Hello!
It has been a very exciting week for us all in Pear Tree class.
On Wednesday we had our transition morning where the children met their new class teacher for September. Everybody had a great morning and came back with big smiles! The 'Garden in a Box' art exhibition also took place after school. The children were really proud of their creations and wanted to share their work with everybody. Thank you to those of you who took the time to visit. Please see the school Facebook page for more pictures: https://www.facebook.com/RuffordParkPrimaryandNursery?locale=en_GB
I cannot believe how quickly the weeks have whizzed by and now we only have 1 left! Where has that time gone?
A few little reminders - our KS1 end of year disco is taking place on Monday 14th (make sure to come PARTY ready). Can all library books or reading books that have been taken home this year be returned by Tuesday 15th.
Have a lovely weekend.

Hello!
We have had a lovely week in Pear Tree.
In English the children have all written their own ocean themed shape poem. We have had some amazing ideas and the children have really enjoyed sharing their poems with each other.
In DT we started making our animal and habitat themed bunting. We have cut out all the shapes and will be attaching these to our bunting flags next week.
The highlight of the week has to be todays trip to RHS Harlow Carr. We had a great time exploring the woodland looking at plants and trees. We also went on a minibeast hunt!
Reminder: Can all the gardens in a box be brought in to school on Monday 7th. All of KS1 will be displaying these afterschool in our classrooms on Wednesday 9th for anyone to come in and take a look.
Have a lovely weekend.

Hello!
We have had a lovely week in Pear Tree.
In English we have written some shape poems about a little red crab. The children have really enjoyed our poetry work and we have spent lots of time listening to different poems. Here is a great website for children's poems: https://childrens.poetryarchive.org/poem/the-seagulls/
In PHSE we met the Pantosaurus who taught us a very important lesson about how to keep ourselves and our bodies safe. The children really enjoyed listening to the song. I would encourage you to share this at home too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lL07JOGU5o
On Thursday we had a prickly visitor in school. As part of our Science unit this term we have been looking at wildlife and how we can help wildlife. A member from the 'Prickly Pigs Hedgehog Rescue' came in to tell us all about hedgehogs and the work they do to care for hedgehogs at the rescue. She even brought a baby hoglet with her called Maisy. She was very cute!
Have a lovely weekend.

Hello!
A very hot and sunny week for us in Pear Tree.
In English the children have written their own version of 'Somebody Swallowed Stanley' by creating a new plastic item that could be swallowed by a sea creature. The children have done some amazing work and really showed off their creative imaginations.
In Maths we have been consolidating 2D and 3D shapes. We have been been looking at the properties and grouping shapes based on the properties.
In Science we have been identifying different trees and flowering plants around the school grounds.
Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunshine :)

Hello!
We have had a fantastic week in Pear Tree.
The highlight of our week really has to be Sports Day. All the children should be immensely proud of their efforts during their races! Everyone showed fantastic determination and super team work. Thank you to everyone who came down and cheered the children on.
In Science we have continued with our Plants focus by planting our very own sunflower seeds and talking about what we can do to help it grow and be healthy. Some of the seeds have already started to grow!
This week we finished off our art work for the ALPT Art Exhibition which is all about David Hockney this year. This work will be displayed in a few weeks time at St Oswald's Church - more details to follow.
Have a lovely weekend.
