Ash and Juniper Weekly Update – Friday 10th October 2025

Residential

You should have received information regarding next year’s residential at Adventure International. Please can you check and read through the letter carefully.

Our Learning this week:

Maths: This week, the children learnt about subtracting 4 digit numbers, both with and without exchange. The children use the column method and would benefit from practising this at home, particularly where there is an exchange (carrying in old money!).

English: This week, we started a new sequence of learning around the book ‘Weslandia’. We designed and built our own shelters for the character ‘Wesley’, used dictionaries to learn the meanings of new words and described characters using adjectives and subordination (because, when, after).

Science: In science, we learnt about how far vibrations and sound can travel.

Art: We learnt about still life pictures and critiqued paintings from Sam Taylor-Wood.

Homework:

Maths: Please complete the assigned sessions of Times Table Rockstars that have been set. You can log in at this link https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school. The children should be completing 15 minutes per week. This will be 5 minutes in the Soundcheck area and 10 minutes in the Garage.

Reading: Please read five times a week at home. Reading completed in school does not count towards the five times. Please remember to send in reading books with your child

every day.

Spellings: Please complete 8 games on Spelling Shed www.edshed.com

We hope you have a good weekend.

Mr Seldon and Mrs Loudwill
