After a warm and sunny weekend it has felt that winter has returned this week.
The children have continued to use the story of 'The Three Little Pigs' this week to inspire their writing. They have been planning and writing letters to Mummy Pig inviting her to come to see them at their house of bricks.
In maths we have been looking at finding thirds of numbers, objects and shapes. The children have really enjoyed this unit of work and shown a good level of understanding. Your support in helping us to get the children to become more secure with their 2, 5 and 10 times tables is much appreciated. This knowledge of Times Tables is crucial when finding given factions.
In our topic 'Step Back in Time' we have been learning about Victorian School Life. We have linked this to the old school that was on our site built in Victorian Times. The children have been looking at photo evidence and comparing the old school to our school today.
As promised, a picture of Cherry Tree class on World Book Day last week. World Book Day is all about encouraging children to read, especially for pleasure. Please remember to listen to your child read at home and record this in the school reading record book.
I look forward to seeing you all at next week's Parent Meetings.
Enjoy your weekend!

As always a busy and productive week!
It has been an unusual week as I spent two days of it with the Year 4's on their Nell Band Residential.
This week the children have continued their work on Fractions. They have been finding quarters of numbers, objects and shapes. We have also been learning about equivalent fractions and that a half is equivalent to two quarters.
In English we have continued to use the story of the 'Three Little Pigs'. The children have been writing letters to Mummy Pig inviting her to their house of bricks.
The highlight of the week was World Book Day. The children enjoyed doing some different activities linked to reading. This day is to promote reading and especially reading for pleasure. Please remember to listen to your child read at home at least three times each week. Thank you for your support with this.
Unfortunately due to a technical hitch I can't upload the World Book Day pictures. I will add them next week if I can.
Enjoy your sunny weekend!

An extremely busy first week back!
Our new topic this half term is 'Step Back in Time'. This week we have been learning a little about Queen Victoria. This is in preparation for our work on how Yeadon has changed since Victorian Times.
In maths we have started our unit of work on Fractions. This week the children have been finding a half of objects. shapes and numbers. I have been very impressed with the children's understanding and their ability to see the links with dividing by 2.
In English we have been using the story of 'The Three Little Pigs' to inspire our writing. The children have been sequencing and orally retelling the story. We have also used drama to think about how the pigs felt at different points in the story. Next week we will be writing letters to Mummy Pig from the Pigs.
Enjoy your weekend!
