The tile XML needs to be combined to look like this:

    
        
            01 
            Tue 
        
        
             
            some text 
        
    

Now there are many ways you can use to get your XML into this form, but my favourite way is to use the use the NotificationsExtensions library as it encapsulates the XML manipilation.

Once you reference the library in your project your code should look like this:

// create the wide template
ITileWide310x150PeekImageAndText01 wideContent = TileContentFactory.CreateTileWide310x150PeekImageAndText01();
wideContent.TextBodyWrap.Text = "some text";
wideContent.Image.Src = "ms-appx:///Assets/WideLogo.png";

// create the square template and attach it to the wide template 
ITileSquare150x150Block squareContent = TileContentFactory.CreateTileSquare150x150Block();
squareContent.TextBlock.Text = "01";
squareContent.TextSubBlock.Text = "Tue";
wideContent.Square150x150Content = squareContent;

var tn = new TileNotification(wideContent.GetXml());
TileUpdateManager.CreateTileUpdaterForApplication("App").Clear();
TileUpdateManager.CreateTileUpdaterForApplication("App").Update(tn);
