Welcome to Ash Class 2025!
We have had a lovely start to the term, getting to know each other and sharing our holiday news.
We have made our class charter, which sets out our rules for the classroom and we have worked in RHSE on using good manners, being kind and helping each other to be happy.
We are all looking forward to an enjoyable year together and learning lots of new and interesting things.
Maths Week in Ash Class
This week we have been learning about the area and perimeter of shapes.
We have explored using equipment to create different shapes with a specified perimeter and then working out the area.
We have walked around different areas of school to count their perimeters.
We have recorded our ideas on squared paper and measured carefully to get accurate answers.
We finished the week by designing our own playgrounds using given area measurements for the whole thing and each piece of equipment inside it.
Electricity
In Autumn 1 we learnt how to create a circuit to light a bulb.
We then explored how to make a switch and what effect adding another bulb or battery would have on our circuit or brightness of the bulb.
We ended the term by programming a microbit within a circuit, to switch the bulb on and off!
