Another great week in Cherry Tree Class!
This week be started our new story in English 'Stickman'. The children have enjoyed sequencing the story and making their very own Stickman. We will be continuing with this story next week. The children will be planning and writing their own Information Poster about Yeadon and where Stickman could visit on his tour.
In maths we have continued our work on fractions. We have been learning about simple equivalent fractions and finding a third of objects and shapes.
In D.T. The children have now completed their moving parts story page from Cinderella. They shared and evaluated their work with each other. I was very impressed with their work and the moving parts they had used.
This half term really is flying by!
Have a wonderful weekend.

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!
