Hello!
I cannot believe how quickly the end of this term has come... We are already 2/3 of the way through the school year!
The children have written another super list poem all about Yeadon. In Maths we have finished the week with a chick hunt game – each chick had an addition, subtraction or fraction question with it that the children had to answer. In PE we finished our Penguin Small dance. Please see the video here: Penguin Small Dance
We made some lovely ‘Hoppy Easter’ cards and the Easter Bunny has been spotted around school today :)
I hope you all have a lovely break and I look forward to welcoming you all back on Monday the 20th April.

Hello!
Week 5 of this half term is done and only 1 week to go until our Easter break!
We have finished our 'Yeadon Explorers' Topic by making our own comparison of Tulum and Yeadon. The children had to think about the human and physical features of both areas and think about what is the same and what is different. They also had to answer the question - Where would you rather live?
In Maths we finished our position and direction work by going outside and completing a challenge in pairs which was all about turns.
In English we have looked at list poems this week and the children have written some lovely poems about the playground and Yeadon Tarn.
Have a lovely weekend.

Hello!
It was wonderful to see so many of you at the Parent Meetings this week. I hope you enjoyed seeing some of your children's work and seeing just how hard they are working in Pear Tree. Everyone has made great progress since the beginning of the year. A big thank you from me for making the effort to come along.
In English we have used our imagination to take Stick Man on a journey around Yeadon. We have then gathered ideas to create an information poster all about Yeadon. The children have used some great persuasive language to try entice visitors to come to Yeadon.
In Maths we have been learning all about position and direction. The children have been describing turns using the language - half, quarter, full, anticlockwise and clockwise
Please see below the children with their own Stick Man from last week :)
Have a lovely weekend!

Hello!
In Maths we have come to our last week on fractions. Over the past two weeks Year 1 have been focusing on half and quarter of shapes, objects and numbers. We have finished by solving fraction word problems.
Our new focus text is 'Stick Man' and this week we have been sequencing and retelling the story. Some children were very brave and retold the story to the whole class using their story map. We have also made our very own Stick Man! I am sure you will agree that they look fantastic :)
Harry - Beware of the dog! Adeline - Sticking in the family tree
We finished our Cinderella Moving Pictures in DT this week. The children did a great job at making their own mechanisms and helping each other.
Have a lovely weekend.

Hello!
We have had another lovely week in Pear. The highlight of the week has definitely been 'World Book Day'.
It was amazing to see so many different characters walk through the door on Thursday morning. All the children were able to tell me who they were and why they had chosen that character. KS1 and EYFS took part in a cat-walk to show off all of the children's fabulous costumes. As World Book Day is all about reading and sharing books we played some book themed games such as a story scavenger hunt and a story quiz. Most importantly we read LOTS of books!
Please continue to reinforce the important message of 'World Book Day' at home with your children. Encourage them to choose to read for pleasure and read lots of stories to them too!
Just a little reminder that parents evening is taking place on Tuesday 17th and Wednesday 18th. Please book an appointment if you haven't done so already :)
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Cotterill
