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!

Another great week in Cherry Tree Class!
This week, in English, we have continued our work on Instructions. We have started writing a set of Instructions on How to get Cinderella ready for the Ball. We will continue with this next week.
In maths we have continued our work on Multiplication and Division. The children have been using arrays, grouping and their mental skills to solve number sentences and word problems. Next week we will begin our unit of work on money.
On Wednesday the children had a 'Special' visitor in school. Miss Jeffrey's brought in her pet tortoise to show the children. This was to support our science unit looking at animals.
In our PSHE this week we have been talking about surprises and secrets. The children thought about secrets that they have had to keep like a surprise party or birthday present. We talked about who we should talk to if someone asks us to keep a secret that makes us feel uncomfortable. As always, I was very impressed with their sensible answers and knowledge of Trusted Adults.
Next week is the last week of this half term. How quickly that has gone!
Have a wonderful weekend.
