9P had a fantastic week this week! 
 

We did our usual community visits of attending the library and going swimming. 
We celebrated bonfire night by creating our own bonfire crafts. 
We had two lovely visitors who read with us for their Duke of Edinburgh experience. 
 

We had such a good…

On Monday morning we learnt about Remembrance Day. We talked about why we commemorate Remembrance Day and what happens on each year on the 11th November. We then went down to the cage at 11 o'clock to listen to Mrs Chaloner playing the Last Post on her trumpet. The whole class were very…

This week saw some of us continuing with addition and subtraction in maths, looking at how to break down word problems so solve the questions. Some of us worked on multiplication and division, using written methods to find the answers.

In English, we have been writing letters to local garden…

This week in English, we thought of a place we would like to visit on holiday and created a word bank to describe it. We then used these words to tell our families about our holiday on a postcard. We had to be sure to not write too much, as postcards aren't very big, but I think we all got across…

Maths this week has seen us continue with addition and subtraction, with some learners working on adding 3 1-digit numbers together, adding tens across 100s and even adding and subtracting fractions! 

In English we have been working on our reading skills, spending lots of time reading our books…

Our ‘new’ food this week was avocado, we had three who loved it but the majority of 7A didn’t like it!! On Wednesday the students were learning more on the topic Witches and Wizards with Miss Troughton. They played a game, which involved stealing a potion from the Grand High witch without being…

This week we finally finished our letters to Joe Wicks, telling him all about our Healthy Living topic and asking him questions about his favourite food and exercise. We posted them off and have already had a reply from one of his team to say he has received our letters and will reply as soon as…

Last week, we decided in our English lessons that we would write a letter to Joe Wicks to tell him all about our topic Healthy Living and to ask him if he has any tips for us, so today we thought about what we wanted to tell him and what questions we had for him. Hopefully we will get a reply! In…

We have had a fabulous first fortnight in 7A! There are 6 learners in our class who have joined Astley Park in September, so we have taken every opportunity to get to know each other. 
So far we have found out that together we have lots of siblings, lots of pets and that pizza is a firm favourite…

Oak class have had a fantastic two weeks since returning to school after the holidays! They’ve worked so well learning our daily class routines and new faces!

Some highlights over the past two weeks include:

• Swimming lessons
• Walking to Asda, shopping for food technology ingredients…

So Monday started with us reading examples of letters, written in a formal tone. It was funny reading what the people were complaining about but we found some interesting vocabulary that the author had used to get his point across. After break we had maths, where we are recapping addition and…

So, Tuesday saw us return to school.. as Year 10s! Everyone appeared happy to return and share stories of what they had been up to over the holidays. Some great adventures were had by the sounds of it. We started the day playing games altogether, giving us chance to catch up after the 6 week…
