Cherry Tree Class have had a fun packed week!
It started on Monday when we did some collecting of nature for our 'Out for a Walk' art work. The children used petals, flowers and leaves to create their masterpieces. We also collected sticks to use as frames for our work. The end pieces were amazing and all looked so different. We had some bits left so the children all made a bookmark too.
On Tuesday we had an African Drumming Workshop. The children all had a go at playing the drums. Joseph (from Art Forms) taught them about pulse and rhythm. The played and sang some traditional African songs.
In English we have continued with our work using the story 'Lila and the Secret of Rain'. The children have written recounts as Lila, created story maps and used them to orally retell the story. We have also started to plan our own version of the story which we will be writing next week.
In maths we have been continuing to work on division and multiplication word problems. We have also been doing some investigation maths. The children had to use numicon and numbers to make certain amounts to complete the challenges.
Another exciting week next week with Sports Day to look forward to.
Have a great weekend.

Our trip to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park on Tuesday has definitely been the highlight of this week.
We all had a fantastic day! The children got to see giraffes, rhinos, lions, tigers to name but a few. I think the polar bears were a favourite. They were playing in the water, putting on a great show for the children. The children were all amazingly well behaved!
As a follow up we wrote some postcards from the park and created some sunset silhouettes using some of the animals that we saw.
The children should all have brought home some information on our Summer Term Homework Project. This is continuing our theme of Africa. I look forward to seeing the children's creations.
Have a wonderful weekend!

What an extremely busy first week back!
The highlight of the week has been the Year 2 Skipping Festival that we attended on Thursday morning. It was great to be back out and the children were all very excited. I think for some the bus journey, and the fact that it was a double decker, was the most exciting thing! The children all did amazingly well. There were lots of individual certificates gained and some winning group skips (more individual pictures to follow next week). However the greatest achievement was that we were the overall winners of the day. Congratulations Year 2 Super Skippers!
This week we have continued our work linked to our topic 'African Adventure'. The children have been writing predictions about our new book 'Lila and the Secret of Rain'. They have also written some thought bubbles as Lila, trying hard to include our Year 2 end of year writing objectives. We have also been learning about the Big 5! Next week we will be looking out for some of these animals at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
In maths we have been solving multiplication problems and writing fact families for known multiplication facts. Over the next few weeks we will be recapping on various maths objectives making sure that children have a secure knowledge in preparation for their move to Key Stage 2.
The children are already getting very excited for our next adventure out of school on Tuesday. Our visit to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park should be a great day and the weather is looking good. The children have brought home a reminder letter today.
Have a lovely weekend.
