We read a story together about a haunted house and absolutely loved it! (See above for our spooky picture!) #### This week we had a visitor from Explore Judaism UK. We extended our knowledge about Judaism even further by learning all about the Jewish food laws. We identified Kosher foods and the Kosher symbol and even tasted some foods. We loved Challah bread! ![](https://www.stakesbyschool.net/images/Ash%20Class/DSC01015.JPG) ![](https://www.stakesbyschool.net/images/Ash%20Class/DSC01016.JPG) ![](https://www.stakesbyschool.net/images/Ash%20Class/DSC01018.JPG) ![](https://www.stakesbyschool.net/images/Ash%20Class/DSC01019.JPG) ![](https://www.stakesbyschool.net/images/Ash%20Class/DSC01020.JPG) ![](https://www.stakesbyschool.net/images/Ash%20Class/DSC01014.JPG) #### In maths we have been learning how to use the column method when adding and subtracting large numbers. #### Our ereaders arrived this week! We can’t wait to start using them! ![](https://www.stakesbyschool.net/images/Ash%20Class/DSC01009.JPG) ![](https://www.stakesbyschool.net/images/Ash%20Class/DSC01008.JPG) #### Rhys is our new Pupil Rep (as voted for by the class) and India was our star of the week due to her positive attitude. #### Over half of Ash class competed in the cross country event this week at Caedmon. All the children did really well – Olivia MT came 3rd out of 100 pupils! A huge well done to everyone, especially Ellie who had very achy legs the next day! ### [ W/E 4th November 2016](https://www.stakesbyschool.net/blog/2016-11-04-11-29-58-w-e-4th-november-2016) [Wednesday 9th November 2016 ](https://www.stakesbyschool.net/blog/2016-11-09-11-07-54-wednesday-9th-november-2016) ![Stakesby Primary Academy](https://files.schudio.com/stakesby-community-primary-school-2/images/logo/StakesbyPrimary-Logo.png) ### Stakesby Primary Academy Byland Road Whitby North Yorkshire YO21 1HY 01947 820231 - [Enquire Learning Trust ](https://www.enquirelearningtrust.org/) - [Facebook Feed](https://www.facebook.com/stakesbyprimaryacademy/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stakesbyprimaryacademy/) © Copyright 2026 Stakesby Primary Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stakesbyschool.net/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
