Aspen Autumn Term 2 - Week1

Date: 7th Nov 2025 @ 8:07pm

Welcome back Aspen!

 I hope you all had a lovely half term and are ready for a great start back to school! We had such a great first term, filled with music, amazing art, learning about the body, and not to forget the Year 4's trip to Low Bank Ground. 

This week for Aspen...

Maths:

This week, the children revisited their understanding of place value, rounding numbers up and down, and counting in thousands. They had great fun playing a dice game where they rolled to create their own large numbers. Once their numbers were made, they challenged their partners to round them correctly and explain their reasoning!

English:

Last term, we created non-chronological reports all about the human body. This week, we have started researching Victorian life in preparation for writing our very own non-fiction books about the Victorians. We had lots of fun role-playing a Victorian school and practising using subordinating conjunctions to add more detail to our writing – we can’t wait to learn even more!

Science:

We have started to explore how sounds are created and what makes them different. To help with our learning, we went on a fun walk around school to listen carefully to all the different sounds we could hear. It was exciting to discover how many sounds are around us every day!
