Ash and Juniper Weekly Update – Friday 20th March 2026
Dates for your diary
Tuesday 31st March: KS2 project day
Our Learning this week:
History walk: The children had their walking tour of Stratton on Friday and learnt some of the history of Stratton and how things have changed. They also visited the Tree Inn pub where they found out about Anthony Payne, ‘the Cornish giant’. Thank you to those that helped.
English: Continuing with their learning around the book Tutankhamun, the children wrote a set of instructions on how mummification works. They first used the book to learn about the process before writing out the instructions in their own words.
Maths: The children continued their fraction learning. They learnt about improper fractions and how to convert them into mixed number fractions.
Music: The children continued their learning around ‘Mamma Mia’ and learnt some other famous songs sung by Abba.
Science: This week, the children learnt about the four main types of teeth we have and their functions: Incisors, molars, pre-molars and canines.
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.
