It was lovely to see all the children back in school on Tuesday. We are now in the final term of the year. Where has the time gone?
We had a few lessons to finish, so we are continuing with our topic 'Yeadon Explorers' for the first 2 weeks of the term. This week the children have been learning about the old school 'South View School'. They have been looking at evidence on the school grounds of the old school. These included the old walls, original window and the old stone sign that was above the entrance.
In English we are continuing the theme of Yeadon to write some Yeadon inspired poetry. The children have been looking at List Poems and becoming more familiar with the structure of poems. They have written their own List Poem using their walk to the Tarn for some ideas.
In maths we have been using the inverse to solve missing number addition and subtraction problems. We have also been using our addition and subtraction skills to solve number sentences and then compare them using the less than, greater than and equal to signs. We will be continuing to work on our quick recall of times tables facts for 2,5 and 10 times tables. Your help at home to work on these would be appreciated. The children need to know the multiplication and division facts for these times tables.
Well done to all the children who completed the 'Screen Time Challenge'. The winning classes will be announced next week.
Remember that the Book Fair will be in school all next week. You will be able to visit this either before or after school. Please look at the school newsletter for more information.
Enjoy your weekend.

Last week I started my blog with the thought that summer was on its way and this week it feels like winter has returned!
It really has been a very busy week in Year 2 Cherry this week.
On Tuesday we had a little trip out with our local walk to the Tarn. The weather was not quite as warm and sunny as I would have liked but the children loved getting out of school. We looked at lots of human features of Yeadon and talked about what things were old and new. The children were amazing and I am sure all the general public that we saw will have been impressed with their excellent behaviour.
This week we have continued our work using the story Stick Man. The children have been writing sentences using commas in a list to do with Stick Man and his adventures. They have also been planning their own Stick Man adventure using Yeadon as a setting. To help them really get their creative juices flowing they even made their own Stick Man.
The children shared their new adventure with a partner and used their Stick Man to help bring the story to life.
In maths we have continued our work on Time. Any work at home on telling the time would really be appreciated.
I can't believe we have come to the end of another term. The school year is really going too fast.
Please make sure that your child reads as much as possible in the holidays. They have all got a Screen Time Challenge sheet home with them and reading is one of the things that they could do instead of picking screen time. The winning class will get a special treat (it will not be watching a film).
Wishing you all a very happy Easter holiday.

If feels like summer is finally on its way! The weather has been beautiful this week and the children have loved being able to go outside without needing big coats.
Please remember that even in warmer weather children do need a coat in school each day. The weather can be very unpredictable. Please also make sure that your child has their water bottle in school.
We have been doing assessments this week. I have been very impressed with the children. They have all worked really hard and tried their very best!
In English we have started a new story, 'Stick Man', by Julia Donaldson. The children have been sequencing the story using pictures and partner talk to retell the main parts to each other. Next week they will be planning and writing their own Stick Man adventures using Yeadon as a setting.
In science we have continued our work on Plants. The children have been looking at the difference between wild and garden flowers.
Next week, weather permitting, we are doing our Local Walk to the Tarn. Please make sure that you have returned the permission slip by Monday. On this walk we will be focusing on old and new features and things that are human and physical features.
Enjoy the lovely sunshine this weekend.
