The first two weeks back have been very busy and productive. The children have enjoyed being back with their friends again!
We have started our new topic 'Message in a Bottle'. The children have been learning about Christopher Columbus and Captain James Cook. We have been learning about the countries that they discovered and some of the good and bad things about these discoveries. The children have also been using maps and atlases to find the continents of the World.
In English we have been using the story of 'The Pirates Next Door' to inspire our writing. We have written recounts of the day the Jolley Rodgers Family arrived. We have also written letters to the Town Hall giving the reasons why the pirates should be made to leave Dull-on-Sea.
In maths we have had a real focus on our Times Tables and quick recall of them. We have been working on our recall of multiplication and division facts for our 2's, 5's and 10's. Your support in practising these at home is much appreciated!
We have had a real sporty return to school. On a Thursday, this half term, we have a dance coach from Leeds Rhinos. The children had a great time last week. On a Friday we are also having some Rugby taster sessions, again from Leeds Rhinos. Last week the children were working on their ball skills, getting used to the shape and feel of a rugby ball.
Enjoy your bank holiday weekend. Let's hope the weather begins to warm up a little.

Well we have reached the end of another term The time is flying by too quickly!
The children have continued to use the story of 'Little Red Riding Hood' to inspire their writing. They have been writing descriptions of the main characters.
In maths we have continued our work on money. The children have been using coins to make £1 and solving a range of reasoning problems involving money.
In PSHE we have also been thinking about money. We have been talking about how to look after money and why we need it.
Today the children got a chance to take part in the 'Egg Scramble'. They all had a great time. I am sure they will enjoy eating their eggs over the holidays.
Well done to all the children who took part in the Book Fair Design Competition. Cherry Tree Class had both the first and second prize winners for KS1. A special 'Congratulations' to Florence and Labiba.
All that's left to say is have a great Easter Holiday!

On Wednesday the children had an extra PE coaching session. They enjoyed a dance session on the Muga. I was impressed with their moves! They all had a great time.
In English we have been reading the story of 'Little Red Riding Hood'. We have been making comparisons with the story of 'The Three Little Pigs'. The children have been writing thought and feelings bubble from different character view points.
In maths we have been learning about money. We have been using coins to make given amounts and ordering coins depending on their value. Any work at home to help with their understanding of money would be really appreciated.
This week we have taken ownership of 'Aslan' again. Well done to all those children who have been reading at least 3 times a week at home.
The highlight of the week was definitely getting to watch the Dress Rehearsal of 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat'. The cast were all amazing and we all really enjoyed it. Well done to all of the children who performed.
Next week is the last week before the Easter Holidays. I can't believe how fast the year is going.
Have a wonderful weekend.
