It’s been a very busy start to the new term in Ash class this week as you will see from the pictures in the gallery below. The pictures show some active learning that has been happening this week.
These activities include:
- Literacy – we went on a dragon hunt around school to help us with using ‘prepositions’.
- RE – we dipped apple into honey and made new years wishes when learning about the Jewish festival of Rosh Hashanah.
- RE – we worked in pairs to make ‘menorah’ candles which are lit during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.

Rosh Hashanah
We dipped slices of apple in honey and made our wishes for the new year, in hope that they will be sweet.
Hanukkah
We worked in pairs to create our own ‘Menorah’ candles that Jewish people light each night during the 8 days of Hanukkah.

We went on a dragon hunt around school looking for Dragon tails. We practiced orally forming sentences using prepositions to describe where we found them. These are displayed on our working wall so that we can use them next lesson:
