering numbers to 1000 and counting on in 50s. They continue to use their mental maths skills to complete fluent in five questions.

History: This week we have looked closely at pictures of different Stone Age tools and have discussed which era of the Stone Age we think they belong to when comparing them.

R.E.:  Our R.E. unit of work this half term is based around the Christian story of creation.

P.E.:  Symmetry in gymnastics and football continue to be our units of work this half term.

Homework:

• Spelling – 10 games on Ed Shed each week
  • Children on RWI – We have set some challenge words for children who are still on the RWI programme.
• TTRS – 15 minutes per week on ‘Garage’
• Reading – 5 times a week

We keep a record of how much homework children are doing each week.

Thank you,

Miss Willey, Mrs Martin & Mrs Carpenter
