Ash Class Blog
Ash Class have been very busy over the last few weeks. We have been showing all the school values through our interesting activities.
English
In English we have been exploring the life of Frida Kahlo and how she became an Artist. We began with identifying parts of a biography by reading many different examples. We have started using the lovely book 'Frida Kahlo- Little People Big Dreams' as a stimulus and have deepened our understanding of her life through lots of online research.
Maths
We have been working hard on our 4 and 8 times tables this week, focusing on strategies we can use to answer a number of problems. Reasoning and problem solving questions have been a key focus to the learning.
Science
Over the last few weeks we have been using a number of materials to help us identify how rocks can form. We used chocolate to create igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rock, focussing on texture, layers and strength. We had great fun taking part in this hands on experiment to enhance our understanding.
D&T
Next week we will be making our cupcakes. We have spent a number of weeks tasting ingredients, selecting fruits and flavours and learning about kitchen safety and hygiene. We can't wait to make them and follow our advanced designs and plans as a class.

This week's book recommendation is suitable for EYFS children.
How Many Legs? By Kes Gray
A humourous, counting book for children with lots of entertaining illustrations that parents can discuss with their child whilst reading this book together. A little boy invites lots of weird and wonderful creatures to his party and he has to figure out how many legs are coming! A few include a polar bear, who loves jelly; a duck, who brings a lemon cake; a hippo, dressed in a tutu and a squid who rides on a buffoalo! How m any more animals and legs can you find?
Attendance at Central
ClassDojo in Key Stage Two
At Central Primary School, we take attendance and punctuality very seriously. We aim to have an attendance figure in excess of 96% . Our current attendance percentage is 87.4%.
Well done to Oak Class with 99.6%! This is a fantastic result!
Please remember arriving on time for school is important because late arrivals will miss and also disrupt the learning already happening in class.
If you have concerns about or need support with your child's attendance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
