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.

As always, it has been a very busy week.
In English, we have continued with our invitation writing based on Cinderella. The children added some wonderful extra information to their invites to persuade people to accept their invite to the Ball. Next week we are moving on to Instruction Writing.
In maths we have been dividing by 2,5 and 10 using both grouping and sharing. We have also continued to work on increasing our mental knowledge of our Times Tables. Well done to all the children who have gained their 2, 5 or 10 Times Tables Certificates this week. Your help working at home on this is really appreciated and needed. Remember the children need to know the multiplication and division facts for each of the times tables.
In our topic work 'Yeadon Explorers' the children have been learning about 'Human' and 'Physical' Features of our local area. Later in our work, this term, we will be comparing these to those found in Tulum, Mexico.
Have a wonderful weekend.
