A fun packed week with Sports Day and more DT Lunchbox Testing!
In English we have continued with the story 'Somebody Swallowed Stanley'. The children have created their own character inspired by a piece of rubbish. Next week they will be planning a different version of the story using their new character.
In maths we have continued our assessments. We have also been recapping on shape and charts and tables.
Sports Day on Wednesday was the highlight of the week. The children all had a great time and I was very impressed with their overall attitude and resilience.
On Wednesday afternoon, Mrs Hand, continued the Lunchbox Testing. Next week the children will be evaluating their designs.
Next week we have our Skipping Festival on Wednesday afternoon. Please make sure that your child comes to school in their PE kit that day. Thank you!
Enjoy your weekend of sunshine and showers.

A great first week back!
We started the week off by releasing our butterflies. We had 5 altogether which had been carefully looked after by ME in the holidays. The children enjoyed watching them develop and finally being released.
In English we have started a new book called 'Somebody Swallowed Stanley'. The children have been making predictions about the story and describing the main character 'Stanley'. The book has also inspired some great discussions about looking about our environment and plastic pollution.
In maths we have been very busy. We have been recapping on mental and written strategies to solve both arithmetic and reasoning problems. We have also had a recap on both 2D and 3D shapes.
On Wednesday the children enjoyed an afternoon of testing with Mrs Hand. They were testing their lunchboxes to see if they could be sent across a rope. Part of their design brief was that the boxes must be able to be sent across a rope to the Pirate Ship.
We have also been busy getting ready for Sports Day. We look forward to seeing some of you there on Wednesday morning.
Have a great weekend!

This year really is whizzing by!
As always it has been a very busy week in Cherry Tree Class.
We have completed some end of year assessments this week in Reading. I have been very impressed with the children's overall concentration and their ability to retrieve information and make simple inferences too. Please keep reading at home to allow them to continue to build on the progress they have made this year.
In maths we have continued to work on a range of reasoning problems. We have also recapped on adding and subtracting multiples of 10 and adding and subtracting from multiples of 10.
In our writing lessons the children have been 'having a go' at using purple pen to edit their work. They have really enjoyed this! We will continue to develop this skill next half term.
On Wednesday the children enjoyed an afternoon of DT with Mrs Hand. They have all now completed making their 'Packed Lunch Boxes'. Next half term (in the first week back) they will test them to see if they can send them across a rope.
All the children have had their letters about our Summer Trip and the Skipping Festival. If you could return the permission slips as soon as possible that would be much appreciated.
Wishing you all a wonderful half term. Fingers crossed we get some sunshine!
