Welcome to our Ash Class webpage. We hope this page will help you find any information you need about class routines and what we are learning this year. If you have any questions, please contact me via the school email address: admin@thepinesschool.org.uk

Hello. I'm Mrs Whitehouse and this is my fifth year at The Pines. I live in Crowthorne with my husband, my two daughters and my dog Amber. I love reading, cooking, sewing and going to live music events. My favourite colour is blue and I am happiest when I am with my family on a beach, listening to the waves lapping the shore.

I am really looking forward to teaching Ash class this year.

Class Routines

Our main classroom door for the start and end of the school day is at the back of the classroom opening onto the driveway.

Classroom doors open at 8:40am and the school day ends at 3:10pm.

Our regular PE lessons are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On these days, children should come to school wearing their PE kit. Jewellery will need to be removed for the session, or covered with tape.

Current Learning

This term, our curriculum learning is the Anglo-Saxons with the aim of answering the big question: What changes to the Anglo-Saxons bring to Britain? For the full details of this unit, have a look at our Knowledge Organiser below.

Our class novel is The 1000 year old boy.

At the moment, we are particularly focusing on the following:

English: We are currently 'Writing to Inform'. The final written outcome of our work will be a Non-Chronological Report based on our own invented 'monsters' or fictional creatures. We will be focusing on sentence structure, ensuring we understand that all sentences have a subject and a verb.

Maths: We will start the year focusing on Place Value before moving onto Addition and Subtraction, working with larger numbers.

Science: Our Science topic is Materials and their properties.

Art: We will be looking at Typography, linked to the illuminated lettering that could be found during the Anglo-Saxon period.

DT: We will be exploring mechanisms and making pop up books.

PE: Tag Ruby and Netball
