How lovely it has been this week to finally see some sunshine. It really feels like Spring is in the air!
On Tuesday we had a special visitor. Harold the giraffe came in with Jane to talk to the children about Keeping Healthy. Harold is the main character from our PSHE scheme. The children all listened really well and answered questions showing a great understanding of their bodies and how they can keep healthy.
In English we have continued with our story 'The Smartest Giant in Town'. The children have been using drama techniques, including Freeze Frames, to act out the part where the Fox drops his sleeping bag. They have used this to help them plan and write a recount as the Fox.
In Maths we have continued our work on Fractions. This week we have focused on quarters.
Yesterday the children celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as a book character. Ultimately this day is to promote reading and a joy of books. Please remember to read with your children at home to help develop and instill this love of books and reading.
Let's keep our fingers crossed for a sunny weekend!

It was lovely to see all the happy faces Monday morning after a week off.
It has been an unusual week as I was on the Year 4 Residential Tuesday and Wednesday. Cherry Tree were left in the capable hands of Mrs Hand and Miss Scott. I did manage to see the children Tuesday morning and on Wednesday before the end of the school day.
I think the highlight of the week for the children has been beginning to make their Moving Pages for D.T. (Design Technology). Mrs Hand said that they all worked very carefully and were beginning to make changes to their plans where needed.
In English we have been linking our writing to the story of 'The Smartest Giant in Town'. The children have been focusing on using commas in a list especially when using adjectives to describe the main character George. Homework this week is to use commas in a list.
In maths we have started our unit of work on Fractions. During our lessons we will continue to recap on number and the 4 operations.
Next week, on Thursday, is 'World Book Day'. Last week's new letter contained some information about what the children can do.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Well this half term really has gone in a flash!
The children have all worked incredibly hard and I am sure are all ready for a rest.
This week we completed our unit of writing using the story of Cinderella. The children have all enjoyed this story and the writing we have done.
In maths we have had a 'Money' week. The children have been counting coins and using then to make given amounts. Giving your children the opportunity to handle real money is so important if they are to fully understand the concept of money. Next half term we will be moving on to 'Fractions'.
In music this week the children all enjoyed using some percussion instruments to perform their own short musical pieces.
I hope you all have an enjoyable half term break. Let's hope the rain stops!
